K.K. Slider is a popular character from the Animal Crossing franchise. His real name is Totakeke Slider, but is affectionately called K.K. He is a dog, and he closely resembles the Jack Russel terrier breed.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players can expect him to appear every Saturday at 6 pm to take song requests. He will also visit islands when they receive a three star rating. Other than that, he shows up randomly.

Does K.K. Slider have a crush on Isabelle in Animal Crossing?

The rumor going around is that Isabelle and K.K. Slider are romantically interested in each other. The theory is that as a child, K.K. Slider was bullied by Tom Nook. Fitting for the guy who would grow up to be a debt collector. This theory is pretty out there, and it involves some other Nintendo characters, like Blue Yoshi, Mario, Link, Zelda and of course, the two dogs.

According to Vester and Friends Wiki, K.K. Slider was bullied by Tom Nook and his friends until he admitted he had a crush on Isabelle. Once he grew up, he ran into Isabelle again, only to find out she was dating Blue Yoshi. With the help of Link, they try to sabotage the already-deteriorating relationship. Blue Yoshi gets wind of this and begins repairing his relationship with Isabelle. K.K. Slider is heartbroken.
