Why do so many cartoon characters only have a thumb and three fingers? Simple: a four-fingered hand is SO much easier to draw than a five-fingered hand. Plus, it simplifies the design of the hand in the same way the rest of the body is simplified. Although this simplification has been on a decline in cartoons starring people, it has never completely gone away. This only appears in more "cartoony" styles; action or dramatic series won't usually use this, and it rarely shows up in Japanese works for several reasons: Yakuza members traditionally chop off fingers if they are unable to pay back a debt, or as punishment for other offences that don't warrant death. The four-fingered hand is taken as a derogatory and often offensive reference to the burakumin caste (four fingers = four legs = animals; also, it's easy to lose a finger through the sort of dangerous labour to which burakumin are often relegated). The number four in Japanese also means death and is seen as highly unlucky. (This only really applies to human characters: there are still plenty of animal, alien, or monster characters with eight fingers, most likely due to some form of What Measure Is a Non-Human?) Quite often, Western four-fingered characters have to be edited to have a fifth finger. Interestingly, this does not include Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, despite Disney's popularity in Japan—see Kingdom Hearts. Not a fan of their works being edited in any way, Disney is said to have paid USD 5 million a year to Japanese pressure groups to avoid being sued for Mickey's "insulting" four-fingered hands.note This was mentioned by the creators of the Oddworld video game franchise in their book, where they also say they had to edit a finger off the player's character to avoid similar extortion. This trope is not limited to depiction of humanlike characters: Animal characters (from any point along the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism) can also be depicted with a reduced number of digits on each paw when compared to its real-life equivalent — typically three visible toes on a given foot rather than four (although some of the earliest cartoons simplified it even further, depicting only two digits on a given foot). Actually, sometimes, the fact that the characters are not humans provides an excuse. Funny Animals in particular often combine four-fingered hands with three-toed feet. This is excusable when human characters in the same context also exhibit four-fingered hands, but it can be jarring if the humans have five-fingered hands, or if other animals in the same context are depicted with the correct number of digits. Those with four-fingered hands are often seen wearing White Gloves. Compare Fingerless Hands, when a character has completely no fingers. Contrast Extra Digits when a character has more than 5 fingers and/or toes. |

Zeromaru, one of the protagonists of Digimon V-Tamer 01, is first seen with four fingers/claws, though he eventually grows a fifth, or rather, "evolves" into a form with a fifth. Four whatever reason, other monsters of his initial form are always given five fingers/claws in every other franchise work. | |

In Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?, it's mentioned that Toon cigars resemble dynamite, and sometimes there's real dynamite mixed in—explaining why so many Toons have only four fingers. (Oddly enough, when Roger temporarily becomes human, he suddenly has five fingers, much to his confusion.) | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) has both the four-fingered and five-fingered hands. The SEGA-based heroes and the normal humans have five fingers while those from the Saturday morning Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) series or Original Generation characters have four fingers. The humans with four fingers were given the name "Overlanders", while five-fingered humans are still referred to as "humans". This was lampshaded in the original miniseries where a fish robot attacks a drawing of Sonic on a rock, then mumbles about how he should have realized it was fake because it had four fingers. | |

Ditto with Digimon. Some digimon, including more animalistic types, have three-toed feet with four or five fingered hands such as Veemon. However, others may have the same exact number of toes and fingers such as Agumon (who has three digits) and Leomon (who has five digits). And then there are the digimon who have their feet covered, such as Beelzemon or Knightmon.... | |

Monster Hunter: Wyverians are usually depicted with four digits to a hand. This was largely inconsequential for a long while, largely because it was hard to spot - the limited animation on NPCS meant little attention on hands, when they even bothered to render individual fingers. Until Monster Huner Rise that is, where plot-central Wyverian twins Hinao and Mikoto have their three-fingered hands lovingly rendered in all their animations, making them very noticeable and adding to their mysterious aura. | |

As he's a monkey, it would normally be acceptable, but Diddy Kong gets a special mention: he had four fingers when he was still owned by Rare (which is British), but (probably because of the Yakuza concern mentioned in the intro) he switched over to five fingers when Nintendo (which is Japanese) took over. This somehow ends up making him a bit more anatomically accurate, since real life monkeys have five-fingered hands like humans. | |

