My Dunmeshi theory about Kaka and Kiki’s original name

Apparently nobody on Tumblr share this opinion about this dunmeshi lore with me, at least as far as I’ve searched, so I’m making this post. My apologies for the post being long and me overexplaining, I’m not sure if my poorly written sentences can convey what I mean so I had to be extra sure.

This post contains Daydream Hours spoiler

So I want to talk about this. About their names.

Learning that Kaka and Kiki were originally named Kakakaka and Kikikiki made me feel very, very sorry for them. At least when I (a Japanese person) showed the Japanese version of the pic to my friends, they understood why I felt that way without being explained. Also I googled and found people with the same opinion, so I guess my opinion is somewhat shared among the readers in my country.

So let me explain.

If you’ve played a role playing game (RPG) or something similar, you might know how you sometimes create an unwanted, “disposable” character.

You create a new character, you rob them of the default clothing and weapon they’ve got in order to sell and make money.

When you’re done, you “delete”them by put them back to the “storage” and ignoring them forever. Like, if you’ve played BotW, you store your unneeded horses in whatever it is called in English, right? That’s what I mean by “storage”.

In Japanese RPG games, a tavern typically plays the role of the “storage”. You let the character wait for you at a tavern and leave forever. I’m writing this mainly thinking about Dragon Quest (a Japanese RPG), so I don’t know if this is a universal thing. I’ll edit this part if something is unclear.

By the way, when playing older Japanese games, you often don’t get to name your characters as freely as you want. Your names should be in hiragana and 4 letters maximum.

So for example, if your name was らいおす (Raiosu/Laios) or まるしる (Marushiru/Marcille) you get to name your characters after you as there are 4 hiraganas, but if you’re ちるちゃっく (Chiruchakku/Chilchuck) you have to shorten your name to ちる (Chiru/Chil) or something so that your name consists of 4 or less hiraganas.

Back to the unwanted characters. You have to name them. But you obviously don’t want to think hard about the name of a disposable character, right?

At least Japanese players didn’t. They smashed the hiragana keyboard, and were often too lazy to move their fingers while doing so.

So typically, the character would end up with a name consisting of 4 identical hiraganas. For example, the most typical one is ああああ (Aaaa) as あ is one of the easiest keys to select with a console. か (ka) and き (ki) were fairly easy to select too.

The twins’ original names, かかかか(Kakakaka) and きききき (Kikikiki), strongly reminded me of this.

The twins were given no-brainer 4-same-hiragana names and abandoned in a tavern, being told to wait for their company which will never return for them, like many disposable characters did. At least in my headcanon, their relatives clearly didn’t want them.

I would be so popular if I were an anime boy. People would make posts about putting me in a blender all the time. They'd call me sopping wet and say I was born in a cardboard box all alone

Cecil Palmer could do TMA but Jon Sims could not do WTNV. Cecil has no fucking curiosity, as the Archivist he would read all the statements and go “golly, these sure are fun :)” then find out about the Fears and kill Elias in three days. Jon in Night Vale would be fired and eaten day 1
