What is a WordPress Wapuu? (Introduction)
Wapuu is an unofficial but very beloved mascot of the WordPress community.
In other words, Wapuu is a special character or symbol created to embody the spirit of WordPress events such as meetups, WordCamps, brands, and even personal projects.
WordPress Wapuu’s journey began on February 19, 2011, during WordCamp Fukuoka. Initially designed as a mascot to promote WordPress in Japan by Kazuko Kaneuchi, it didn’t stop at that.
Wapuu’s popularity soared, and it soon became a beloved symbol worldwide. No matter where you go in a WordPress community event, you’re sure to find a Wapuu somewhere.
Let’s see some facts.
The original Wapuu featured the mascot character hugging the WordPress logo. Over time, it has evolved as WordPress users globally personalized it to reflect their local communities. This evolution has given rise to a varied collection of Wapuus, each with its own unique story.
For example, Chao Phraya Boat Wapuu is for WordCamp Asia 2023. It represents the iconic Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Also, embodies the spirit of the city with its vibrant colors and boat design.
At its core, Wapuu is more than just a cute and playful character. It’s a symbol of creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
Now, let’s explore Wapuu’s evolution and discover the heartwarming stories behind its many forms.
History of WordPress Wapuu – The Origin
From its humble beginnings at WordCamp Fukuoka in 2011, Wapuu’s journey has been extraordinary. Indeed, it mirrors the vibrant evolution of the WordPress platform itself.
Now, let’s check out the Wapuu’s origin story in the timeline below.
At the WordCamp Tokyo 2009 afterparty, Matt Mullenweg looked for ways to promote WordPress in Japan. Someone suggested creating a mascot, and he liked the idea.
Naoko Takano, a Japanese community manager, was brought in by Automattic to make the mascot idea a reality.
The admins of ja.wordpress.org including Naoko chose Kazuko Kaneuchi as the illustrator for the mascot.
Kazuko submitted the first drafts of the mascot, which included 12 unique illustrations.
The admins of ja.wordpress.org chose option “E” from Kazuko’s drafts as the final mascot, now known as Wapuu.
Wapuu was unveiled as the official character for WordPress Japan at WordCamp Fukuoka 2011.
The Japanese WordPress community conducted a poll to name the mascot. 530 participated in the voting.
“Wapuu” was chosen as the mascot’s name.
Wapuu is a beloved symbol for WordPress users worldwide, modified by hundreds to represent their local communities under GPLv2 or later.
So, that’s it!
From 2009 to 2011, the Wapuu was in the making. From 2011 onward, it’s traveled the world!
Before we move ahead, let us add a fact on how the Japanese WordPress community suggested the mascot idea.
Thanks to Firefox’s popular Foxkeh mascot!
Inspired by that, the Japanese WordPress community thought it was time for WordPress to have its own mascot as well. And hence Wapuu was born!
