“Shikanokonokonokokoshitantan” is a whimsical phrase associated with the anime and manga series My Deer Friend Nokotan (also known as Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan).

The series features a deer-girl hybrid named Nokotan and her interactions with Torako Koshi, a high schooler with a delinquent past.

Breakdown of the Phrase:

• Shika no Ko (鹿の子): Translates to “deer child” or “a young deer.”
• Nokonoko (のこのこ): An onomatopoeic expression meaning “walking casually” or “ambling.”
• Koshi tan tan (こしタンタン): Derived from a Japanese phrase meaning “to wait for an opportunity,” often linked to a tiger’s patience as it watches its prey.

Combining these elements, the phrase evokes the image of “a deer kid walking carefree while a tiger waits,” reflecting the contrasting yet complementary personalities of the main characters, Nokotan and Koshitan.
