Breaking the Low-Wage Barrier in Welfare: A Current Vocational Instructor Launches a Startup. Voice-Activated AI Hologram Pet 'Yobitama' Crowdfunding Begins

White poop, an individual developer label specializing in next-generation gadgets that combine 3D printing and AI, has launched a project on the crowdfunding platform CAMPFIRE starting June 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., to commercialize 'Yobitama,' a palm-sized AI hologram pet that performs tricks in response to voice commands, and to create employment opportunities and establish a company for people with disabilities.

A palm-sized gadget pet created by combining 3D printing and AI

Background of the Project Launch: ~The Reality of Wages in Japanese Welfare and Creating Products Without Crushing Potential~

Currently, the average wage (monthly income) at Type B employment support facilities for people with disabilities in Japan remains extremely low, at approximately 10,000 to 20,000 JPY nationwide. As a current vocational instructor, the project initiator has observed users at these facilities demonstrating remarkable focus and creative talent while enjoying making things, yet also noticed a strong sense of resignation in the environment—phrases like 'I can't turn my passion into a job' or 'Maybe I can get in (if I compromise)'—which created a deep sense of discomfort.

When 3D printers were introduced, the users' research motivation and attendance rates clearly increased. This led the initiator to firmly decide to create an environment where they could fully utilize their talents and establish a company where people could work joyfully and independently.

'Yobitama,' this next-generation AI keychain, was completed through the users' enthusiastic study of cutting-edge 3D printing technology and AI applications, combining their wisdom and effort.

This project aims not only to bring the product to a wider audience but also to use the funds raised to establish a company where individuals can express their talents without compromise and earn sufficient wages to achieve independence.

Product Features: Your Companion in the Palm of Your Hand. The 'Three New Experiences' Offered by Yobitama

1. A 4cm Holographic Universe Powered by Smartphone Light

Designed to project a three-dimensional holographic pet inside a capsule just 4cm in diameter by reflecting and transmitting smartphone light through a unique internal structure—without using any complex electronic boards or LCD screens.

This small gadget embodies the daily research achievements and heartfelt intentions of creators with disabilities.

2. Four Whimsical AI Voice Recognition Responses

Using AI voice recognition, Yobitama responds with four playful and slightly unpredictable actions based on the user's vocal engagement level (enthusiasm and words used):

• LV1 'Wan!': Responds energetically with a bark.

• LV2 'Ote (Paw)!': Occasionally performs an adorable 'paw' trick.

• LV3 'Asobo! (Let's play!)': Starts happily playing with a ball on the screen.

• LV4 'Ban!': Sometimes dramatically falls over, performing a 'ban!' trick.

Responds as if alive when spoken to

But sometimes doesn't listen.

3. Attach to Your Bag—Always With You, Even on Lonely Nights

Lightweight and compact as a keychain, it delivers a chuckle and comfort not only on your home desk but also when going out, commuting, or during moments of daily loneliness and stress.

Try talking to it when you come home tired.

'We Want to Change Welfare Based on Endurance and Compromise, and Create a Place Where Their Talents Are Properly Valued'

~A Message from the White poop Office to Everyone~

Every day, we live alongside colleagues in the welfare field who possess 'astonishing creative talents.' It is because they diligently researched and operated 3D printers that this product, Yobitama, has taken shape.

Rather than forcing themselves to fit into existing low-wage companies that 'allow them in (if they compromise),' we want to create a company where they can freely express their beloved talents and earn a fair salary to live independently.

Yobitama is an important first step toward that goal.

Although this is a personal challenge with no fame, against the thick walls of the welfare system, we hope to co-create with you the excitement of new product development and a future where everyone can shine through this lovable little companion. We sincerely appreciate your warm support.
