Lucky Cat 2.0: The Majestic Launch of the Upgraded Lucky Mars Cattie
The beloved image and folklore of the maneki-neko (lucky cat) have long captured hearts, symbolizing prosperity and blessings. In a special collaboration, iPASS Corporation and Mars e-Bank.com Inc. present a new chapter in this story—the upgraded Lucky Mars Cattie, jointly designed by award-winning chief designer Mars Taira - MT and artist Lee Keng-Chun.
Inspired by the traditional Japanese lucky cat and infused with the symbolism of one thousand origami cranes, the Lucky Mars Cattie conveys heartfelt wishes for health, longevity, and recovery. It’s a creation that brings people together in the spirit of sharing blessings and sending positive energy.
How do we turn blessings into personalized messages? Embedded with a chip and equipped with the Time Capsule Chip function, each Lucky Mars Cattie features zodiac headpieces and constellation accessories. Representing the four zodiac elements—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—each design corresponds to the twelve zodiac signs, blending Eastern and Western cultural elements with a universal cosmic touch.
The Lucky Mars Cattie is more than just a figurine. It supports iPASS contactless payment, and users can store personalized blessing videos, photos, and messages. With just a tap using an NFC-enabled smartphone as a serial number scanner, your heartfelt wishes come to life. That’s how the Lucky Mars Cattie came to be — and now, our upgraded Lucky Cat 2.0 has officially launched.
Static blessings are transformed into technological connections—messages of fortune, well-wishes, congratulations, and hopes are preserved with heartfelt warmth inside the "Chip Time Capsule.”
Throughout our lives, we create these personalized Chip Time Capsules for loved ones, friends, or even strangers, as tokens of care and blessings—capturing joyful memories that last.
