<p>In Himouto Umaru-chan, Umaru Doma has two distinct "states":</p>

<p>I am wondering how do both English-speaking fans and Japanese-speaking fans call these two "states". Is there an official name given?</p>

<p>From what I observe, when she changes from the "small" state to the "big" state, the text "うまうーん" appears behind her:</p>

<p>So I suspect that the big form is called うまるーん.</p>
