Kaotan

Kaotan is a romanized proper noun that can refer to more than one subject in East Asian media and online culture. It does not correspond to a single widely recognized entity, but rather to several different people, characters, or uses that share the same spelling in Latin script. Because of this, the exact referent of kaotan depends on the context in which it appears.

In online communities, kaotan commonly appears as a personal handle or nickname for individuals, particularly in Chinese-language streaming, video sharing, and fan forums. The identity, activities, and affiliations of people using this handle are diverse and not connected in any formal sense.

Linguistically, kaotan is a phonetic rendering that may derive from Mandarin syllables or from other linguistic sources and does not have a universal character representation. Without accompanying Chinese characters, its meaning is ambiguous and varies by user.

In fiction and fan content, kaotan may be used as a character name or alias by authors. Such usages are typically unofficial and context-specific.
