Hindsight

I love Domo-kun.

Domo-kun is the mascot for NHKs satellite service (known as “BS” – don’t run with it). I found out about him a few years ago by way of those “everytime you nani-nani god kills a kitten” images, in which a cat is running from two menacing (but cute) Domo-kuns.

This page is a good start for Domo fans, including a 100MB Quicktime .mov file that features the first run his commercials. How he came to be and such. It’s priceless.

This Domo-kun FAQ is also worth your time.

Sissie gave me a Domo-kun plush last year when both of us were in Japan. She’s still running with the ALT scissors, so to speak. Domo sits not too far from my bed now.

NHK = Nippon Housou Kaisha? Nippon broadcasting company, am I right?
