Kewpie® was created as a baby version of the god of love, Cupid. Kewpie first appeared as magazine illustrations and advertisements. Shortly thereafter, Rose began receiving letters from children asking for a Kewpie they could hold. After numerous prototypes the Kewpie doll was introduced in 1913 and remains enduringly popular.
