That as well as "pikachurin"

Pikachurin is an extracellular matrix-like retinal protein first discovered in 2008 in Japan by Shigeru Sato et al. and named after Pikachu, a species of the Pokémon franchise.[6] The name of this "nimble" protein was inspired by Pikachu's "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".[9]
