It called Karicat, an avatar creator in the same kind of mii avatar on wii. So, Currently There are no many sprite (Thanks to Eugene for all)!

That is very sweet, I'm pretty sure lots of kids find this amusing!

Nice - this is something I've had in my mind for a while. It would be nice if
1. you could easily set it as your profile picture (for kdm etc.) and
2. eyes, faces etc. can be downloaded using GHNS.

By the way, I can't figure out what that name (Karicat) is supposed to mean. Personally I would prefer an "easier" name, such as "Mii" for Wii (easy to pronounce (even for non-native speakers), easy to remember).

I was just thinking the same as Hans - you could use those great as:
* users' profile pictures
* caricatures of people e.g. in your addressbook (used by Kopete, KMail, KAddressbook etc.) or even outside for forums, OpenDesktop and SematicDesktop etc.

@Hans: Karicat is probably a word play on Caricature. I agree though that it's not the most nice sounding name.

We obviously cannot use Mii, but we do need something that has a nice ring to it. CareCat? Catty? Avatar? Ave? Avvy? Footoo(Foo + foto)? Mytar (My avatar)? Mootar (hehe)? Meemo (that one's taken)? Moomee? Meetoo?

P.S. I couldn't log in using OpenID O_o

I m agree with the name... We have to change it... More idea please :

konki, kii, kiwi, mike, miki..... ?

What do you think about "Kit"? It's short, it has the essential "k" ;), and as far as I know, it (the name) can be used both by boys and girls.

You can also see the application as a kind of "kit". :)
