The animation begins with a still of a crudely drawn boy sitting on a patch of grass looking at the sky. Two lines of Chinese text appear letter by letter that read, "''是否已經很久..... 沒仔細看看天空.....''", translating to "''How long haven't you..... Taken a look at the sky and daydreamed.....''" The view then changes and shows the boy walking down what appears to be a city street lined with simple buildings with two more lines of text displayed saying "''走在街上.......... 你看到.......''", translating to "''Walking down the street.......... You see.......''" Then, a flashing picture of a ghastly being with white eyes and an open mouth pops up accompanied by a loud scream (see Trivia in the first section). After the screamer, the yellow text "'''<font color="yellow">Kikia</font>'''" appears, thus ending the flash animation. | The animation begins with a still of a crudely drawn boy sitting on a patch of grass looking at the sky.

==Variations== | |||
''Kikia'' has also been parodied by many internet users, mainly from Newgrounds to Scratch. | |||
In 2002, [[Newgrounds]] user BurritoClock uploaded the first and earliest parody of ''Kikia'' titled "[[Clockkia]]" showcasing a Radish Clock seated on a plain hill. The [[[animation]] then presents RaspberryClock strolling down the street with his companion, Burrito Clock. In the following scene, a close-up of Strawberry Clock appears, with the same scream as in the original ''Kikia''. After that, the animation displays the word "ClockKia" in yellow text.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=kUu-L6maHDo</ref> The animation is based on Clock Crew, an internet community that had been recognized in the early days of Newgrounds. | |||
On November 24, 2007, user SarahhhhSANTI uploaded the first [[YouTube]] parody of ''Kikia'' to the platform, titled "Caroline Kikia." It features two crudely drawn pictures of a stick figure going on a picnic with a girl singing in the background. At this moment, an image of the girl screaming appears.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=QMG-JuEcwFM</ref> Unfortunately, this version is currently lost. | |||
''Kikia'' parodies would found their way to another platform, [[Scratch]]. One instance is Jigglykia, a Scratch animation that starts off by portraying the Pokémon character [[wikipedia:JigglyPuff|''JigglyPuff'']], seated on a lawn and looking at the sky, accompanied by the text "take a lay down, and forget your worries." It then shifts to a frame of Jigglypuff strolling down the street, followed by an image of a poorly drawn monster with a wide-open mouth, accompanied by a loud echoing scream. The animation concludes by displaying the title.<ref>scratch.mit.edu/projects/306051848</ref> | |||
Another Scratch animation employing the sample of ''Kikia,'' titled "Blue's Clues: If you are mad," transitions to Blue from the 1996 Nick Jr. show [[wikipedia:Blue's Clues|''Blue's Clues'']] on a gray rock with the text saying, "Take a lay down and forget your worries." Subsequently, it shifts to Blue on a street with the text saying, "Or take a stroll down the street." However, it then transitions to a Roblox character, accompanied by a loud scream used in [[Liquid Generation]], before concluding with the traditional Liquid Generation sabotage jingle.<ref>scratch.mit.edu/projects/358833845</ref><ref>web.archive.org/web/20230505145609/files.catbox.moe/uk3lo6.sb3</ref> | |||

*It is unknown what "Kikia" means.

*Some alternative versions replace the screamer with internet memes at the end, For example; The screamer was replaced with [[wikipedia:Rick Astley|Rick Astley]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Never Gonna Give You Up], and the catchphrase "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" from ''[[wikipedia:Monty Python's Flying Circus|Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' (season 2) episode ''[[wikipedia:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)|The Spanish Inquisition]]'', instead of ''Fatal Frame''. | *Some alternative versions replace the screamer with internet memes at the end, For example; The screamer was replaced with [[wikipedia:Rick Astley|Rick Astley]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Never Gonna Give You Up], and the catchphrase "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" from ''[[wikipedia:Monty Python's Flying Circus|Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' (season 2) episode ''[[wikipedia:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)|The Spanish Inquisition]]'', instead of ''Fatal Frame''. | ||
