Kabosu owner says CATE and similar tokens are unauthorized, backs Own The Dog

Atsuko Sato, the owner of Kabosu, said she has no connection to CATE token projects circulating in the cryptocurrency market and that her social media content was used without permission to promote fake tokens. She said an Instagram post was repurposed to suggest involvement she did not authorize, and added that some large X accounts helped spread the posts. Sato said Own The Doge is the only project she has officially authorized to manage intellectual property rights tied to Kabosu and the Doge brand. She said the only cryptocurrency projects officially affiliated with her are $DOG and COCORO, the latter launched with the Own The Doge team on Base in 2025. Sato said proceeds from those projects would support pet care and animal protection organizations backed by withkabosu, and urged users to rely only on official statements.
