Some anonymous [[Futaba]] artists introduced a setting for its comic strip where a [[Toshiaki]] owns a PC. Then anonymous artists, all of a sudden included a group of women in which they personify every operating system the ''Toshiaki'' owns, in which also they didn't gave an explanation on how were they formed or did appeared or born in the setting. These group of women are the [[List of OS-tans|OS-Tans]]. The first batch of OS-tans created are all personifying a series of Windows OS, which means they are portrayed as sisters from each other. The series of Windows OS that was personified includes [[Windows_3.1|3.1]], [[NT-tan|NT]], [[95-tan|95]], [[CE-tan|CE]], [[InuT-tan|NT Workstation]], [[98-tan_and_98SE-tan|98  98SE]], [[Me-tan|ME]], [[2k-tan|2000]], [[XP_Family|XP]] and [[2003_Server|Server 2003]]. The OS-tans obviously considers the ''Toshiaki'' their master and lives with him. They almost have the traits of the operating system they respectively represent. Not only do they help their master on maintaining things that are technically related to computers, but they also do his chores and obligations around the house. That setting on those comic strips became temporary at first, until all Futaba artists accepted it and followed popularly.

Other than the Windows sisters, other operating system such as [[MacOS]], [[Linux]], and [[Lindows|Linspire]] were also given a personification and commonly appeared with the Windows sisters at that time. Followed by the personification of [[OS9|MacOS9]] along with the conversion of the personified MacOS to be known now as the personification of the MacOSX (''not to be confused with +Nijiura+ concept of OSX catgirls, [http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/Introduction#.2BNijiura.2B See Below]''). Currently so the personification of [[Vistan|Vista]] as well.  
Other than the Windows sisters, other operating system such as [[MacOS]], [[Linux]], and [[Lindows|Linspire]] were also given a personification and commonly appeared with the Windows sisters at that time. These were soon followed by the personifications of[[OS9|MacOS9]] and the eventual conversion of the generalized MacOS to be the personification of the entire Mac OSX line. (''not to be confused with +Nijiura+ concept of OSX catgirls, [http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/Introduction#.2BNijiura.2B See Below]''). While not included initially, a personification of [[Vistan|Vista]] has been drawn up as well.  


Futaba artist also started to draw male counterparts at that time. They are known as the [[OS-kuns]] (OS君). Although some non-OS male characters exist for programs and hardware. For example, [[Norton Antivirus]] is usually portrayed as a creepy looking, possibly lecherous old doctor.

Futaba also includes their own memes to be shown along with the OS-tans. Most notable memes includes [[Yamada]], [[WE|WE (Taeko)]] and [[Pizza|Pizza-tan]].

Since popular in Futaba, OS-tans were also seen in other japanese imageboards as well. Such as +Nijiura+ (''not to be confused with the nijiura board on Futaba''). +Nijiura+ mostly makes three-dimensional works such as CG illustrations and wallpapers than two-dimensional works (drawn pictures) and comic strips.

Such as +Nijiura+ (''not to be confused with the nijiura board on Futaba''). +Nijiura+ makes three-dimensional works such as CG illustrations and wallpapers more so than two-dimensional works (drawn pictures) and comic strips.  


+Nijiura+ produced their own concept of MacOSX. Since Futaba's concept is the conversion from the personification of [[MacOS]], +Nijiura+ 's concept was to expand it into every different big cat given codenames such as '''''[[OSX_Cheetah|Cheetah]], [[OSX_Puma|Puma]], [[OSX_Jaguar|Jaguar]], [[OSX_Panther|Panther]], [[OSX_Tiger|Tiger]]''''' and soon to be '''''[[OSX_Leopard|Leopard]]'''''. Almost same applies to their own concept of [[Vistan| Windows Vista]], in which designs have been expanded into Vista's several editions such as '''''Ultimate, Home Premium, Home Basic, Business''''' and '''''Enterprise'''''.
+Nijiura+ produced their own concept of the Mac OSX line, dividing up each new release into its' own character. +Nijiura+ felt the generic personification of Futaba's [[MacOS]] was inadequate, and choses to expand it using the release codenames such as '''''[[OSX_Cheetah|Cheetah]], [[OSX_Puma|Puma]], [[OSX_Jaguar|Jaguar]], [[OSX_Panther|Panther]], [[OSX_Tiger|Tiger]]''''' and '''''[[OSX_Leopard|Leopard]]'''''. A similar sentiment was applied to [[Vistan| Windows Vista]], for which designs have been expanded into Vista's several editions including '''''Ultimate, Home Premium, Home Basic, Business''''' and '''''Enterprise'''''.


+Nijiura+ currently included a section for the personification of [[BeOS]].
