Mirumi: Japan's Fuzzy Robot Bag Charm Reacts to Your Touch, Ships 2026

  • Mirumi is a tiny, fuzzy robot bag charm developed by Japanese company Yukai Engineering, designed as an interactive companion.
  • It clings to bags/belts and moves its head when petted, reacting to touch and sound through built-in sensors and a motor.
  • Described as a mix of a yeti, owl, and Sesame Street character, it's covered in soft, furry material and comes in pastel shades.
  • Unlike mass-produced toys, Mirumi is not mass-produced; Yukai Engineering is seeking support, with shipping expected in May 2026.
  • Powered by a rechargeable Type-C battery, it signals low battery by shaking its head, mimicking tiredness.

Why It Matters: Mirumi redefines accessories as interactive, sentient robot companions, launching in 2026.
