Kabosumama is the owner and photographer of Kabosu, the Shiba Inu whose image became the original Doge meme, and whose dog passed away in May 2024. Kabosumama's Twitter Score is 62 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #13,864 (top 5%) among 483,652 tracked accounts.
Kabosumama, whose real name is Atsuko Sato, photographed Kabosu in the pose that became one of the internet's most recognizable memes, later adopted as the face of Dogecoin, though Sato had no involvement in creating the cryptocurrency itself. In June 2021, she auctioned the original Doge image as an NFT, with PleasrDAO acquiring it for 1,696.9 ETH, approximately $4 million at the time. A portion of those proceeds was directed to charities including the Japanese Red Cross Society and the World Food Programme.
Kabosumama is affiliated with Own The Doge, the community stewardship project that emerged after PleasrDAO fractionalized the Doge NFT into the $DOG token. Kabosu died in her sleep on May 24, 2024, and in March 2025, Sato announced the adoption of a new Shiba Inu named Cocoro, confirming the account remains active. Kabosumama has accumulated 98,237 followers as of August 2026 across 15,320 posts.
