All the characters in _Mirai Nikki_ follow more or less the same style, with
one exception - [Eighth](http://futurediary.wikia.com/wiki/Kamado_Ueshita),
who has a strangely oversized head.

Why is this? Is there a specific reason Eighth has this appearance?

Why does Eighth have such an oversized head?


I wasn't able to find anything that explicitly stated as to why her character
design is that way. It is apparent that a lot of the fans do not understand
why her design is that way and do not like the way she looks.

I will try to explain my interpretation as to why she might have been created
to look that way.

  1. **Character Impression**

During the series, a good number of the diary owners are sociopaths that enjoy
killing other people. There are a few exceptions to the trend like
[Yuki](http://futurediary.wikia.com/wiki/Yukiteru_Amano),
[Keigo](http://futurediary.wikia.com/wiki/Keigo_Kurusu), etc.
[Kamado](http://futurediary.wikia.com/wiki/Kamado_Ueshita) is also part of
this group not wanting to have anything to do with the game, but her orphan
children want her to win and form a little army to protect her. The character
design that was chosen shows that she doesn't look threatening in any way and
leads most people to believe she is harmless.

  2. **Motherly Figure**

As we all know, Kamado runs an orphanage that caters to quite a few children.
This design could imitate how some children perceive their mother. A mother or
father is a very big presence in a child's life, and this over inflated head
design can reflect how a mothers head may look to a small child when she is
bending down talking to a child or infant.

Taking those factors into account, that could lead to an exaggerated character
design. Note that this is in no way 100% fact, as it is my general
interpretation as to why the artist may do this.
