![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Gudetama is Melville’s Bartleby in unfertilized yolk form. Each new day is one more chance for Gudetama to experience life on the lowest setting, and its ultimate pleasure is in doing nothing. Though it can do these things and has the potential for more, it would rather not. Gudetama can talk (in short sentences), move (more like wiggle), emote (only pain), and breathe (particularly when it sleeps). Its main attraction is its apathetic personality. But Gudetama’s looks are just a fraction of its appeal. Gudetama looks like a character someone gave up on, and yet people cannot get enough of it. Where Hello Kitty and her compatriots like Keroppi (a frog that looks more like the owner of an old-fashioned ice cream shop than an amphibian) are known for bringing adorable charm to items like lunchboxes, luggage, T-shirts, and toothbrushes and evoking warmth from the coldest of hearts, Gudetama, hatched in 2013, was born into a world it would prefer to avoid. It’s also the company’s most popular character in recent memory, even though its blob-like appearance is the antithesis of Sanrio’s historical emphasis on cuteness. Gudetama is a relatively recent addition to the Sanrio universe - which, until recent memory, revolved around the tiny-eyed, red-hair-bow-wearing being known as Hello Kitty. But Gudetama isn’t any of those - because that would make too much sense for a success story that, on its surface, shouldn’t make any sense at all. To the naked eye, it could easily be mistaken for a golden bean, a kernel of corn, or an unappealing drop of honey. It has thighs but no visible joints, a head but no neck. It’s a fictional character of sorts, one with limbs but no fingers or toes. All designs Copyright © GUND, Inc.It’s hard to tell at a glance, but Gudetama is an egg yolk with a butt crack.
