As the mascot for Japanese public broadcaster NHK, Domo quickly catapulted into becoming one of the Internet’s biggest sensations. As the reigning poster child for personalized, user-generated content, Domo has found a home as a pop culture icon within the online viral community with hundreds of thousands of fan-made images, websites, and videos posted to websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Flickr, among others. Now more than a decade later, the lovable fuzzy brown character’s cult status continues to grow and has become a bestseller at trend retailers nationwide with everyone from fashionistas to urban hipsters proudly wearing their Domo gear.
