A GIF animation featuring a deformed MEM-cho (CV: Rumi Okubo) making poka-poka-poka tapping motions with her hands has been posted on the official X account of the Oshi No Ko TV anime and is generating buzz.

The post includes the comment "Poka-poka-poka-poka!" The attached GIF animation shows a deformed MEM-cho with small horns on her head, wearing a blue hoodie with a black cat illustration, with her eyes tightly closed and both hands clenched, repeatedly swinging them back and forth in an adorable "poka-poka" tapping motion.
