Meet the Roundest Hero on the Block

The Star of the Show

Let us talk about our protagonist, the wonderfully chunky gray and white cat known as Debu-nekochan. Created by artist Karin Kano, this character brings a warm, watercolor-like aesthetic to your chats. Every single design features this lovable, fluffy feline wearing a signature blue or red neck scarf, bursting with personality and relatable everyday expressions.

A Close Look at Every Single Design

Let us break down each of these eight delightful illustrations so you can use them perfectly in your chats.

In the first sticker, our round friend cradles a giant golden baguette like a prized possession under the pink text OK. It is the ultimate way to agree to dinner plans with style.

Next, the cute kitty scoops honey from a jar with pure bliss, accompanied by the pink text おつかれさま (Otsukaresama). This translates to thank you for your hard work, making it perfect for wrapping up a long day.

The third design shows our cat looking absolutely grumpy, arms tightly crossed, with the word おこり (Okori) meaning angry, complete with vibrating pink anger lines over its head.

Beside it, the feline celebrates with pure excitement, paws raised high under bright pink energy rays to show instant joy.

Moving to the second row, the cat slides sideways in sheer shock under the dramatic text ええーっ！ (Eee!), which translates to a dramatic what or no way.

Then, we see him adorable wrapped up in a blue gift ribbon amidst colorful confetti, with おめでとう (Omedetou) meaning congratulations written below.

The seventh sticker features a smug cat holding up a tiny red card with the classic Kansai phrase どや！ (Doya!), which translates to how is that for a triumphantly boastful moment.

Finally, the last sticker shows our round hero sprinting past a city building under the phrase むかってます！ (Mukattemasu!), which translates to I am on my way.
