Kirikou is a fictional character created by French director Michel Ocelot in the animated film Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998). Kirikou is a small child living in an imaginary African village. He is very small, naked, and fast. He is known for his kindness and intelligence, which help him bring good things to the people of his village.[1]

Animated Films
- Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998)
