His name is a wordplay on “gude-gude” which means lazy and “tamago” which means egg in Japanese. So Gudetama is an egg who seems to lack the energy to do anything much at all. He’s whiny, always has a face of despair and can usually be found sleeping in his shell, curled up in a bacon blanket or taking a nap on a bed of rice.
The latest character to join the Sanrio family, the Japanese
lifestyle brand behind Hello Kitty, isn't a cuddly animal, or even a
living creature. It's an egg named Gudetama.
