New Product 1: "Nekotongue Fu Fu Fu", a Fu Fu Fu robot that cools down hot food.
I want to eliminate that act of "huffing and puffing" by people with cat tongues from the world.
It is a small robot that specializes in cooling hot food and drinks.
When hooked to the rim of a cup or other dishware and turned on, a small fan creates a breeze that cools the hot food with a "whoosh. The strength of the wind is adjustable, and features a "hoo-rhythm" mode that can change the amount of wind at random as well as a mode that always cools with a constant amount of wind.
Background of the development of "Cat Tongue Woo Woo
For families raising children, the act of cooling the heat for children who cannot yet eat hot foods is a daily requirement. In addition to small children, there are also a great many adults who struggle with cat tongues when eating.
Can't we eliminate the "huffing and puffing" that so many people do when eating hot food? This was the starting point of the "Cat Tongue Woof Woof" project.

New Product 2: "Mirumi," a cuddly robot that glances at you
Seeing + stuffed animal = "Mirumi".
When it senses that someone is nearby, this plush robot glances, stares, and looks around with baby-like eye and neck movements.
It is designed to look like an unknown creature covered in fluffy fur and is about the size of the palm of your hand. It can be hugged in a bag or backpack, and can be taken along at any time.
Background of "Mirumi" Development
A striking gesture of a small child being held in a carrier glancing at someone nearby. When adults who see it wave their hands or make funny faces at them, they hide in embarrassment or turn their heads to look at us again. The birth of "Mirumi" was inspired by the desire to bring that gesture, which makes everyone around it happy, to as many people as possible.
