What Is Pikachu 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. Pikachu Shimeji is our anime buddy inspired by Pikachu. 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.
