Gudetama Shimeji is part of Shimeji Buddy, a free Chrome extension that adds small animated characters to every web page you open. Once you turn Gudetama on, the buddy appears at the bottom of the page, walks around, climbs the sides of the window, sits on top of images and reacts when you click or drag it. It works on Google search, YouTube, Reddit, your school portal and almost any other site.

What Is Gudetama Shimeji?
A Shimeji (しめじ) is a tiny desktop mascot that lives on the edge of your screen. The idea started as a Japanese desktop-pet program and Shimeji Buddy brings it to the browser. Gudetama Shimeji is our cartoons buddy inspired by Gudetama. It uses a hand-drawn sprite sheet with walking, climbing, falling, sitting and special animations, so it looks like a real little animation rather than a static sticker.

About Gudetama
Gudetama is Sanrio's lazy egg yolk who lies in its shell, sighs a lot and has no motivation whatsoever. Gudetama Shimeji is the laziest buddy in the collection. It barely walks, slides out of its shell to lie flat on the page and covers itself with a bacon blanket when idle. Click it and it will sigh and roll over. Somehow, that is exactly why people love it.
