+KiSS is an acronym for Kisekae Set System. "Kisekae" is a Japanese word
+used in reference to changing clothes. "Kisekae ningyo" is the Japanese
+term for what we call in America a "fashion doll" (such as Barbie).
+
+In 1991, a Japanese computer programmer known as MIO.H released a
+viewing platform and related image archives, or "kisekae sets",
+specifically designed to bring the "fashion doll" concept into the
+digital world. The result is something of a cross between a paper doll
+and a computer game. With the appropriate viewer for their operating
+system, a computer user could download various doll "sets" and play with
+them on their desktop. The Kisekae Set System, or KiSS, was originally
+inspired by the dress-up games young girls play with fashion dolls. The
+KiSS computer game found a much broader audience, and today there are
+KiSS sets for every age, taste and orientation. Some KiSS sets weren't
+even dolls--there were puzzles, board games, maps, even virtual models
+like the Space Cruiser Yamato. These came to be called "Aberrant KiSS"
+to distinguish them from the regular doll sets.
