'''K.K. Slider''' (real name: '''Totakeke''') is a character in the ''[[Animal Crossing (universe)|Animal Crossing]]'' video games. He is a musician who plays music in the coffee shop (in ''[[Animal Crossing: Wild World]]'') or the Train Station (in the [[Animal Crossing|original game]]) every Saturday night, from 8:00 PM to midnight. After players listen to K.K.'s music, he hands out a tape recording, which they can play on a radio back at their house. Requesting "K.K. Song" between 8pm and midnight on Saturday nights will lead to the known tune [[Totaka's Song]] being played. His cameo appearance was in Yusef Hamed's song "K.K. Story".

OriginEdit

K.K. Slider is a special character who can be found in all of the Animal Crossing games since the original, performing on Saturday from 8:00 PM (or all day, albeit will not take any song requests until 6:00 PM in Animal Crossing: New Horizons) to midnight at different locations depending on the game (such as the Train Station, The Roost, Club LOL, or Resident Services). If the player speaks to him, he will play them a song and then give them a recording (or aircheck) of that song that they can play via a stereo at their house. On non-Saturday nights in New Leaf and on the archipelago on some nights in the Happy Home Paradise DLC for New Horizons, he plays under the guise of "DJ KK" (who appears as a trophy in SSB4 and a spirit in SSBU). Super Smash Bros. takes from his performances in other games and has him only show up on Saturday nights.
