"Eekum bokum" is associated online with VTuber Inugami Korone and Banjo-Kazooie, where the phrase appears as part of the game's Mumbo Jumbo dialogue. Korone's delivery helped turn it into a widely shared reaction clip in VTuber and anime meme circles. The sound spread through short edits, compilations and reposts because it is instantly recognizable, brief and absurd. It is still used when creators want a cute but chaotic punchline, much like other anime-adjacent reaction sounds such as Tuturu.
