PIXIV
~~~~~~

Want to find more cyclops waifus? Search pixiv! There's now 750 pages of mono-eyed characters on the site, though R-18esque pictures are about less than a 100.

Use the following terms:

"単眼" - mono-eye

"単眼の日" - first day of the month, which can also be read as 'one-eyed day'. Hence the meme

You can also use "サイクロプス" - which is a literal Japanese transliteration of the English word of cyclops. But you will get much better results by using 単眼 - cyclops pics tagged with "サイクロプス" are mostly done by Western artists.

History
~~~~~~~~

No one is sure how "単眼" became such a thing on pixiv, but cyclopean creatures have been a fixture of Japanese mythology. Consider the following:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitotsume-koz%C5%8D

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitotsume-ny%C5%ABd%C5%8D

These creatures, like the Greek cyclops, most likely owe their existence to the very real birth defect of cyclopia:
