Abstract: An image processing apparatus including image creation means (S14) for creating an animated image of a character in accordance with shape data of the character (S11) shifting with a predetermined motion in a virtual space, motion data (S12) indicating the predetermined action, and shift amount data (S13) of a shift amount for each of the predetermined actions of the character, and reproduction/display means (S16) for displaying the animated images of the characters on display means. The characters have shapes different in size. The motion data is common to all the characters. The shift amount data is set to a shift amount proportional to the character size. The reproduction/display means changes the reproduction speed (S15) of the animated image of the character created by the image creation means, in accordance with the shift amount data of the character.
