Months after the trend first started, Italian brainrot animals are still going viral across social media, and the latest character to capture people's attention is Cappuccino Assassino.

The ninja cup of coffee is going viral across TikTok as users expand on his lore and his relationship with the similar character, Ballerina Cappucina.

So, where did Cappuccino Assassino come from, and what is the lore behind the bizarre-looking brainrot character? Here's what you need to know.

What Is The 'Cappuccino Assassino' Meme?

Cappuccino Assassino was created by TikToker @alexey_pigeon in early March 2025. The most dedicated Italian brainrot lovers might recognize @alexey_pigeon as the creator of other well-known brainrot animals like Chimpanzini Bananini.

The Cappuccino Assassino video garnered over 6.4 million views in two months and follows the same format as other versions of the meme, consisting of a still image of the character (created using AI art tools) over Italian narration.

In this case, the narration roughly translates to, "This furtive assassin infiltrates his enemies, taking advantage of the night. Attention, coffee hater! If you don't drink a cup of cappuccino in the morning, you better not cross this guy."

How Is 'Cappuccino Assassino' Used In Memes?

Like other Italian brainrot animals, Cappuccino Assassino is being used in a variety of memes that use AI to show him in a variety of situations. Many of these videos expand on his lore, such as a video by TikToker @drdexo that claims he was dating Ballerina Cappucina before she was tricked into believing Cappuccino was killed, resulting in her taking her own life.

Much of the coffee assassin's lore claims he's in a romantic relationship with Ballerina Cappucina, with many examples showing her succumbing to a tragic fate.

Others are posting Italian brainrot "versus" videos that use AI to generate videos of Cappucino Assassino fighting other prominent Italian brainrot animals.
