Now Viewing: kyary_pamyu_pamyuTag type: Character (きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ) A popular female singer/model/fashionista born on January 29, 1993. Her real name is Takemura Kiriko (竹村 桐子) but she goes by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu as her stage name. The name comes from a nickname her friend gave her. Her friend had called her Kyary, a Japanese phonetic pronunciation of Carrie, because she thought Kyary acted like a foreigner, due to her fondness of wearing blonde wigs and interest in Western culture, even though she grew up in Japan. Kyary later added Pamyu Pamyu to her stage name because she felt Kyary was too short for a stage name and because she felt Pamyu Pamyu made her sound cuter. She is famous for her cute and eccentric stage persona. She has a strong interest in fashion, particularly Harajuku fashion trends, which has also influenced her music career. She started off as a fashion blogger and became a model for Harajuku fashion magazines. She produced a brand of fake eyelashes called Harajuku Doll. She then transitioned into a musical career and made her musical breakthrough with the song and music video Ponponpon. Her songs are often upbeat, cheerful, cute, and are well known for being paired with extremely surreal music videos. Although cuteness is a big part of her image, she states she is a fan of grotesque things as well and she intentionally adds creepy things in her videos in order to balance out the cuteness. She dresses in a wide variety of colorful and outlandish outfits. She also often changes hairstyles and colors. She is also a fan of anime/manga and loves Crayon Shin-chan in particular. One of her songs, Kimi ni 100 Percent, was used as an opening. She also played herself in the series. She frequently works with record producer/musician Nakata Yasutaka, who is a member of the electronic duo capsule and composes much of Kyary's songs. Kyary has also done a cover of one of Nakata's capsule songs, "Jelly."
