Character[]
Kikaka is a mysterious robot who falls from the sky and scares away an Andromedian Husky that chases after Zeroro. Kikaka introduces himself by uttering "Kika ka".
Story[]
An artificially made Keronian which befriended Zeroro/Dororo and soon after Keroro, Giroro & Pururu during their childhood and having a few adventures with them, such as scaring away some bullies. The bullies then mistake Kikaka for the escaped biotech weapon that the army's been searching for and plan to turn him in. While Kikaka is inside the secret base, Giroro mentions that there are people are trying to capture Kikaka until the real weapon (a more modern Kiruru) shows itself and Kikaka wards it off. Unfortunately, Kikaka then transforms into its true form, a simple doll (it is hinted that Kikaka was one of the first few tests of a much younger Kururu's Nanola).

He also has two navy blue antennas on his head and polygonal lines all over his body where he equip his weapons such from his head, arms, and from his body.

- Kikaka has a small homage to Kikaider, the titular character, whom also an android (Kikaka being an android Keronian) with their names being based on the Japanese word "Kikai" (機械), meaning "machine".
