Maru's Wikipedia entry: Maru (まる, Japanese: circle or round; born May 24, 2007)[1] is a male Scottish Fold (straight variety)[2] cat in Japan who has become popular on YouTube. As of April 2013, videos with Maru have been viewed over 200 million times.[3] Videos featuring Maru have an average of 800,000 views each and he is mentioned often in print and televised media discussing Internet celebrities.[4]
Maru's owner posts videos under the account name 'mugumogu'. Mugumogu is almost never seen in the videos. A rare exception:"Maru's ear cleaning." The videos are edited to include title cards in English and Japanese setting up the events of the video, and often show Maru playing in cardboard boxes, indicated by "I love a box!" in his introduction video.
In August 2013, Maru's owner adopted a two-month old mixed-breed cat named 'Hana' from a veterinarian. During the two-week trial period, Maru and Hana got along very well and Mugumogu decided to make Hana a new member of their family.[5]
