Gugenka, Official VRChat Partner, Begins Free Distribution of Sanrio's Digital Pet "Tabecchane"

Gugenka Inc. (CEO Masafumi Mikami) announced on May 1, 2026, the start of free distribution of "Tabecchane," a character born in "Metamog," a popular nurturing world within Sanrio's metaverse space "Sanrio Virtual Puroland," as a free companion item that can be taken to all VRChat worlds.

This project leverages Gugenka's status as an official VRChat partner, and through strong cooperation with VRChat, it has realized a more free and endearing experience where users can take their "companion" to any desired location in any VRChat world.

What is "Metamog - Metamogphose Lab."?

A New Experience: Walking with your Companion "Tabecchane" in All VRChat Worlds

The mysterious creature "Tabecchane," which has emerged from the world of "Metamog," will become a companion that stays by your side in your VRChat life.

No matter which VRChat world you go to, Tabecchane will follow the user with cute, leisurely movements.

・Color Changeable

Users can freely change its color to their liking, customizing it into a one-of-a-kind companion.

・Produced by Creator Team 'QuestMaker'

The creation of the model, gimmicks, and animations was handled by the creator team 'QuestMaker,' which boasts high technical prowess in VRChat. They achieved adorable movements and high quality.

The VRChat game world "Metamog" has been enjoyed by many players, and we have received various forms of support. It is thanks to everyone's support that we were able to realize this project. We thought, wouldn't it be even more enjoyable if players could take the "Mog" they nurtured to other worlds? With that in mind, we put our efforts into implementing this. We hope you will get it during this free distribution period and experience the expanding world of "Metamog." (Comment: Bayu/QuestMaker Director)

Gugenka's Technology Provision and Development Background

Gugenka, utilizing its expertise as an official VRChat partner, developed a system where clicking a poster installed in the "Metamog" world within VRChat automatically transitions to the VRChat code redemption screen. Since the unique code is auto-entered, users can immediately receive "Tabecchane" on the spot without complicated procedures.

What is "Virtual Sanrio Puroland"?

It is a virtual theme park that anyone can visit from anywhere, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As an "ever-evolving" theme park where everyone around the world can become friends, it hosts events such as shows and greetings with Sanrio characters in VRChat.