Interestingly, both played straight and averted in Wreck-It Ralph. Of the three games original to the film, only the characters from cutesy racer Sugar Rush have four-fingered hands. Characters from Hero's Duty have five fingers befitting its realistic looking design and characters from Fix-It Felix Jr. have five fingers befitting its supposed origin as an '80s Japanese-made arcade game. Oddly, the 1980 character Turbo, who otherwise has rather cartoony features like Felix and Ralph (rather than the Animesque look of the Sugar Rush characters), only has four fingers, even when out of disguise. It should also be noted that Sugar Rush is supposed to be a Japanese-developed game, and Japanese-made characters usually don't have four fingers for reasons listed above. | |

Pinocchio has four fingers as a puppet, but has five fingers after he's been turned into a human at the end of the film. Geppetto, Stromboli, Lampwick, and all the other humans have five fingers each, but for some reason, the Coachman only has four. Justified for the Coachman: he's implied to not really be a "human…" Also justified for Pinocchio, since he's a puppet. Honest John the fox and Gideon the cat have four-fingered hands. Jiminy Cricket usually has four fingers, though in the educational short "You and Your Food", he suddenly has five◊ when explaining the five food groups. | |

As if he weren't mysterious enough, Zer0 of Borderlands 2 is the only character in the game that has only four fingers, making even his species ambiguous. | |

Shipwrecked 64: Played straight, and later, Played for Horror. Bucky Beaver and his cast allnote Except Giovanni Goose, who has wings without Feather Fingers have traditional four-fingered cartoon hands, being a direct pastiche of Mickey Mouse and friends. But... so do the Creepy Mascot Suits in their likeness... Later in the game, you see one of them with the right hand of the suit removed. Two of the person's fingers have been fused together to match the character. | |

Firebreather: Half-dragon Duncan Rosenblatt plays this for laughs in the comic book. After being called to the principal's office, a teacher stops him for a hall pass. He promptly tries various pockets, leaving one out to show the teacher. Once in the principal's office, he shows his four fingered hand and asks "Help me out, which one is "the bird"?" Oddly, the animated film gives him five fingers. | |

Both protagonists in Sam & Max: Freelance Police, a dog and rabbit team, have three-toed feet. Lampshaded in "Moai Better Blues" from the video game series, when a tribe of foot-worshipping ocean chimps mentions that, despite fitting some general descriptors of their prophecies of the true high priest, he's ineligible for any role holier than sidekick to the high priest, because while he was blessed with feet, they're not complete. Max claims he never noticed before, and is suddenly repulsed by Sam's freakish feet. | |

Homestuck follows this trope with one notable exception — the Midnight Crew have varying amounts of digits.

Penny Arcade as by Krahulik nearly always draws only three fingers and a thumb, even in relatively "realistic" stories like in "Sand". There are exceptions to this, such as the female assassin with the umbrella fighting the Cardboard Tube Samurai, but those are highly unusual. Compare this comic with this comic. | |

All of the characters in The Order of the Stick have only three fingers. Given this is a Stick-Figure Comic, they're lucky they have fingers at all. It's also used for several jokes: The "Bugsby's Hand" spells have four fingers, though. One of them can apparently be used to display your displeasure with someone, but it happens off-screen so we can't be sure how it managed that. At one point a character questions whether they really even have anything that qualifies as a "thumb". #1281: "But It Gets Better Every Generation": A mimic takes on human form, and Belkar and Elan complain about it actually having four fingers and a thumb. |

Undertale: Mettaton, the game's resident human fanboy/robotic Agent Peacock, has four-fingered hands in White Gloves. According to Word of God, it's because all of his knowledge of humans comes from human media that has fallen into the Underground, including western cartoons, and the ubiquity of this trope left him confused over how many fingers humans usually have. Zig-zagged with Muffet, who is drawn with three fingers per hand (18 total) in-game, but four per (24 total) in The Merch. With the other monsters, it varies wildly. Most of the monsters lack hands, though those who have them are usually either shown to have three to four fingers or lack enough sprite detail to tell one way or the other. Monsters with a more humanoid shape, such as Knight Knight and Asgore, have five fingers on each hand. On a related note, the Tough Glove is described as being "for five-fingered folk." |

