Tuturuu comes from Steins;Gate, where Mayuri Shiina uses it as her signature greeting throughout the story. The phrase first appeared in the 2009 visual novel and became widely known through the 2011 anime adaptation, where Mayuri's cheerful delivery made it instantly recognisable. Fans began reusing the short greeting in anime reaction edits, fan videos and meme compilations, often as a cute interruption or a wholesome punchline. Its brevity, melody and association with Mayuri have kept it popular with anime fans long after the series aired.
