SpaceX’s Doge-1 is set to rocket to the moon, and Magazine is LMBO at the colorful history of Dogecoin and the real life FUKKIN DOGE Kabosu.
I posted Doge for the first time, John Monarch mentions casually, just minutes after I sit at his table upon sneaking into the Tokyo hotels breakfast buffet.
Excuse me? Yes, apparently I was sitting next to the creator of the original Doge meme, and we were about to board a bus to the 18th birthday party of Kabosu, the real-life dog behind Doge.
Kabosu lives in Sakura, Chiba Prefecture, which is not far from Tokyos Narita Airport. When her breeder went out of business in 2008, she and 19 other Shiba Inus were taken to an animal shelter to be put down. However, she was rescued by local kindergarten teacher Atsuko Sato, (better known as @kabosumama to her 67,000 followers on X), who named her after a citrus fruit due to her round face.
