The Origin of Domo Kun

Domo-kun first appeared in 1998 as the mascot for Japan's public broadcaster, NHK, celebrating the 10th anniversary of their satellite broadcasting. Created by Tsuneo Gōda, he is a creature that hatched from an egg and lives in an underground cave with a wise old rabbit named Mr. Usaji. Domo’s name comes from a greeting used by an NHK newscaster, "Domo, konnichiwa," which roughly translates to "Well, hello there."

The character became a global meme in the early 2000s when a humorous "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten" image featuring two Domos chasing a kitten went viral on websites like Fark and 4chan. This transformed the domo kun plush toy from a niche Japanese mascot into an international icon of internet culture.
