Who Is Dudu? The Bear Behind the Couple
Dudu is one half of the internet's favorite cartoon couple. Paired with Bubu the panda, Dudu appears in countless stickers, GIFs and short animations that capture everyday relationship moments: cuddles, playful teasing, sulky faces, surprise hugs and lots of love. Fans share these moments with partners, friends and family because they feel so relatable.
What makes Dudu special is how expressive the bear is. In a single sticker pack you can see Dudu happy, shy, grumpy, sleepy and head-over-heels in love. That range is a big reason Dudu works so well as a plushie or on a mug: there is a Dudu mood for every occasion.
