Moai Kids

The Moai Kids (モアイコ), or simply Moai (モアイ), are two moai who appear in Moai Doo-Wop in Rhythm Heaven.

Story
The two moai who appear in the game, the male Moaio (モアイオ) and the female Moaiko (モアイコ), are the only two of their kind living on the small island. They are familiar to the natives. During Moai Doo-Wop, it is rumored the two are expecting a tiny bundle of moai joy (子モアイ), which ends up being born as shown in the Superb epilogue.

A little known fact is that when no one is watching, the moai love to sing. Their language was dubbed "Moai Song". Moai repeat a phrase verbatim to signal agreement. Even a slight change expresses disagreement to the original singer, which has led to a messy ending of many moai friendships. In order to maintain good relationships, they strive to listen closely to their partner. Despite looking relaxed, they are actually intently focused on listening closely before replying.

The Moai Bird (モアイの鳥), which belongs to the perchandpoop family of finches, can be seen perching on and around the Moai Kids. This bird has a curious reaction to music. Their sensitive ears detect irregularities in music which result in other kinds of irregularities in the birds themselves.

In Tunnel, one of the locations visited is a field full of moai. The Moai Kids can also be seen in the background in Battle of the Bands, and an image of them appears in Cheer Readers 2 in Rhythm Heaven Fever.
