Chiitan is an unofficial, 'self-declared' mascot for the city of Susaki, Japan, inspired by a real-life otter of the same name. Unlike traditional 'kawaii' mascots, Chiitan became an internet sensation for its high-octane, slapstick, and often dangerous physical comedy, which frequently results in the mascot crashing into objects or failing spectacularly at sports. The meme represents the feeling of pure, unadulterated chaos or the frantic energy of trying to accomplish tasks despite overwhelming obstacles. Since gaining international fame on Twitter and YouTube, Chiitan has become the gold standard for representing a 'mood' of erratic behavior and chaotic neutral energy in digital culture.
