    [Danbooru2019 Figures dataset](/crop#danbooru2019-figures "Danbooru2019 Figures dataset is a large-scale Character anime illustration dataset of _n_ = 855,880 images (248GB) cropped from Danbooru2019 using the AniSeg anime character detection model. The images are cropped to focus on a single character's entire visible body, extending 'portrait' crops to 'figure' crops. This is useful for tasks focusing on individual characters, such as character classification or for generative tasks."){.include}
