Shimeji was originally created by Yuki Yamada of Group Finity ( ). The mascot is very configurable its actions are defined through xml and its animations/images can be (painstakingly) customized.
Shimeji-ee is a Windows desktop mascot that freely wanders and plays around the screen. ** Kilkakon note: This is a tweaked version of the original readme, but is largely the same as the normal one.
