## What is Akabekun?

Akabekun is a little red cow that rides on your dashboard and nods along with your car.

It comes from Japan. The akabeko — "red cow" in the dialect of Aizu, Fukushima — is a traditional papier-mâché toy whose head bobs at the slightest touch. Legend says a red cow tirelessly hauled timber to build a temple in Yanaizu and never gave up. For centuries akabeko have been given as charms for good health and good luck, and "-kun" is the friendly suffix Japanese mascots wear. So Akabekun is your lucky companion for the road.

Brake hard and it flinches. Hit a pothole and its eyes spin. Drive smoothly and it beams. Every trip gets a smoothness score — not to judge you, but to make calm driving a little game.

SMOOTH DRIVING, MADE VISIBLE
• A 3D bobblehead that reacts to braking, starts, turns and bumps
• A score for every trip with a clear breakdown: what cost points and why
• Potholes never cost points — the road isn't your fault
• Tap "Forced?" on a brake you made to avoid danger, or mark a trip as a passenger ride
• A 30-day driver score and a graph of every trip

NEW FRIENDS FOR SMOOTH KILOMETERS
• Start with Akabekun and Punk Robot, then unlock new characters by driving smoothly — no purchases
• Grow your bond with each character and fill their passport with stamps

LEND IT TO A FRIEND
• Send your bobblehead to a friend for a few days. It rides with them and comes back with a postcard about the trip

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Trips, routes and sensor data stay on your iPhone

Mount your phone before you drive and never interact with it while driving. Akabekun reacts on its own — there's nothing to tap on the road.
