Six popular Sanrio Characters — Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, Pochacco, My Melody, and Kuromi — have made their way to Desktop Mate, the next-generation desktop mascot platform developed by Infinite Loop Inc. All six DLC packs were released simultaneously on March 5, 2026. Each character comes with their own set of animations and character voices, bringing charm and personality to your desktop.
Note: The multi-character feature for these characters is only available when used together with other Sanrio characters.
Check out all character animations in the official video.
Desktop Mate Hello Kitty DLC
Hello Kitty, one of Sanrio's most iconic characters loved worldwide, brings her bright and gentle personality to your desktop. The DLC includes animations such as winking, clapping with a happy expression, blushing shyly, and a special motion where she presents a heart when clicked.
Desktop Mate Pompompurin DLC
Pompompurin, the golden retriever boy known for his dark brown beret and laid-back personality — and the winner of the 2025 Sanrio Character Ranking — has arrived on Desktop Mate. His favorite word is "going out" and he dislikes being left home alone. The DLC features animations including dozing off while sitting, energetic dancing while standing, occasional winks, and playful tumbling.
Desktop Mate Cinnamoroll DLC
Cinnamoroll, the white puppy boy born on a cloud far above in the sky with a tail that curls like a cinnamon roll, is quiet but very fond of people. His Desktop Mate DLC captures his fluffy, endearing nature with animations including winking, dozing off, occasional energetic moments, and eating sweets.
Desktop Mate Pochacco DLC
Pochacco, a curious and clumsy dog boy who loves going on leisurely strolls and detours, is now available on Desktop Mate. His DLC includes animations such as bouncing around energetically and occasionally dozing off, capturing his lovable and spirited character.
Desktop Mate My Melody DLC
My Melody, the sweet and cheerful girl who treasures her little brother and the adorable hood her grandmother made for her, brings her kind-hearted charm to Desktop Mate. Her DLC features animations such as winking, spinning around in delight, sparkling eyes, and occasionally drifting off to sleep.
Desktop Mate Kuromi DLC
Kuromi, My Melody's self-proclaimed rival who is rising in popularity worldwide, may look tough on the outside but is secretly quite girly. With her black hood and pink skull as her signature look, Kuromi is on a mission to "Kuromi-fy" the world. Her DLC includes animations such as winking, taking out a book to read, occasionally taking selfies, and letting out a big yawn before dozing off.
