The 'Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan' meme originates from the opening theme of the anime series 'My Deer Friend Nokotan,' produced by Wit Studio. Even before its official 2024 release, the hypnotic, repetitive lyrics and the character Nokotan's bizarre deer-human hybrid nature sparked a massive viral trend across social media platforms like TikTok and X. It is characterized by its 'brain rot' energy, often used to signify an earworm song that refuses to leave one's head or to represent sheer, nonsensical absurdity. Fans use the template to juxtapose the cheerful, chaotic dance with various relatable life situations, cementing Nokotan as a modern icon of surreal internet humor.
