hebime ヘビ目

No comments
In anime, the term for characters with vertical slit pupils in Japanese is hebime ヘビ目, "snake eyes," also spelled hebime 蛇目, hebime 蛇眼, since they look like a snake's eyes. Since they also look like a cat's eyes, they're also called nekome 猫目 sometimes.

The difference is just whether the character looks more like a cat or like a snake.
