We have a new friend here at Wow! Wow! Wubbzy headquarters and his name is Sato-chan! He is actually the corporate character for a Japanese healthcare company.
Many of the members of the crew pat his head for good luck and ask him for advice. He is a very wise elephant!
Many thanks to my girlfriends Aunt Aggie for hunting this down and dragging it all the way from Japan.

This site is awesome! Yay!
PS--Lorna wants a character named after her. So do Christopher and I.
Sincerely, Your now 14-year-old Co-creator!! :)

I've seen and lusted after owning that exact elephant thing downtown in Little Tokyo (on 2nd St.) for years--the ones I've seen in that particular shop have a big ol' sign on them that says "THIS IS NOT FOR SALE! DON'T ASK!" ; )
How the hell did you guys score one? I'm jellus'!

My girlfriends Aunt had a friend that tracked it down on Japanese E-Bay.
Lucky me!

Yes, I know ALL ABOUT Sato-chan....I've been trying to get one of those forever....and half of my family LIVES in Japan! What the---? Your connections are a little more resourceful than mine, apparently!
