“MY MISSION”

Hi again, I can’t wait to see you all at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, and thought you’d like to hear more about my important mission!

I’m here to unite us all through the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 across the three host nations and around the world through the power of Basketball.

Most of all I’m ready to have fun, and learn more about the host countries as I travel and spread the word on the importance of recycling.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Caloy
Kota
Dewi

This is a story about a shared dream.

My story began when three fans met online when they learnt that the tournament was coming to their countries; Caloy from the Philippines, Kota from Japan, and Dewi from Indonesia.

They wanted to create something amazing that could unite people and represent them all.

So they had a crazy idea.

“Let’s build a Basketball robot!”

And you know something, they did!

WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT ME?

The three fans had so many great ideas on how to build me.
See the video below to learn about my unique features.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE!

My curiosity will lead me to meet new fans around the world and teach people about the importance of recycling.

The three fans had a shared dream, and now I am inspired to build more friendships and learn about their cultures and their many qualities... the Kindness of Japan, the Joy of Indonesia, and the Passion of the Philippines.

And the best part will be representing the sport of Basketball on a global scale at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. Win for all!!!!
