Yeah it was funny the first two or three times i've seen some random anime nerd use it. After that it just got old and annoying.

Wouldn't really know if anime was it's origin but thats where i've seen it used the first time. Go visit a few anime channels on IRC and i'm sure you'll get more than a handfull of anime geeks using that.

"In Japanese language, one that uses hundreds of onomatopoetic words,
and indeed in other Asian cultures, laughter is conveyed as
ôkera-keraö (and an older form ôketa-ketaö), possibly shortened of
late to ôke-keö for chat purposes. If so, this is a relatively new
onomatopoeia. As was explained in one forum thread, the term ôkekekeö
indicates a form of ôcacklingö, and of course, since chat is text
based, the best way to convey this is buy devising a commonly
understandable onomatopoeia, which apparently is what we are seeing in
this particular situation. As for how long this improvised term has
been in use, the Internet Slang Dictionary provides no clue. One guess
is probably as good as another. Since the sound ôkekekeö is easily
recognizable as a kind of suppressed giggle (if you recall the TV
sitcom, ôDukes of Hazardö, the character known as ôSheriff Roscoe P.
Coltraneö laughed like this in almost every episode), it has probably
been around much longer than anyone really knows for certain.
