$MEI — a love that lives on

For years Mei and Kira floated side by side at Toba Aquarium. This November, Kira-chan passed away. Mei is still here, and she is alone now.

Mei is alone now

Mei and Kira together at Toba Aquarium
Mei & Kira, together

Mei-chan and Kira-chan were two of the last sea otters living in any aquarium in Japan. At Toba Aquarium in Mie Prefecture they ate together, played together, and drifted in the same pool, and their clips were shared millions of times around the world.

This November, Kira-chan passed away. Mei-chan is left in the water without her longtime companion.

Sea otters hold paws so they don't drift apart while they sleep. Mei's paw is still reaching. ♡

$MEI is a community takeover built to remember them both. It is a meme coin, and it is also a small memorial: a place where people who loved these two can gather, share their favourite moments, and keep Kira's memory floating next to Mei.

トークン

The OG $MEI

For Kira-chan. For Mei-chan. Built by the community.

💎

The original token

Not a copycat. This is the OG $MEI, now run as a community takeover.

🎁

Holders rewards

We asked to switch from Creator Rewards to Holders Rewards, and Pump.fun approved it.

🐚

Why not donate?

The first plan was to donate fees to Toba Aquarium. The aquarium is well supported and isn't seeking donations, so rewards go to holders instead.

🛡️

Protected from vamps

OG token plus holders rewards gives copycats little reason to exist.
