Our research goal is to discover principles underlying natural communication among individuals. For this purpose we explore human likeness of androids and naturalness of human-android communication through the development of the androids. In this paper, we focus on the android's face and discuss on the human likeness of a face from the viewpoint of the android development. The paper presents essential points to make the android's face humanlike. Moreover, the paper describes a psychological experiment to evaluate the likability of the android's movements, including facial movements (e.g., blinking and eye movement).
