The tile that must be stabbed to gain access to the stairway.

KyuuKyuu-kun (キュッキュ君, キュッキュくん, Kyukkyu-kun, named after the Japanese onomatopoeia for a squeaking noise when rubbing, exact spelling varies) is a decorative character that can be found in the Stairway area of Number World.

Overview

KyuuKyuu-kun is a tall, colorful, worm-like creature who has two black eyes with red strabismic pupils. It wears a constant smile and rubs the railing of the nearby stairway with a single arm. They can be accessed after stabbing an unhappy-looking Zippertile that has a chance to appear in Number World. This method of entering the Stairway and the fact that the FACE event occurs when progressing further creates a certain discord with Kyuukyuu-kun being a smiling character.

While KyuuKyuu-kun normally rubs the railing at a steady pace, equipping the Knife effect will make it rub faster, similar to how other NPCs flee or move around frantically when the same effect is equipped near them. They can also be stopped completely using the Spotlight effect, or briefly by repeatedly jiggling with the Buyo Buyo effect or creating thunder with the Demon effect. Additionally, repeatedly walking on the stairs they are near will make them stop as long as Madotsuki moves.

Trivia

According to a thumbs.db file in version 0.08, KyuuKyuu was originally green or at least had a green variant.

Theories

KyuuKyuu-kun's strange disposition has led to much speculation about it. Most fans consider KyuuKyuu-kun to be phallic imagery due to its shape, and the fact a zipper must be opened to see them (which can be interpreted as a pants fly). Their constant rubbing, creepy smile, and location near the horrifying FACE event have led to heavy speculation involving the possibility of a traumatic event that Madotsuki underwent.

-'''KyuuKyuu-kun''' (named after the Japanese onomatopoeia of the rubbing noise, exact spelling varies) is a [[List of characters|non-NPC character]] that can be found in the [[Number World|Stairway]], which can be reached from the [[Number World]]. He is often thought to be an example of [[Theories|phallic]] imagery present in Yume Nikki, as many have speculated that KyuuKyuu-kun resembles an erect penis. Kyuukyuu-kun is accessed by stabbing an unhappy-looking zipper tile with the Knife effect. The zipper tile is located in the southeast corner of the Numbers world, to the right of the door with 0's and 1's in front of it. The zipper tile's expression changes randomly. If it's in the normal state, the player is advised to wake up and return until it changes. Theories regarding Madotsuki's past have arose from the zipper entrance. Some believe that the entrance through the zipper symbolizes rape or molestation. Some also believe that the zipper represents Madotsuki's shame for being transgendered or identifying as a male, due to the subtle phallic imagery. KyuuKyuu-Kun rubs the pole faster if you use the knife effect and slower with the cat effect equipped. Reaction to Kyuukyuu-kun is varied; some players find him adorable and others find him unnerving. It's as if he is wearing a mask, has a fake face, or he is too busy and perfectly happy with his pole to notice anything else. Some fans believe that he may be the rapist of Madotsuki. As with using the Knife effect, he goes faster; it is common in rape: when the victim tries to escape, rapist will get more aggressive, akin to going "faster", just as KyuuKyuu does.
