K.K. Slider

Totakeke, or K. K. Slider, is a white, singing, guitar-playing dog that appears in all three games, Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk. In Animal Crossing, he will sit by the train station, on an orange crate. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, and Animal Crossing: City Folk he sits in the cafe of the Museum from 8pm to midnight on Saturday nights. In all three games he will play a song for the Player. After performances in both games, he'll give the player a copy of his song to play in their home. Listening to one of K. K. Slider's song will role credits, and is the closest thing to the "end" of the game. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, and Animal Crossing: City Folk the player can give a request, and will receive a tape of the song. He also made a guest appearance in the Wii game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, appearing on Saturdays at 8:00 pm in the "Smashville" stage, which is based off of the Animal Crossing series, and sings a song. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he had a trophy and a sticker in the vault. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, he will reappear, and still performs in The Roost at 8pm on Saturdays. He now performs encores, but will not give you a copy of the encore bootleg.

K.K. Song
One of K.K. Slider's songs titled "K.K. Song" is an odd tune that will sound familiar to many players. This is the same tune that Animal Crossing's composer, Kazumi Totaka always manages to sneak into all of the games he composes for as his trademark. In Japanese culture, it is customery to use ones surname before there forename, which would make Kazumi Totaka 'Totaka Kazumi', or Totaka K, which sounds like "Totakeke". This is K.K. Slider's Japanese name, so he could be how Kazumi portrays himself in the game.
