Internet Folk Figure. Balltze, best known as "Cheems," was a Shiba Inu dog that became an iconic figure in the world of memes. The meme features a picture of a Shiba Inu with a speech style characterized by misspellings and irregular capitalization, creating a humorous and endearing effect. Born in Hong Kong, she was adopted by Kathy, a fashion designer from Kowloon, when Balltze was one year old. In 2017, a photo of Balltze seated on the floor was shared on Balltze's Instagram account. However, it wasn't until June 2019 that the same image was shared on Reddit, setting off a viral sensation. The virtual character Cheems, an incarnation of Balltze, gained fame due to her penchant for "cheemsburgers" and her distinct manner of speech, adding the letter "m" into words. The meme became popular on various social media platforms and has been widely shared and referenced in online communities, becoming part of the trend of internet memes involving animals. Cheems achieved international recognition, transcending language barriers, and her owner signed agreements with a management company and a toy company to sell merchandise. Balltze passed away as a result of complications from thoracentesis surgery.
