KORO

My dog. The reason I came back.

The Story

Koro came to me when I needed something to be steady about. He's a Shiba with a white blaze and a tail that never quite settles — the kind of dog who waits at the door whether or not you said you were coming back.

Last year I put a lot of things down after news I'm still learning to carry. I wasn't sure I'd pick any of it back up. Koro is the reason I did — he still needs me here, and that turned out to be enough.

He's unwell now, and the care costs more than I can carry alone. So I'm doing the thing I've always known how to do. I'm drawing him. Everything on this page is mine. If a piece stays with you, a like or a share helps more than it looks like it should.

The small life behind every line on this page.

A like goes further than you'd think

I'm posting my best work on X and raising what I can through monetization. You don't have to spend a thing — engagement alone keeps his care going.

Koro the Shiba, used as the $KORO coin mark

There's a coin for Koro, too.

For anyone in the Solana world who'd rather help on-chain: there's a token for Koro. I'll be straight about it — I'm the dev, and the dev rewards go to his vet bills. No price promises, no hype. Just another door in for the people who live in that world.

If that's not yours, skip this part. The art and the share button help every bit as much.

The Collection

Drawn for him, one page at a time.

Some of these I made before I knew I'd need them.

A few are older. A few are from this year, made beside him while he rested. They're all in one place now, for the first time.
