How StackChan Was Born?

StackChan began as Shinya Ishikawa’s open-source project, created to stay alive through community support.

 - Makers joined in—Takao popularized the DIY kits, and Robo8080 added AI—turning it into a global community.

Now, M5Stack launches the first, ready-to-play, endlessly hackable StackChan—kept alive by the community.
