The idea for Totobobo was born during the 2003 SARS outbreak when designer Francis Chu, a father of two, struggled to find a protective mask that truly fit his children. Determined to create a safer and more effective solution, he spent countless hours crafting and testing handmade prototypes until he achieved an ergonomic design that fits both adults and children — even as young as five — with precision and comfort.
Francis is also eco-conscious. In 2004, he traded his car for a folding bicycle, choosing to commute sustainably and invest the savings into developing the first Totobobo mask. From the very beginning, his vision combined health protection with environmental responsibility. The concept of reusability was embedded early in the design process, and even the product packaging was developed to minimize waste and environmental impact.
Today, Totobobo continues to embody Francis’s founding values — practical safety, thoughtful design, and respect for the planet — helping families around the world breathe cleaner air while contributing to a more sustainable future.
