Captain KUMA

Launched on May of 2025, $KUMA is a cryptocurrency project on the Solana blockchain developed in connection with the Betakkuma Project.

Originating from Japan, the Betakkuma IP features a widely recognized digital character known for its quirky white bear design and human-like expressions. The character has been featured in partnerships with global brands such as Coca-Cola, Asahi Beer, Universal Music, and Otsuka Pharmaceutical. It has achieved over 750 million sticker downloads across messaging platforms such as LINE and Telegram, accumulated more than 4 million followers, and generated over 3 billion views across multiple digital platforms.

$KUMA is backed by Bythen, an agentic content creator automation platform that enables users to generate video content using natural language prompts powered by generative AI diffusion models. The platform is designed to help aspiring content creators bring their ideas to life and produce customizable video content without requiring prior editing experience. Bythen aims to serve as an all-in-one platform for creators to build their brand and explore monetization opportunities.
