Character details
95-tan is depicted as a traditional lady from the early modern era of Japan. She is a mature, brown haired woman wearing a pink patterned kimono and hakama, geta and thick sandals. She has a hair ribbon colored and styled roughly in the shape of the Windows logo.
95-tan's is commonly depicted drinking tea, serving meals or doing other housework. One recurring theme is her unfamiliarity with newer, post Win-95 technologies, such as USB devices and broadband internet connections. While appearing to be one of the more relaxed OS-tans, she is also often depicted wielding a katana in an aggressive manner, usually toward the Mac-tans, but also when disciplining troublemakers within her own family. This symbolizes the fact that it was her generation of operating systems that Microsoft finally achieved full dominance of the personal computer market. One comic strip shows her talking to other OS-tans about beating up MacOS; and 95 is commonly portrayed with an overwhelming hatred of the Macintosh OS-tans, particularly her bitter rival MacOS-tan.
Due the popular belief that Mozilla Firefox is incompatible with Windows 95, several OS-tan four-panel comics have been made portraying other OS-tans encouraging 95-tan to think in Russian! and 95-tan's inability to internalize the Russian language enough to accomplish this.
Notes
95-tan wears the traditional attire of a women's college student as seen from the Meiji period to the Taisho period. Since this was the earliest period during the course of the modernization in Japan, a comparison between the modernization of Windows to modernization of Japan is drawn.
The pattern of 95-tan's kimono is based on hana256.bmp, which was used as a desktop wallpaper pattern in the Japanese version of Windows.
