He is a musician who plays music in the coffee shop (in ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Wild World}}'') or the Train Station (in the [[nookipedia: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.

He is based on [[Kazumi Totaka]], who is also called "Totakeke", and plays the guitar.
