The Owner of the Dogecoin Dog Spoke About Another Altcoin: “It Has Nothing to Do With Us”

Atsuko Sato, the owner of Kabosu, the Shiba Inu dog that inspired Dogecoin, has stated that she has no connection whatsoever with the CATE token projects circulating in the cryptocurrency market.

Sato stated that a post he made on his Instagram account was used without his permission, and that fake tokens were launched using this content, falsely portraying him as being associated with it. The owner of Kabosu expressed his regret that some accounts with high follower counts on the X platform also contributed to the spread of these posts.

Atsuko Sato stated that Own The Doge is the only project she has officially authorized to manage intellectual property rights. Own The Doge acquired the iconic Doge NFT in 2021 and launched the $DOG token. The project also organizes Doge Day events, supports charities, and manages intellectual property rights related to the Doge brand.

Sato stated that he and the Own The Doge team also launched the COCORO token on the Base network in 2025. Therefore, he clarified that the only cryptocurrency projects officially affiliated with him are $DOG and COCORO.

Sato stated that the proceeds from these projects would be used for pet care and for animal protection organizations supported by “withkabosu,” and urged users to trust only official statements.
