Shiba Inu Kabosu, the Inspiration Behind the "Doge" Meme, Passes Away at 18
Kabosu, the beloved Shiba Inu whose iconic image became synonymous with the "Doge" meme and sparked the creation of Dogecoin, has passed away at the age of 18. Her owner, Atsuko Sato, announced the sad news on May 24, expressing heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love and support Kabosu had received throughout her life. A farewell gathering in honor of "Kabo-chan" will be held on May 26 at Flower Kaori in Narita City.
"Our Community's Shared Friend and Inspiration"
"Today, Kabosu, our community's shared friend and inspiration, peacefully passed in the arms of her person," the Dogecoin team tweeted. "The impact this one dog has made across the world is immeasurable. She was a being who knew only happiness and limitless love."
Internet Fame and Meme Culture
Kabosu first gained internet stardom in 2010 through Sato's blog photos, particularly one capturing her skeptical yet curious expression. This image quickly became the face of the "Doge" meme, which spread rapidly online, often accompanied by humorous Comic Sans replies.
In 2013, the image of Kabosu was adopted as the official insignia of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency initially created as a joke. Over the years, Dogecoin has supported numerous humanitarian projects, including clean water campaigns and the Jamaican bobsled team.
Market Response and Tributes
Tributes to Kabosu have flooded social media platforms, celebrating her legacy. Analysts predict a mixed market response to her passing, with Dogecoin (DOGE) potentially experiencing a temporary dip. However, sentiment tied to Kabosu could also drive a bullish trend, potentially propelling DOGE towards the $1 mark.
Kabosu's influence extended beyond the cryptocurrency world into politics, as evidenced by her role in digital campaign tactics used in the reelection of US President Joe Biden.
Shiba Inu's Enduring Influence
The market performance of Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been volatile since Kabosu's passing. DOGE has risen by 8.13% in the past 24 hours and 7.54% in the past seven days.
Kabosu's enduring influence underscores the profound impact of internet memes on cultural and digital landscapes. Her legacy as the face of Dogecoin symbolizes a spirit of community and continues to inspire meme culture worldwide.
