MAKIchan Graphics (also spelled Maki-chan) is a family of raster graphics formats that were used mainly in Japan. It may be associated with MSX computers. It's been accused of having an overly-complex compression scheme. The most common subformat is known as MAG.
It is also spelled MAGIchan, though that might be a typo.
