Kiriban is a term used on artist websites like Deviantart or Pixiv. It comes from the Japanese "kiri no ii ban" (切りの良い番), which means "a good number" and refers to a satisfying number, visually or numerically. "1000","555","2222" or "12345" are examples of such numbers.

Usage in Deviantart
However, on Deviantart, kiriban refers to the number of pageviews for a profile. Normally each artist announces on their page whether they are doing kiribans and what the next number is. If someone manages to screenshot the pageviews in said number, that person gets a free dedicated drawing.
