Kikiyama is the enigmatic creator of Yume Nikki.
Very little can be said about them, due to the scarcity of information regarding their identity and location. Due to the long period of time since its last version release, the original version of Yume Nikki is not expected to be updated ever again. Their website was last updated on February 6th, 2018, with the only addition being the YUMENIKKI –DREAM DIARY– logo on the game page. When clicked on, it takes you to the official webpage for the game. Despite this, the website still states it was last updated on June 30, 2008.
While Kikiyama seemingly gave the permission to Project Yume Nikki, who created merchandise, a web manga and a light novel with different writers and artists, it was nevertheless stated by them that Kikiyama's thoughts about the game do not necessarily align with the ones of Project Yume Nikki. It is just an interpretation of the game by said writers and artists, which is also why manga and light novel strongly differ from each other.
According to the developers of YUMENIKKI –DREAM DIARY–, Kikiyama was directly and actively involved in the creation as a supervisor. All official annoucements related to -DREAM DIARY- refer to Kikiyama with "they" pronouns, which could mean that Kikiyama would like to keep their gender ambiguous and/or has a nonbinary gender identity or is a team of several people.
