Miharu

Not a dolphin. Yangtze finless porpoise. And he isn’t smiling: his jaw curves up permanently and there is nothing he can do about it.

Why it never changes

The mouthline of Neophocaena curves sharply upward where the maxilla meets the mandible, and no muscle attaches that could pull it back down. He looks the same feeding, socializing, and under stress.

Without a beak the face sits on a single plane, closer to a human infant’s proportions than a dolphin’s. Low-set eyes, round forehead, smooth skin. People read an expression into it because the geometry invites them to.

He is not happy. He has no choice, which is roughly how most people get through a Tuesday.

  1. Photographed at Miyajima

    A visitor posts the picture to ZooChat, a forum for aquarium people, in an album labeled Miyajima Public Aquarium. No caption, no joke intended.

  2. It becomes a reaction image

    A post quoting it with the porpoise attached does 7.6M views and 51K likes. It is no longer a picture of an animal. It is a face people borrow to say something.

  3. GameStop posts him

    Within days, so do BuzzFeed, T-Pain, CoinMarketCap, and four exchanges. Nobody coordinated any of it. The token runs to $19M, roughly 4,500x from launch, and pump.fun lists it as the week’s top coin by all-time high.

He came up in this class

Fall 2024 ran a short, strange season where random animals became shorthand for a feeling. A pygmy hippo, a squirrel, a frog, a penguin, and a porpoise who is not a dolphin.

AcquireHow to buy

Contract address

This is the only contract. Check every character before you swap.

Install Phantom, Solflare, or Coinbase Wallet. Write the recovery phrase down on paper. Nobody legitimate will ever ask you for it.

Buy SOL on Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken and send it to your wallet address. Keep a little spare for network fees; they are fractions of a cent.

Go to Raydium or Jupiter and connect the wallet.

Set SOL as the input and paste the contract address as the output. Confirm the amount, approve in your wallet, done.

QuestionsThings people actually ask

Yes. He is a male finless porpoise born 3 May 2022, living at the Miyajima Public Aquarium in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima. He has no idea any of this happened.

Because “smiling dolphin” is easier to say than “Yangtze finless porpoise.” The internet chose wrong and committed. We stopped fighting it a while ago.

Nothing. It is a meme token. There is no product, no staking, no yield, and no roadmap. What it has instead is a revoked mint authority, a revoked freeze authority, a burned liquidity pool, and close to ten thousand holders. Anyone promising you more than that is selling something.

There is no team, and no. The LP tokens are burned, so nobody can withdraw the pool. Mint authority is revoked, so no new supply can appear. Both are on-chain and take about ten seconds to check on Solscan. Do that rather than taking our word for it.

Fair question. Good aquariums run breeding and research programs that feed back into wild conservation, and Miyajima is known for its work with these animals. The wild population is dealing with poaching, boat strikes, pollution, and overfishing. We think the awareness is worth it. People who disagree have a point.

Give money to the groups below. They do the actual work and none of it depends on us.
