A monumental statue of Kabosu, the Shiba Inu dog behind the Doge meme, is set to be installed in Sakura City, Japan in early November thanks to a crowdfunding effort by Dogecoin supporters.

According to the late 2022 announcement, the statue is being created to honor Kabosu on her 17th birthday this year and the 9th anniversary of Dogecoin on December 6th. The crowdfunding campaign was launched on Nov. 2, 2022 by the Dogecoin Foundation, Own The Doge, and Kabosu’s owner Atsuko Sato.

2022년 말 발표에 따르면, 올해 카보스의 17번째 생일과 12월 6일 도지코인 9주년을 기념하기 위해 동상이 만들어지고 있다고 합니다. 크라우드 펀딩 캠페인은 2022년 11월 2일 Dogecoin 재단, Own The Doge 및 Kabosu의 소유자 Atsuko Sato에 의해 시작되었습니다.

Within the first 72 hours, the effort raised over $42,000 in cryptocurrency donations to reach their initial goal. However, the recent major downturn in crypto markets has diminished the value of the funds raised. Still, donations have continued and the Doge community has their sights set on making the statue as large and impressive as possible.

“This is surely one of the most important and impactful things the Doge community has ever created. The statue will provide an IRL location for those inspired by the Doge to pilgrimage and gather.”

The bronze monument is planned for Sakura Furusato Square near Kabosu’s home, where she often takes walks with Sato. Supporters hope the statue becomes a “Doge Mecca” for the meme’s fans to congregate and celebrate Kabosu’s enduring positive impact.

동상은 사토와 종종 산책을 하던 가보스의 집 근처 사쿠라 후루사토 광장에 건립될 ​​예정이다. 지지자들은 이 동상이 밈 팬들이 모여서 카보수의 지속적인 긍정적인 영향을 축하할 수 있는 "총독의 메카"가 되기를 바랍니다.

Donations to the “Bronze The Doge” campaign can be made via Dogecoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. The organizers say the funds will be held in secure digital wallets until the statue’s construction. Kabosu’s statue is set to be installed in early November just in time for her birthday, on Nov. 2, according to an April announcement.
