About

A mascot built for daily history shorts.

GUBU is an original cartoon mascot created for short animated history storytelling. Simple, funny, and instantly readable, GUBU acts as a recurring visual anchor for videos about historical events, characters, and chaotic moments from the past.

GUBU is not only one character. GUBU is also a reusable character system: the same rounded body, minimal face, warm cream color, thick outline, and expressive pose language can become many historical variants through hats, outfits, props, and scene context.

Style DNA

The rules that make GUBU recognizable.

01

Teardrop Silhouette

Smooth rounded body, oversized head, tiny limbs, and one curl on top.

02

Minimal Face

Oval eyes, tiny eyebrows, and bold mouth shapes carry the emotion.

03

Warm Cream Base

Creamy ivory skin with yellow accents for thumbnails, props, and scenes.

04

Thick Dark Outline

Rounded cutout-style lines keep the character readable at small sizes.

Character Sheet

One shape, many reactions.

GUBU can host, panic, explain, run, or become a historical variant without losing the same core silhouette.

  • Front, side, and back views
  • Happy and shocked expressions
  • Pointing pose for storytelling
  • Reusable base for future costumes
