A doubled abbreviation of 了解 (ryoukai, understood) — meaning 'roger roger' or 'got it got it' in a casual, friendly way.

りょりょ is the playful doubling of りょ, itself an abbreviation of 了解 (ryoukai). The progression is: 了解 → りょうかい → りょ → りょりょ. While りょ is the most minimal form and can feel somewhat curt, りょりょ adds warmth through repetition, making it feel friendlier and more enthusiastic. It is common in LINE messages and group chats among close friends, conveying casual agreement without the effort of typing the full word.
