Otamatone Deluxe Gudetama Sanrio Japanese Electronic Musical Synthesizer from Japan Professional Educational Gift Award Winning

About Gudetama Gudetama is a cute yet moody lazy egg character created by Sanrio, the creator of Hello Kitty. His name is a Japanese wordplay on “gude gude” which describes someone lazy or lacking in energy, and “tamago” which means egg. Originally imagined as a character, Gudetama’s relatability, combined with his undeniable cuteness, has gained him a huge fanbase among adults both in Japan and abroad. The character is now one of Sanrio’s most successful, having amassed the largest twitter following of all Sanrio characters and has become both a millennial icon and a kawaii culture mainstay. What is an Otamatone? The Otamatone is a cute, quirky, and fun to play electronic musical instrument characterized by its eighth note-shaped body, adorable moving mouth, and silly, buzzing, amusingly off-key "voice." Developed by design firm Maywa Denki, it was first released in Japan in 2009 and has been the country's best-selling musical instrument ever since.
