According to the available article preview, an Indonesian teenager known as Noxa created the character in 2025 using OpenAI’s image-generation tool. The character draws on a drum associated with Ramadan traditions in south-east Asia and appears in the online genre known as “Italian brain rot.” The preview says US copyright protection applies only to human creations but provides no details about the legal claims or proceedings.
