Nya Arigato is a cat-style dance meme associated with Leat’eq’s “Tokyo” and the chant often written as “nya ichi ni san, nya arigato.” This template uses the cool-to-cute variation.
The recognizable moment is the change: a composed opening gives way to cat ears, bent-wrist paw gestures and a pink setting. Your photo defines the replacement person; the reference defines the routine and the timed visual effects.
Song background: Universal Music, April 2021“Nya Ichi Ni San Dance” is another way people refer to the song-and-dance meme. Not every video with that name includes this transformation, and the exact remix can differ.
The older dance meme, a fixed-background paw dance and this cat-ear transformation are related, but they are not the same clip.
Universal Music’s April 2021 article dates “Tokyo” to 2018 and describes its international TikTok activity in early 2021. That history does not establish the origin or popularity of every newer edit.
Read the music historyMedia.io has a one-photo Nya Arigato page. Its public demos show paw gestures in a fixed setting, without the cat-ear and pink-background reveal used by this preset.
View that photo-dance exampleThis preset uses a continuous 15-second excerpt from the supplied cool-to-cute performance. The original performer is replaced; the transformation stays part of the routine.
View the source performanceOne photo and a preset routine. No choreography prompt to write.
Use a sharp photo of one adult with the face and clothing visible. A full-body image gives the model more detail for arms, legs and proportions.
Watch the included 15-second excerpt, choose 480P or 720P and check the current total credits before generating.
Check the same face before and after the reveal, the cat-ear effect and the paw gestures. Download the result or return to it in History.
A clear face matters during the reveal. Visible body and clothing details also help the model follow the dance without guessing as much.
The photo and reference have different jobs.
One uploaded person replaces the performer throughout the routine. There are no extra character slots or group-photo assignments to configure.
The prompt requests your face, hair, proportions and base outfit. Cat ears and the pink reveal remain intentional changes from the reference, rather than a new identity.
The selected video supplies the gestures and change timing. The model is not simply asked to invent a dance called Nya Arigato.
Watch the face as hands pass it, then check the ears and wrists after the change. AI generation can still alter details; the example is not a guarantee for every photo.
The total is based on the selected resolution for the 15-second excerpt.
Choose your resolution in the tool. The generation button shows the current credit total before submission.
Your cash cost depends on your plan or credit pack. Starting another generation is a new attempt and consumes additional credits.
Generation uses Wan 3.0 Prime through fal. Technical failures return generation credits automatically; visual imperfections in a completed result are not technical failures. View the model documentation

Explore generatorThe dance meme is associated with Leat’eq’s “Tokyo” and the “nya ichi ni san, nya arigato” chant. Different edits may use a remix or shortened audio; this page does not claim its reference uses the original recording unchanged.
Yes. The included 15-second excerpt contains the cool opening and the change into cat-paw gestures with a pink setting. Preview that clip above: other Nya Arigato templates may keep a fixed background instead.
One clear photo of one adult. A full-body photo helps define clothing and proportions. A tight portrait can be used, but unseen body parts, footwear and rear views must be inferred.
The prompt asks for your identity, hairstyle, body proportions and base clothing from the photo, while retaining the routine’s timed cat-ear and scene effects. This is a generated edit, not an exact frame-by-frame guarantee; hands near the face and fast motion can change details.
This version is 15 seconds in vertical 9:16, with 480P and 720P options. The tool shows the current total credits for your settings before submission. The cash value of those credits depends on your plan or credit pack.
This page is configured for one adult human character. Pet anatomy and illustrated characters have not been validated for this transformation, so they are not offered as tested options.
The finished video uses the selected reference’s audio; display previews are silent. It does not clone your voice. Generating a video does not grant music or source-footage rights for commercial use.
Technical failures automatically return generation credits. A completed video with imperfect likeness or movement is not a technical failure. If you choose to make another version, it is a separate paid attempt.
No. This fixed template includes both the selected routine and the character-replacement prompt. For a different dance, scene or custom instruction, use AI Character Swap with your own reference instead.
No. This is an independent AI dance tool, not an endorsement or partnership with Leat’eq, the source performer, CapCut or Media.io. Use photos and media you have permission to use, and label realistic AI edits when sharing.
