Character Details
Komepo is an OS-tan who is the American version of Windows XP. She is mainly used in contrast XP-tan to show differences in personifying the same OS from different regions.
She has a penchant for rice in contrast to XP’s for beef. She is also said to enjoy sake.
Origin
According to the Futaba Channel wiki, Komepo was inspired by an art of super saiyan XP-tan who's hairclips overlapped to look like the kanji 米 (kome, meaning "rice") and the katakana character ポ (po).
Design
Her design mostly boils down to a blonde version of XP-tan, but with a few other minor differences.
Her hair clip is comprised of an "X" and a "P" layered over each other, giving the look of a "+" over an "X" with a circle in one corner.
While sometimes seen in an XP-tan inspired outfit, Komepo is more frequently depicted in casual wear such as a tank top and daisy duke shorts. This is likely due to views on the ways American's dress.
Relationships
She has a sister named Zenbei.
