Gudetama is Sanrio’s most relatable character—a sleepy, unmotivated egg who just wants to stay cozy and do nothing. With its soft, runny yolk body and permanently tired expression, Gudetama perfectly captures the mood of anyone who’s ever felt like staying in bed all day.

Whether it’s lounging on a bacon blanket, sighing about life, or avoiding responsibilities, Gudetama embraces the art of being effortlessly lazy. But even in its endless quest for rest, this adorable little egg reminds us all to take it easy and enjoy life at our own pace.
