New Robot Mirami: A Competitor to Labubu Dolls

A new name is shining in the world of interactive accessories in 2026, as the small robot Mirami emerges as a strong competitor to the 'Labubu' dolls that dominated the scene last year. But how did the idea for Mirami begin? The idea for Mirami originated in 2024 during an internal competition at Yokai, where designers attempted to create a character that combines robotics and emotional expression in a simple and people-friendly manner. The doll was also showcased at the CES 2025 exhibition in Las Vegas. Mirami and Emotional Technology Mirami is not just a robot, but a small emotional experience. It is designed to display gentle expressions, making interaction with it natural and human despite its technological nature. This small, furry robot not only adorns bags but also interacts intelligently with its surroundings. Mirami's Price and Release Date The Japanese company 'Yokai Engineering' announced that Mirami can be pre-ordered in colors such as gray, pink, and ivory, starting at approximately $122. Shipments to countries worldwide are expected to begin in April 2026.
