Frog costumes on TikTok were originally worn by Chinese street vendors.
These vendors sold baby frog toys and inflatable frogs to the public.
The frog costume went viral after a video of a Shanghai city official asking a vendor to remove the frog costume was uploaded.
Apparently, the peddler violated the city’s management regulations because he did not have the right to sell toys.
The videos and photos went viral on Sina Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter.
According to media reports, a man from Anhui province in eastern China wore a frog costume at night to sell baby frog toys and was found crying in the street.
In another report, a resident wearing a costume while riding an e-bike was fined 20 yuan for not wearing a helmet.
Soon, many people started wearing the costume and posting it on TikTok.
There are many videos that showcase the mischief between frog costumes and the public.

The frog salute originated from Keroro (Sgt. Frog), a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Mine Yoshizaki.
The manga has a TV series where Keroro is known for performing the salute.
On TikTok, a person in a frog costume will perform a salute by stomping on the ground first.
The origin of this action is also Keroro, when he stamped his feet on the ground before greeting.
This can be seen from the first five seconds of the opening theme song Keroro (uploaded by BN Pictures).
You can also see 20 seconds in the video with 5 frogs stamping their feet before making the salute.
The opening theme song has had over 1.7 million views on YouTube and over 1 thousand comments (mostly in Japanese).
