idk i have been thinking quite a bit about this but i would like to hear your thoughts as well!

to sum it up if you don’t want to read the long ass paragraph, i think kilik is zambian-senegalese, (specifically lozi-fulani if we are talking about the specific ethnic groups)

kilik is based off and *named after kirikou from kirikou and the sorceress, a movie based off of west african folktale. in an interview the director, michel ocelot stated that he was inspired by the **fulani in senegal.

*kilik is the english transliteration of キリク, which is the japanese transliteration of kirikou.

**michel ocelot was raised in guinea, which has a higher percentage of fulani people, but he specified he was inspired the fulani in senegal specifically for some reason.

rung is the english transliteration of ルング, which is derived from ムルング, shown in italics. ムルング is the japanese transliteration of mulungu, the bantu creator deity. i think it would make the most sense if his last name was lungu, as when derived like the original japanese literation, mulungu. lungu is a lozi last name, mostly found in zambia.

hence this is why i think kilik/kirikou is zambian-senegalese.

imagine if kilik was also a toddler, just like fire and thunder. that would be chaotic yet interesting…

joined resbang and hoping that someone is writing about kilik….

[livelaughloveleorio]

the fact that i have to dig through random people’s blogs to find kilik posts is INSANE AND THE FACT THE THAT IT DOESN’T SHOW UP IN THE TAGS!!! THERE IS NOTHING I WOULD WANT MORE THAN SCROLLING ENDLESSLY THROUGH KILIK POSTS!!!

also i have always wanted to call him kirikou instead of kilik but practically everyone calls him kilik which doesn’t make sense!!! HIS NAME IS NOT KILIK but i will call him kilik anyway because everyone else does that….

i want to draw female kilik rung as a tribute to the lust chapter but i don’t mean any transphobia so if i do that i hope you understand my intentions

(or maybe i shouldn’t do that)

what are your thoughts