The Tauren and Trolls in the Warcraft universe only have three fingers on each hand. The Tauren's hands are evolved hooves most likely. The trolls are just trolls. Gnomes, goblins, and worgen in beast-form have four fingers per hand, as do the Pandaren. | |

All characters, human or otherwise, in The Mansion of E have four fingers (if they have hands). This is not just an artistic convenience; when a human character visits from another webcomic, he has five fingers. The 4-fingered trait seems to have influenced the development of their societies: they seem to use a base-8 number system, even saying "4 minutes" when real-world humans would say 5. (Correspondingly, they have 20 hours in the day.) | |

Woody Woodpecker has two-toed feet. Woodpeckers in real life have feet with their toes in a kind of X formation — two forwards (the 2nd and 3rd digits), and two backwards (1st and 4th digits), to allow for clinging to rough vertical surfaces like tree bark. These are known as Zygodactyl feet. Except Three-toed woodpeckers, which, as their name implies, have only three toes (missing their inward back toe). |

In Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, most Cybertronians have five fingers on their hands. Swerve, the loudmouthed bartender on the Lost Light, has four. There are also occasional characters who have claws in place of hands, like Whirl, but that's acknowledged In-Universe as the result of mutilation (the corrupt pre-war government would replace hands and faces with claws and cyclopean features as a form of public shaming). | |

In Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures, having three fingers and a thumb seems to be not just an artist habit but a species trait, with some characters having three fingers and a thumb while others, usually horses or cows, have only three digits on each hand. As for humans, they tend to have a normal amount. (And yet the artist draws herself with only four digits, fueling speculation that she is secretly a Fraggle.) | |

Most of the species in Halo sport three or five fingers, but Grunts and Elites each have four - three fingers and an opposable thumb for Grunts, and two fingers and two opposable thumbs in the case of Elites.

In Zootopia it's played straight with all mammal species that have claws or paws, like foxes, rabbits, mice, etc. But addition, all cloven-hoofed species, like buffalo, sheep, and gazelles, are consistently shown with three — two "fingers" and a "thumb". And bizarrely enough, odd-toed ungulates (horses and zebras) don't have any fingers at all!◊ This makes for an amusing sight when, as Bogo is about to kick Judy off of her case, Nick proclaims that she still has ten hours to solve it — while holding up all eight fingers. | |

In Slightly Damned, the Jakkai and Khamega races play this trope straight. Pointed out and Played for Laughs in this post by the author herself. Since all demons look different some have five fingered hands, some have four fingers and others have only three, even then it can still be rather varied as in addition to the traditional four fingered look we meet one demon (Buwaro's late father) who had four fingers and no thumbs on his hands and some of the three fingered demons have a ninja turtle-esce design of two-fingers-and-a-thumb while a few had three fingers and no thumbs. | |

Avatar: The Na'vi have four fingers, four toes, and a base eight counting system. Given that the film's budget dwarfs many countries' annual budgets, this was probably just to be alien. The avatars have five, so it would seem intentional. Played for Drama in Avatar: The Way of Water, where Jake moves the family to a community of Reef People Na'vi. Jake's kids already stand out (Reef People are lighter blue and have swimming adaptations like thicker tails and fins), but the fact that they have five fingers gets them called freaks. His son Lo'ak gets in a fight when he demonstrates to a bully that he can do something special with those five fingers... namely, deck him in the face. Their five fingers also allows the RDA troops to easily identify Jake's kids. |

Mutants in Endtown tend to have four fingers, which becomes a plot point when it turns out that mutants who were human still think of themselves as having five fingers and have a mental breakdown when they try counting to five.

