PIKOTARO

Piko-Taro's viral hit "PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen)" emerged as a comedic sensation in late 2016, garnering millions of online views and nearly six million streams. Created by Japanese comedian Kazuhito Kosaka, also known as Daimaou Kosaka, the infectious song reached the Billboard Hot 100, charting as the shortest song ever to do so. With a nod from Justin Bieber and comparisons to "Gangnam Style" and Weird Al, "PPAP" captivated global audiences with its catchy charm and quirky dance routine. Kosaka's alter ego, Piko-Taro, brought the two-minute extended version of the song to life, solidifying its status as a pop culture phenomenon in multiple countries.
