History Trivia / YumeNikki

* ReclusiveArtist: Little is known about Kikiyama. They have made no other games aside from ''Yume Nikki'', never done any interviews or publicity, and everything about their real-world identity is a complete mystery, and when referring to themselves, they use deliberately gender-neutral language [[note]]In one confirmed email, they did use feminine pronouns, which led some fans to presume they're female or, otherwise, formerly identified as such.[[/note]]. They do have an email address, which Japanese-speaking fans have been able to wriggle a laconic response out of once in a blue moon, but otherwise, they've not said not a peep since 2008. This has continued even ''after'' official merchandise and adaptations began to be produced in 2013. In 2023, while Creator/TobyFox found them for an [[https://chartcarr.neocities.org/secretbase_4 interview]], all their questions were just answered with yes, no, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Rice Casserole with 3 Types of Cheese and Shrimp.]]
