Let's start with Lapopo's origins.
Labubu was created by Kasing Lung, a Hong Kong children's illustrator who grew up in the Netherlands. He had drawing skills from a young age, and at that time Kassing was competing in picture book competitions in Europe. He is the first person from Hong Kong to win first prize in the competition.
He won first prize and his work caught the attention of HOW2 Work, a toy company in Hong Kong, so they contacted him saying they wanted to turn Kasing's characters into toys.
In 2015, he started the “The Monsters” line of characters, with Labubu being one of the main characters. And then Pop Mart HOW2 Work has teamed up to create Labubu in the form of an art game. So far, there are 300 styles to choose from, and sales are increasing and becoming more popular.

As for the question, what exactly is lapopo? The answer to this question depends on what Kassing described as Lapopo's inspiration: When he was thinking of all the characters in “Monsters,” he was someone who really loved the characters of dwarves and European fairy tales. Therefore, he wanted to design the elves with two poles: the good-natured dwarf and the fierce-natured dwarf.
This became the idea to create “Labobo”, a dwarf with rabbit ears. He has sharp fangs which he expanded from the picture book “Mysterious Buka” followed by another dwarf, “Tycoco”, a scary looking dwarf with a skull. But he was shy, like an introverted child.
