Games — Board

Pimori Caro

Five in a row. Easy to learn, hard to master.

Pimori Caro is the classic five-in-a-row strategy game, beautifully reimagined for mobile. Place your stones on the board, build lines of five, and outsmart your opponent — whether that's a friend sitting next to you, someone on your Wi-Fi network, or a player from anywhere in the world.

Small comforts, bright momentum.

Three plush mochi-cat friends star in every Umaru app — one notices a possibility, one makes a tiny plan, and one makes sure there are snacks.

Vixxi, the curious explorer

Vixxi /VICK-see/

The curious explorer

A cloud-tailed mochi-cat who spots a tiny possibility and turns it into an invitation — never far from a butter-yellow pouch full of bright bits.

“A small step can become a bright moment.”

Pimori, the gentle planner

Pimori /pih-MOR-ee/

The gentle planner

Cream-and-strawberry, with a star clip and a rounded pink planner. Pimori turns a vague idea into a friendly little plan that still leaves room for fun.

“A plan should make room for joy.”

Temopi, the comfort-maker

Temopi /teh-MOH-pee/

The comfort-maker

Wrapped in a teal cat-ear hoodie and a lavender blanket, Temopi is first to notice when someone needs a snack, a softer plan or five quiet minutes.

“Rest is part of the adventure.”
