It originated from the Korean NIKKE forums but quickly spread to other communities such as Blue Archive, Honkai: Star Rail, and Hololive. The meme also gained attention from the developers themselves, Shift Up with the CEO, Kim Hyung Tae and his wife KKUEM are seen holding a Santa-esque Doro plush alongside Shuhei Yoshida. The 2024 April Fools event for the game also features Matis in the form of Doro as Syuen's burst skill. The game's developers officially acknowledged the meme during the 2025 April Fools event where they hosted a joke award show known as "Doroscar" as well as official merch of the Nikkes resembling Doro. Moreover, their other game, Stellar Blade features Doro in the game's crossover.
This tag applies to any character that gets the "Dorofication" treatment, not just Dorothy's Doro.