Played with in Bendy and the Ink Machine: The game has six cartoon characters: Bendy, Boris the Wolf, Alice Angel, Charley, Barley, and Edgar. They all have four fingers in their cartoons. They also all have real-life counterparts by the time the game begins, but only four of the real-life characters have four fingers on each hand. Averted by the real-life versions of the fallen angel, "Alice," who have five fingers on their hands. Partly defied by the Ink Demon, "Bendy," in that one hand has five fingers, human proportions, and no glove; and the other hand has four fingers, is larger than the first hand, and wears the usual cartoony White Gloves. The game also has Sammy Lawrence having four fingers, even though he was originally human. This is an effect The Ink had on him. There are also three- and four-fingered handprints among the many in the area with the boarded-up doorway that says "NOT MONSTERS" in Chapter 5. |

The Flintstones characters go one step further by having four-fingered hands, and three-toed feet. Though in "Dripper" a close-up of Fred's new "brake pads" show four toes. In the spin-off series Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, the title characters have four fingers and toes. |

Traveller: The Aslan have four digits per hand, and count in base eight. (Their leadership is called the "Tlaukhu", translated as "Twenty-Nine"; it's more literally three eights and five.) "Toons" has been mentioned as a derogatory nickname for them, because of the four-fingered hands association. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Amazingly, both Bowser and Yoshi have four fingers. While the former is supposed to be a villain, one would wonder why a cute little dinosaur like Yoshi have four fingers instead of five like other fictional Japanese heroes. The Mario Bros. and Peach in Hotel Mario. The official versions of those characters have five fingers. The Toads sometimes had four fingered hands, although the modern design of them have five fingered baby-like hands now. The cat suit only has four fingers on its glove, despite the heroes wearing it over their hands. |

The Incredible Hulk: The Hulk has had an ever-changing number of toes. When he first appeared, he had five toes. When his book was cancelled and he resurfaced in Fantastic Four, he now had three. When he joined the Avengers, he then had four, but went back to three by the second issue, only for this number to vary wildly in each subsequent appearance before the artists finally settled on five in Tales to Astonish. This was the subject in a Mythology Gag in Ultron Forever, where the Hulk transported from the past still had three toes. | |

And Bugs Bunny's feet have three dots on the bottom, two small and one large, suggesting pads like on a dog's paw. This doesn't match the number of pads a three-toed mammal ought to have: one per toe, plus a bigger pad for the sole. To make matters worse, real rabbits' paws don't have pads at all. | |

Happens even in literature! In Animorphs, when Rachel morphed into a cat and scratches someone, she notes that it left "three red lines" on the back of his hand. Also, ankles "reversed" when morphing anything four-footed. Applegate, a grown sci-fi author, apparently don't know about digitigrade and plantigrade feet, although the morphing process is stated to change the body at random. | |

The Ratchet & Clank games have an interesting subversion. Ratchet and any Girl of the Week characters will have five fingers. Everyone else, no matter the species, has only three. The official reason for this is because Insomniac wanted to avoid any Four Is Death connotations when they shipped the game to Japan, thus everyone who was originally intended to have four-fingered hands instead has three. This includes Captain Qwark, who otherwise looks human. | |

Many Pokémon with feet will usually have less digits than their upper limbs (barring wings, fins, claws, scythes and tentacles). The best example is Pikachu, who has five tiny digits on each "hand" and three digits on each foot. Other examples include Clefairy, Cubone and Marowak, Rhyperior and Hitmonlee and Conkeldurr. Although, the reverse is also true, especially for Kyurem (in normal form), Bagon, Raichu, Anpharos, Growlithe and Chansey. Averted with Infernape, who actually have 5 toes on each foot. | |

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles take this a step further — each of the turtles has only three fingers on each hand, and only TWO toes on each foot. Lampshaded in the 2003 series when Raph rates Leo's performance of a kick. | |

X-Men's Nightcrawler, has three-fingered hands and feet. The X-Men: Evolution version of Nightcrawler has some kind of holographic disguise that makes him look like a factory-standard human. Whenever he's in disguise, his fingers stick together in a Vulcan-salute formation. So does his Alternate Universe daughter, Nocturne. Also Longshot, though it's due to his alien/technomagical origins. | |

Oddly enough, in Psychonauts, some characters have four fingers whereas other characters have the normal five. To further confusion, certain characters (such as Dr. Loboto) have more joints on each finger than their compatriots. Tim Schafer and Scott Campbell both, whether jokingly or not, refer to this "debacle" as the reason why the game never got released in Japan in the Psychonauts Vault Viewer app commentary. | |

