Gudetama - Hong Kong


Gudetama is a cartoon character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio.
The name Gudetama is formed from two parts: the first is the ideophone “gudegude” which is used to evoke the impression of something lazy and lacking energy. 
The second part is from the Japanese word “tamago” which means egg.

Therefore, Gudetama can be translated into English as "lazy egg". Gudetama's personality and appearance match its name, as it is a depressed egg.
