Overview

A fluffy, palm-sized robot that hugs a bag strap and glances shyly at people, modeled on the way babies sneak a look at strangers. It turns its head toward sounds, reacts when its head is touched, and fidgets on its own now and then. It comes from the maker of Qoobo and Amagami Ham Ham and was pitched as a fashion accessory, appearing at Milan Fashion Week and in a Harrods pop-up. Its Kickstarter set a record for Yukai, but supply has trailed demand, and US pre-orders were sold out in October 2026.

A charming accessory with a few lifelike gestures, best bought as a fashion item rather than as a robot.
