The WordCamp Asia Team is calling on everyone to submit their Wapuu design for WordCamp Asia 2024!
What is Wapuu?
As a result of an idea first brought up during the WordCamp Tokyo 2009 after-party, Wapuu was created by Kaneuchi Kazuko as an unofficial mascot for WordPress in Japan. The first Wapuu was unveiled at WordCamp Fukuoka 2011.
The Original Wapuu was created by Kaneuchi Kazuko
Since then, the WordPress communities all over the world have been creating their own versions of Wapuu usually holding something that represents the local culture. People can’t get enough of Wapuu that the little guy shows up everywhere, especially at WordCamps!
