AI Pet 'Fuzozo' Hits No. 1 on Makuake Launch Day, Exceeds 35 Million Yen in 3 Days

Fuzozo, an AI pet. 株式会社Fuzozo announced that its AI pet 'Fuzozo' launched its crowdfunding project on Makuake on May 29, 2026. It achieved first place in Makuake's 'Today's Ranking' on its launch day and exceeded 35 million yen in support within just three days. Conceptually designed to become 'like your own child', Fuzozo is a palm-sized AI pet that converses when spoken to, reacts to touch, and gradually develops a unique personality through daily interactions.

The project has seen massive support since its inception. Beyond enjoying conversations with AI, users are attracted to the experience of physical reactions and the ability to shape the pet's personality through daily engagement. It has garnered interest from a wide demographic, including families, character enthusiasts, and those seeking comfort in daily life.

Fuzozo combines conversation, tactile interaction, and a growth experience. You can enjoy natural daily conversations, and it reacts to touches on the forehead or chin with sound and movement. Since its personality shifts based on interactions, it offers an experience akin to raising a pet rather than using a standard gadget. The dedicated app allows users to check growth updates, read a diary of daily interactions, and use a 'friend' function with other Fuzozo devices.
