So as I posted earlier I aped into @suicarabbitcto $うさぎ before even diving into the lore…
In early September 2026, it was announced that the mascot of Tokyo's transit smartcard since 2001—will officially retire in March 2027.
To choose a successor, the company opened a public vote between three final candidates:
Candidate A: a cheerful, traditionally cute orange squirrel.
Candidate B (the meme): a tall, deeply unsettling purple rabbit with a wide, unblinking smile.
Candidate C: an orange creature carrying a tiny mole in a crossbody bag.
While Suica Rabbit was intended to symbolize "listening to voices and leaping into the future," the internet immediately branded the purple rabbit as "creepy," "uncanny," and "vaguely threatening.”
Social media users instantly fell in love with its chaotic energy. And a wave of viral fan art, hand-drawn animations, and AI-generated memes erupted across X and TikTok.
Popular memes depict the purple rabbit trapped in "The Backrooms," physically beating out the other candidates, or staring directly into commuters' souls on train platforms.
Suica Rabbit has become the overwhelming internet favorite to win the election which takes place later this month and the winner announced in November.
If you’re in the community please
Let me know in comments if I’m understanding the backstory correctly and if there is anything else I should know..

Nscale recently told prospective investors it had about $103B in total contracted revenue, with contracts averaging 5.7 years, though that figure was described as illustrative rather than formal revenue guidance.
