Does Anyone Else Remember Domo, America's Favorite Japanese Mascot? (Domo-kun & NHK)

Back in the mid-2000's, you couldn't go anywhere without seeing the face of Domo-Kun, a square, brown monster that took over the internet, and even the real world. But did you ever wonder how did Domo get so popular, who made Domo, or what exactly was Domo? Well, I did, so I decided to find out the story of the rise and fall of Domo, and whatever happened to the little guy.
Oh, also I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!
