It's probably an HDMI stick if it's in the HDMI slot (so not really a USB device).
Amazon's Fire TV Stick will run Kodi if it is side loaded, but they aren't a great performing solution, and Amazon don't really go out of their way to support Kodi and similar apps.
You can get countless Android HDMI TV sticks - but they're mostly all a bit rubbish.
There are some Intel HDMI TV sticks (like the Intel Compute Stick) - which will either run Windows 8.1/10 or Linux - but they also have their limitations.
What are your main aims for your Kodi use? Playing back content from a NAS or USB local storage?

It sounds as the Amazon Fire Stick. And no, do not know of any stock USB device with Kodi pre-loaded.
AFTV (non-rooted + Kodi)
