The names "KAIKAI" and "KIKI” are derived from a phrase praising the achievements of KanōEitoku, a renowned painter who represented the pinnacle of Japanese art in the late 16th century. Takashi Murakami was inspired by the skilled collective of the Kanō school, which encouraged him to found his own artist collective in 1996, HIROPON FACTORY, which was later renamed to KaiKai Kiki. The collective has since scaled to new heights, having established several workshops in Japan and abroad, and boosting a number of successful artists, including Aya Takano, Chiho Aoshima, Seonna Hong, and Kazumi Nakamura.
