lazy egg
Gudetama, stylized in all lowercase (Japanese: ぐでたま) is a cartoon character created in 2013 by the Japanese company Sanrio,[4][5] and is a perpetually tired, apathetic anthropomorphic egg yolk.[6][7] The name "Gudetama" is a portmanteau or blend word of the Japanese words for lazy (ぐでぐで, gudegude) and egg (たまご, tamago).[8] Gudetama was created by the Sanrio designer known as Amy, the nom de plume of Emi Nagashima (永嶋 瑛美, Nagashima Emi).[1][2]
Originally targeted at the preadolescent market, Gudetama gained popularity among teens and adults for embodying the difficulties of surviving in modern-day society.[7] As a result, the target group of Gudetama expanded to millennials.[9] As of 2019, Gudetama was Sanrio's third most profitable character.[10] Gudetama featured in an animated morning show in Japan on TBS from 2014 to 2020 and is the main character of the Netflix show Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure from 2022.[11][12] Video games and comics based on the character have also been created. Airplanes and trains have been branded with Gudetama themed decor, and restaurants have served Gudetama-themed egg dishes. The character has featured on a variety of merchandise including apparel, stationery and toys.
