Who is CHIIKAWA?

Chiikawa is the main protagonist of the Japanese manga and anime series “Chiikawa” or “Nanka Chiisakute Kawaii Yatsu”. Their name is derived from the Japanese title meaning “Something Small and Cute.”

They are creatures of unspecified species or gender that’s small, cute, and easily moved to tears. They also express themselves through sounds, and they often say “Yada” or “Iyada,” a childish way of saying “no” in Japanese. Their best friends are Hachiware, a bicolor cat, and Usagi, a rabbit.
