Totakeke (ticker: TOTAKEKE) is a meme token rooted in the Cheems universe, often branded as “Dark Cheems” — the twin or younger brother of the legendary Shiba meme. As of mid-2025, there are two distinct Totakeke tokens sharing the same symbol and lore but living on different chains. This dual presence has caused understandable confusion, so let’s clarify what’s what, how the narratives differ, and where and how to trade safely.

Meme identity in a nutshell
Totakeke leans into the “noir arc” of Cheems — not angry, not sad, just eternally resigned — fitting into the 2025 “black Shibas” meta. The name “Totakeke” also nods to K.K. Slider from Nintendo’s Animal Crossing, whose Japanese nickname Totakeke references composer Kazumi Totaka. That cross-cultural wink helps expand the meme canvas beyond pure crypto culture.
- Shared lore across chains: “Dark Cheems,” Cheems’ twin/younger brother, continues the Cheems legacy.
- Ethereum version: Positions itself as the original “Dark Cheems” in the noir arc.
- BNB Chain version: Aligns with the BNB ecosystem and interacts with related projects like LordCheems_bsc.
Tokenomics at a glance

Common pitfalls and how to stay safe
- Chain mix-ups: There are two tokens named TOTAKEKE. Verify chain and contract each time.
- Volatility: Rapid 20–2,000% swings are not uncommon for meme tokens. Size positions accordingly.
- Liquidity traps: Thin pools amplify slippage and price impact. Check pool depth and LP locks.
- Data inconsistencies: Price and volume can vary widely by tracker. Compare multiple sources.
- Narrative risk: Meme coins trade on culture and community. Hype fades can be brutal.
Key takeaways
- Totakeke exists on both Ethereum and BNB Chain, with 1B supply on each and overlapping “Dark Cheems” lore.
- The Ethereum token at 0x69a8…1f2 and the BNB Chain token at 0xd743…4444 are different assets; treat them independently.
- Trading is active on Uniswap V2 (ETH) and PancakeSwap v2 (BNB), with additional discovery and analytics on platforms like GMGN.AI.
- Security screenings for the BNB pair look clean, but that’s not a replacement for deep due diligence.
- If you decide to trade, verify the contract, start small, and manage risk tightly.
