Yukai Engineering Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shunsuke Aoki), which plans and develops numerous communication robots and IoT products under the vision of "Making the world more cheerful with robotics," has announced that its "peeking" charm robot "mirumi," scheduled for release in spring 2026, appeared in the Spring/Summer 26 fashion show of the Italian fashion brand "GCDS." This collection was presented on February 27, 2026, in Milan, Italy.
The theme of this collection is “What’s in My Bag?”. Creative Director Giuliano Calza packed his identity cultivated over 10 years and his personal "treasures" into a bag and sent it down the runway. The charm robot "mirumi" was personally selected by Mr. Calza as a symbolic presence of the theme, a "personal companion lurking inside a modern bag."
Dressed in a special costume and curiously "peeking" at the outside world from the gap of a bag, "mirumi" transcended the role of a mere accessory. It became a key item embodying the "playfulness" and "fusion of technology" that the designer wanted to express on the important 10th-anniversary stage, drawing intense interest from media and celebrities worldwide.
