“Hang in there, kiddo.”
― Picture quote, Wild World

Kiki (キャビア, Kyabia^?, Caviar) is a normal cat villager which has appeared in every Animal Crossing series game. Her name may come from Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service, an anime film about a young witch-in-training named Kiki who has a black cat, named Jiji. Her Japanese name refers to caviar, a fish egg delicacy that cats love. She has the education hobby.

Kiki may be a reference to the black cat, or it may come from the sound produced when saying "kittykitty" fast. Her quote on her picture in Wild World probably comes from the popular motivational poster of a cat hanging from a tree and saying "Hang in there." Her New Leaf picture quote is akin to K.K. Slider's.
