![]() ![]() ![]() On January 30, 2011, a user named "Momomomo" uploaded a cover of "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!" featuring the UTAU voice Momone Momo. The song was later included in the rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F, released by Sega in August 2012. The Japanese word nyan is onomatopoeic, imitating the call of a cat (equivalent to English "meow"). The song features the Vocaloid virtual singer Hatsune Miku. The original version of the song "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!" was uploaded by user "daniwell" to the Japanese video site Nico Nico Douga on July 25, 2010. The design of Nyan Cat was influenced by Torres' pet cat Marty, who died in November 2012 from feline infectious peritonitis. ![]() Torres explained in an interview where the idea for the animation came from: "I was doing a donation drive for the Red Cross and in-between drawings in my Livestream video chat, two different people mentioned I should draw a 'Pop Tart' and a 'cat'." In response, he created a hybrid image of a Pop-Tart and a cat, which was developed a few days later into the animated GIF. On April 2, 2011, the GIF animation of the soon to become the meme Nyan Cat was posted by 25-year-old Christopher Torres of Dallas, Texas, who uses the name "prguitarman", on his website LOL-Comics. The video ranked at number 5 on the list of most viewed YouTube videos in 2011. The video merged a Japanese pop song, sung by UTAUloid Momone Momo (original sung by Hatsune Miku), with an animated cartoon cat with a Pop-Tart for a torso, flying through space, and leaving a rainbow trail behind it. Nyan Cat is the name of a YouTube video uploaded in April 2011, which became an internet meme. ![]()
