Who is this character, and where is his t-shirt?

A while back I spotted a t-shirt website that sold shirts with this little guy on it. Does anyone know the site, or the name of the character?

There's plenty of sites, but that character is Domo-kun, mascot of NHK TV's satellite channel BS2.

He was popularized in America largely due to Fark, the "monster" chasing after kittens in the "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten" image that was so terribly popular.

Domo-kun has his own TV show in japan. My understanding is that he is a stop motion puppet of some sort... looks like a fuzzy brick.

More Domokun info.

And I got my Domokun T-shirt from JBox.com, but they don't seem to have it listed anymore.

He was popular on fark before that 'chasing kittens' picture!
