'''KyuuKyuu-kun''' (named after the Japanese onomatopoeia of the rubbing noise, exact spelling varies) is a [[List of characters|non-NPC character]] that can be found in the [[Number World|Stairway]], which can be reached from the [[Number World]]. He is often thought to be an example of [[Theories|phallic]] imagery present in Yume Nikki, as many have speculated that KyuuKyuu-kun resembles an erect penis. Kyuukyuu-kun is accessed by stabbing an unhappy-looking zipper tile with the Knife effect. The zipper tile is located in the southeast corner of the Numbers world, to the right of the door with 0's and 1's in front of it. The zipper tile's expression changes randomly. If it's in the normal state, the player is advised to wake up and return until it changes. Theories regarding Madotsuki's past have arose from the zipper entrance. Some believe that the entrance through the zipper symbolizes rape or molestation. Some also believe that the zipper represents Madotsuki's shame for being transgendered or identifying as a male, due to the subtle phallic imagery. KyuuKyuu-Kun rubs the pole faster if you use the knife effect and slower with the cat effect equipped. Reaction to Kyuukyuu-kun is varied; some players find him adorable and others find him unnerving. It's as if he is wearing a mask, has a fake face, or he is too busy and perfectly happy with his pole to notice anything else.

The tile that must be stabbed to gain access to the stairway.

KyuuKyuu-kun (キュッキュ君, キュッキュくん, Kyukkyu-kun, named after the Japanese onomatopoeia of the rubbing noise, exact spelling varies) is an NPC that can be found next to the stairway area, reached from the Number World.

Kyuukyuu-kun is a tall, constantly smiling worm-like creature whose two black eyes have googly red pupils. Its body is multi-coloured, with red being the dominant colour. It is shown with a small arm that slightly rubs up and down the handrail of the stairs.

They can be accessed by stabbing an unhappy-looking Zippertile with the Knife effect. This method of entering The Stairway and the fact that the FACE event occurs when progressing further creates a certain discord with Kyuukyuu-kun being a smiling character.

KyuuKyuu-Kun rubs the pole faster if you equip the Knife effect, similarly to how other NPCs flee or move around when you equip the Knife. It also stops rubbing the handrail when you use the Stoplight on red.
