Kabosu, The Dog That Became A Viral Meme, Will Be Immortalised In New Documentary

TV & Film

Jun 3

A documentary about Kabosu, the viral dog meme connected to cryptocurrency, was announced only a few days after the four-legged friend passed away. The film is titled underDOGE and will be produced by Scout Productions.

A 2013 Tumblr post propelled Kabosu to the forefront of pop culture in a remarkable twist of fate, making her the unexpected face of cryptocurrency. This unprecedented development led to the sale of her image as an NFT a few years ago, fetching a staggering four million dollars and leaving an indelible mark on the cryptocurrency landscape.

Joel Chiodi, Head of Documentaries, said in a statement, “Since becoming a meme, Kabosu the Shiba Inu has made a lasting impact with her story epitomizing the ‘underdog’ spirit. We’ve been following Kabosu since her earliest days as a meme to her final hours, capturing iconic moments with her and the community she spawned…this exclusive footage, never seen before, is a testament to Kabosu’s journey from adopted rescue pup to viral sensation, sparking a digital revolution that has moved an entire nation.”

The project is partnered with Atsuko Sato and Own The Doge, the right holders of the original Doge image. PleasrDAO, the digital art collective that bought the Doge NFT, will also collaborate on the film.

Scout’s Productions' latest films include The Secrets of Hillsong on FX, Netflix’s MerPeople, Equal on Max, and I Love You, You Hate Me for NBC’s streaming service, Peacock.
