Who is the KAWS Family? Companion: Arguably the most famous, Companion is a Mickey Mouse-esque figure with 'X' marks for eyes. Available in both a full-bodied and a dissected form, the Companion explores themes of isolation and companionship. Chum: A character derived from the Michelin Man, Chum is another iconic figure from KAWS' repertoire. With its cylindrical shape and similar 'X' marked eyes, Chum taps into the same emotional complexity as Companion.
