Haganeiro is the co-developer of the drawing hide-and-seek game Meccha Chameleon, alongside Lemorion. As of July 11, 2026, the game had sold over 15 million copies on Steam, and Haganeiro's social media account is one of the two official accounts for the game.
Haganeiro is one half of the two-person development team behind Meccha Chameleon, a multiplayer hide-and-seek game that launched on Steam on June 10, 2026. The game's explosive popularity-over 10 million copies sold within two weeks and more than 15 million by early July-brought attention to the small team. On June 28, 2026, co-developer Lemorion warned players about fake social media accounts impersonating the game, stating that the only official accounts are his own and Haganeiro's, and that the only official Discord server is the one listed on the Steam store page.
On July 11, 2026, Haganeiro and Lemorion released update 2.6.0 for Meccha Chameleon. The update added the official collaboration map "HIKAKIN Museum," themed around YouTuber HIKAKIN, along with controller support (alpha version), region tags for Japan, South Korea, and East Asia, and various bug fixes and adjustments. The collaboration had been previously teased under the label "collaboration with a famous Japanese person." The game is available for 790 yen on PC via Steam and supports GeForce NOW.

The developer of "Meccha Chameleon," known as Lemorion, has warned players about fake social media accounts impersonating the game's official presence. In a statement, Lemorion said that accounts other than his own and co-developer Haganeiro's are unrelated, and that the only official Discord server is the one listed on the Steam store page. The warning comes as the game continues to see explosive popularity, having sold over 10 million copies within two weeks of its June 10 release on PC via Steam. Separately, the game's latest update, version 2.2.0, introduces a system that adds randomness to maps, starting with the "Hide-and-Seek Mansion" stage. The update also adds 1.4x and 1.7x body size options for the character "Cube," and fixes several bugs including issues with paint mode, oversized characters getting stuck on stairs, and cloud save failures. The developer plans to apply random elements to all maps in future updates. "Meccha Chameleon" is a multiplayer hide-and-seek game where players paint their characters to blend into backgrounds and objects.
