About
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.

Smooth rounded body, oversized head, tiny limbs, and one curl on top.
Oval eyes, tiny eyebrows, and bold mouth shapes carry the emotion.
