What is the “Kappa” emote on Twitch?
Kappa, also known as “troll”, is a meme generally used to express irony or accentuate a sarcastic reaction; or just react to something funny the Twitch streamer shares. Kappa is represented by a black and white image of a slightly smiling man.

A sentence ending with Kappa should not be taken seriously. For example, “ Woops you missed an AK on the floor “ Kappa ”.

What is the origin of this Kappa Twitch emote?
The Kappa emote was created in 2011. It was obtained from the photo of Josh DeSeno who was an employee of Justin.TV (a sister company of Twitch.tv, closed in 2014), at the time. Since then, Kappa has even become Twitch’s unofficial mascot, given the popularity it has gained over the years.

Early in his Justin.TV career, Josh DeSeno worked on the creative side of the box’s original chat. Then he added his own photo as an emote, as many Justin.TV employees did. According to him, his emote would have become popular very quickly and this is possibly due to the name which is characterized by a fun and easy to type name.

The choice of the name “Kappa” would come from DeSeno’s passion for Japanese culture. A kappa is a creature that is part of Japanese folklore and whose mission is to lure people to lakes and drown them.
