Creation
Like most other OS-tans, Inori Aizawa was not created by Microsoft, being the creation of Collateral Damage Studios as a response to existing -tans for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. After posting an early design[1] on facebook and getting numerous positive feedback, CDS fleshed out her design and Inori was born[2]. She saw a swift rise to popularity, drawing more than 20,000 likes and comments and close to 2,000 shares across all of Facebook.
"This initial success led to an extended partnership between Microsoft Singapore and the Studio to officially adopt the character as a mascot for Internet Explorer. Additionally, Microsoft also partnered with Nanyang Technological University’s CACANi Animation to develop a short two-minute promotional video[3] introducing Inori."[4]
