Peko has become a widely recognised catchphrase in online VTuber and anime fan culture, where a single playful word can carry a whole character moment. Short clips like this spread through reaction videos, streams and short-form edits, because they are easy to recognise, easy to drop into a timeline and instantly signal a cute, mischievous mood. Fans reuse the sound for greetings, jokes and lighthearted teasing, and its popularity has endured because it works without context: even viewers who do not follow the original creator understand the tone at once. That simplicity keeps it in regular rotation for meme makers.
