The troupe was the last act of the final night of AGT auditions, with one of the Chibi Unity members explaining why they decided to come on the show.
"When we saw The Mayyas, the champion of AGT last year, we thought we have to get on the stage of AGT," they said through an interpreter.
The group - who were all in gray sweats - performed an incredible routine to Cleopatrick’s Hometown.
Howie said that the dancing in season 18 has been incredible, but that Chibi Unity brought it to another level.

"I would love to see a show of an hour of you in Las Vegas," he said.
Heidi declared that she loved the "unexpected" and "dynamic," performance and Sofia added: "It was the best dancing I've ever seen in my life."
All of the judges combined with Terry hit the group Golden Buzzer for Chibi Unity, who will go straight to the live shows.
While many viewers praised the decision, some claimed the dance act was "messy" and accused the judges of "wasting" their Buzzer.

One wrote on Instagram: "Makes no sense. It was horrible. It was such a messy choreography, they were not in sync, awful music and ugly outfits.
"It really didn’t deserve the golden buzzer. We have seen much better dancing on that show."
Another added: "I didn't like it and I don't understand why the audience seemed to be losing their minds over it.
"There have been much better dance performances. Definitely not golden buzzer worthy."
A third posted: "Typical.... of course it's another dance crew getting a buzzer."
"Such a waste letting them get the buzzer I don't get it," yet another user remarked.
GOLDEN BUZZER GANG
Chibi Unity has joined The Mzansi Youth Choir, who got the first ever Extra Golden Buzzer with the help of fans, as Buzzer winners.
Other Golden Buzzer choices include singer Putri Ariani (Simon), Chioma and The Atlanta Drum Academy (Terry), Murmuration (Howie), Lavendar Darcangelo (Heidi) and Gabriel Henrique (Sofia).