Laserbeak, when disguised as a pink Bumblebee, also has thesenote his normal form has wings, and thus, no fingers. There are several other characters either have three fingers (Sideswipe, Blackout/Grindor and Brawl, to name a few) or more than five (Starscream and The Fallen, who have six and eight, respectively). |

Warhammer 40,000: The Tau and Kroot only have four digits a hand. The fluff has the Tau logically using a base eight system. The Orks, on the other hand (or possibly paw), have five fingers but use base six numbering. Which actually makes a certain amount of sense if you use the other hand for the second digit. Of course, this being Warhammer 40000 it all started as a joke on the theme of Orks being too stupid to count higher, to the point where they had specialist mutations (like Mekboyz and Doks) called "sumboyz" who were effectively Orky accountants because they knew the numbers that came after "lotz". |

On the other (ahem) hand, the elves, preservers and trolls of ElfQuest are not four-fingered representations of five-fingered characters. They really do have only four fingers on each hand. After a few issues, the authors realized that they should logically count in base-eight, and the elves are retconned to do exactly that; Cutter gets the slightly less catchy title of "Blood-Of-Eight-And-Two-Chiefs". Which makes no sense, given that 'base eight' does not mean 'only eight numbers' ('base-six' goes 'one two three four five ten', so base eight would be 'one two three four five six seven ten'). Lampshaded at least once: Cutter, attacked by a human, proposes to rectify the man's problem of an overpopulated hand as he cuts off one of his fingers. Much later in the series, a culture of elf-worshipping humans amputated the little fingers and surgically altered the ears of their ruling elite, believing this could make them immortal. |

Dragon Ball: Piccolo and other Namekians have four-fingered hands in the manga. This is lampshaded when declares that he'll finish Goku off in 5 seconds and holds up a hand with five fingers, which the author points out with text beneath the panel. For the anime, this was changed to five due to Japanese broadcast regulations, for the given reasons above. Other characters such as the humanoid animals or aliens also have different numbers of fingers. The author constantly mistakes the numbers of fingers on these characters. A good example is Kyui, who has five fingers in some panels and four in others. Majin Buu: In the manga, he has two stubby fingers and a similar thumb in his Super Buu form, four-fingered, somewhat stubby hands after absorbing the aforementioned Piccolo and Gotenks, the standard five-fingered hands at his most humanoid after absorbing Gohan, AND a mitten-like hand with a lone thumb and stubby finger as Kid Buu. In the anime, however, he has standard five-fingered hands in all instances. Like Piccolo, this is because of broadcast regulations. Frieza's henchman Sorbet has three fingers and a thumb in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' and his brief appearance in the Dragon Ball Super manga, but has five fingers in the Dragon Ball Super TV anime. |

Abu and the Genie have four-fingered hands while the rest of the human cast of Aladdin has five... except for the merchant who narrates the opening. Originally, he was supposed to be revealed as Genie at the end of the film, and while that was left off the final cut, the design remained. This was sort of lampshaded in the Aladdin: The Series episode "Eye of the Beholder", in which Genie tries to place his hand onto a handprint on a door to opening, but because said print has five fingers, Genie magically conjures up a fifth one. In the original film, when Genie is telling Aladdin about the genie rules and limits on wishes, he briefly conjures an extra four fingers on his left hand, bringing that hands total count to eight. Interestingly, Jafar still has five fingers in genie form, and Eden, a female genie in the series, has five. | |

Dragon Quest: Dragon Quest II: Atlas's design has four-fingered hands and three-fingered feet. Dragon Quest III: Zoma's original artwork and sprites show him with only four fingers on each hand, subtly emphasizing how inhuman he is despite otherwise looking more human-like overall than Baramos. Later remakes and cameos would give him a full five fingers. |

In Homestar Runner, most characters with visible fingers only have four of them (or less), including Strong Sad and the Poopsmith. Strong Mad is a notable exception, as he has five-fingered hands in all but one instance (sbemail 86), where he has four fingers in one scene due to an animation error. | |

This is Lampshaded when King has a simple test to see if Marion the squirrel is really a transformed human. He asks the squirrel to hold up five fingers, and Marion automatically raises one hand, then realises that's only four. | |
