Nipah is closely associated with Rika Furude in Higurashi When They Cry, whose first television anime adaptation aired in 2006. In Japanese performances, Rika is voiced by Yukari Tamura, and the expression became one of the character’s most recognizable vocal mannerisms. Short clips circulated through anime fan videos, remixes, message boards, and reaction posts, helping the phrase outgrow its original scenes. It remains popular because its cheerful delivery instantly signals Rika while also providing an amusing contrast to Higurashi’s horror and mystery themes.
