Kabosu, the beloved Shiba Inu who unintentionally became the symbol of Dogecoin and inspired numerous other memecoins, passed away on May 24th, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of his adoring community. On May 24th, the owner of the famous Shiba Inu, Kabosu, confirmed that the beloved dog had passed away after 17 years of being cherished in Japan.

The meme photo of Kabosu went viral on the internet in 2013, becoming one of the earliest symbols of meme culture. Since then, Kabosu has not only been widely recognized but also became the inspiration for the creation of Dogecoin (DOGE), one of the pioneering memecoins.

Dogecoin’s subsequent success paved the way for the emergence of numerous other dog-themed memecoins like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Floki (FLOKI), which have now become an integral part of the cryptocurrency market.

A memorial service for Kabosu will be held on Sunday, May 26th, at Narita City Park in Japan.$DOGE $ORDI $GLM
