| - In relation to anime and manga, the term refers to an image in which a female character's briefs are exposed for any length of time (in contrast to the original meaning, which stipulates a brief 'flash' of undergarment). In English usage, the term has become almost synonymous with 'upskirt', and is considered the most common form of fanservice in Japanese animation. Panchira also plays a significant role in games softwear, particularly in dating sims and visual novels.
- Panchira(パンチラ) means upskirt in Japan. The word is a portmanteau of "panty"(パンティーpantī) and chira, the Japanese sound symbolism representing a glance or glimpse. Panchira is an expression used by Japanese women to warn each other that their underwear is visible; the term carries risqué connotations similar to the phrase "your slip is showing" in English usage. From that point on, panchira was inextricably linked with the lewd humor that would, in time, become a staple of Japanese animation and entertainment in general (see Ecchi and Fan service).[citation needed]

abstract
| - Panchira(パンチラ) means upskirt in Japan. The word is a portmanteau of "panty"(パンティーpantī) and chira, the Japanese sound symbolism representing a glance or glimpse. Panchira is an expression used by Japanese women to warn each other that their underwear is visible; the term carries risqué connotations similar to the phrase "your slip is showing" in English usage. In anime and manga, panchira refers to a panty-shot or upskirt take. It has been used extensively by Japanese artists and animators since the early sixties. According to anecdotal sources in Japan, the convention is believed to have started with Osamu Tezuka, whose character designs for Uran ("Astro Girl" in English, from the Astro Boy comic strip (Japanese: Tetsuwan Atom)) incorporated an improbably brief hemline. The practice was transferred to animation when Astro Boy was adapted for television in 1963. Confined mainly to harmless children's series throughout the remainder of the decade, panchira took on more fetishistic elements during the early seventies, most notably in Tezuka's Marvelous Melmo (1971), Toei Doga's adaptions of Go Nagai's Cutey Honey (1973), and Inoue Tomo's Majokko Megu-chan (1974).[citation needed] From that point on, panchira was inextricably linked with the lewd humor that would, in time, become a staple of Japanese animation and entertainment in general (see Ecchi and Fan service).[citation needed] This template name redirects to {{[[Template:|]]<i>…</i>}} which may be edited using [[ edit]].

In the present day, panchira pervades almost every known anime genre, making it—arguably—one of the defining characteristics of the artform. It is particularly prevalent in so-called harem anime, adult romances and hentai.[citation needed] Some Japanese celebrities have been convicted of panchira. Masashi Tashiro was fined 50,000 Yen for filming up a women's skirt in Toritsudaigaku Station, Tokyo, with a camcorder.
