Akachouchin is a girl often seen with 95-kun. Akachouchin is based off of the character Shinku from the Anime/Manga series ''Rozen Maiden''. A Chouchin is a type of paper lantern, while Aka means red, so the character is a silver-haired with a red headdress with red paper lanterns on the sides. Perhaps this is is a sign of the Red Light District, which might coorespond to Akachouchin's frequent inebriation. 95-kun is more often depicted with Akachouchin, who is usually depicted with some sort of container, as it is said that Akachouchin is excellent at making sake (though it is in the rather disgusting way of chewing the ingredients and then spitting them into the pot to ferment). | Akachouchin is a girl often seen with 95-kun.

Daiginjou is a woman often seen with 95-tan. Daiginjou is derived from Suigintou and Kun-kun, both from the ''Rozen Maiden'' series. Like Akachouchin, Daiginjou is often associated with alcohol, but instead of making it, she serves it as a bartender. She is a tall, reubenesque blonde woman with brown dog ears under a small maid ruffle, flanked by red paper lanterns. Her hair varies in length depending on the picture, some depicting it in a slightly shorter cut than 2k-tan, some depicting it longer than 95's. She is a frequent companion of 95-tan and Kiri-san, the three seeming to be drinking buddies. | Daiginjou is a woman often seen with 95-tan.

A lone comic[http://www.otakubell.com/os-girls/Gallery/picture.php?/465/category/7] has implied that there might be a romantic relationship between 2k-kun and Daiginjou. | ||

Kiri-san is older than most other net characters, so she is frequently seen hanging out with 2 characters her own age, 95-tan and Daiginjou (95-tan especially; the two seem to be best friends by all the artwork of them). | Kiri-san is older than most other net characters, so she is frequently seen hanging out with 2 characters her own age, 95-tan and Daiginjou (95-tan especially; the two seem to be best friends by all the artwork of them). | ||
====Eigyouseki==== | |||
[[File:Cat boy and dog girl.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Eigyouseki and Daiginjou.]] | |||
Eigyouseki[http://desuchan.net/nij/src/1265397867203.jpg] is a short man with an odd, almost frog or cat-shaped green hat (similar to Finn's from Adventure Time) that he wears all the time. He works in the same office as Yamada, WE-tan, and 2k-kun, and is a member of the circle of friends in that respect. He can be seen commuting to work with 2k-kun, occasionally working overtime, and going out for drinks with his friends (which sometimes includes Daiginjou and the others). Overall, his personality is very kind, though nervous when talking to others. One could say he relies on 2k-kun to be his wing man when talking to new folks. | |||
He has a plain, soft face with small features (including a set of beady-yet-cute eyes) and brown hair, which can often be seen sticking out from underneath the hat. It's uncommon to see him out of office wear. Additionally, he and Jissouseki[http://desuchan.net/nij/src/1263274673614.png] look quite similar, leading to a conclusion that they may be related somehow. | |||
====Shitsuji-kun==== | |||
Shitsuji-kun is a Satyr, technically. However, contrary to what's expected of the species, Shitsuji-kun is calm, polite, and actually quite shy. Perhaps this is due to his name being a play on the words "Sheep" ("Hitsuji") and "Butler" ("Shitsuji"). He dresses formally, and usually behaves in a shy manner. His large, furry sheep legs almost act as a sort of bloomers (and they sometimes are, depending on the rendition), but after that he only wears a shirt, vest, and bowtie. His hair is short yet shaggy, with a slight wave to it, and is somewhere between blonde and silver in colour. He has a crush on Inu-t, who seems to somewhat return his feelings, though is rather oblivious. He has also been shown to be friends with Homeo, and the two consider each other confidantes.[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/20864/comic-hard_translated-homeko-homeo-imuhata_shimuro] | |||
====Waha==== | ====Waha==== | ||
A chibi character based off of the Suigetsu character Yamato Suzuran. Waha got her basis from Suzuran's common exclamation of "Waha!", which Futaba took kindly to, making Waha a seperate character. Waha is done up in extreme chibi style, having a head-to-body ratio of about 2 or 3, with little nubbly limbs and a near constant expression of ^__^ or ＾∇＾. Her clothing consists of a small pair of black shorts, a white shirt with red and white striped sleeves, and a red bandana over short brown hair. Waha's popularity has inspired flash games, animations, and spin-offs with people or characters imitating her classic Waha pose. | [[File:Yamato suzuran on top musu waha choia on bottom.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Top: Yamato Suzuran. Bottom: From Left, Musu, Waha, what appears to be a smaller Waha, and Choia.]] | ||
A chibi character based off of the Suigetsu character Yamato Suzuran, Waha was one of the first Futaba characters, alongside Heika[http://shii.org/knows/Futaba_Channel#Futaba_characters] (both were made in early 2003, before ME-tan). Waha got her basis from Suzuran's common exclamation of "Waha!", which Futaba took kindly to, making Waha a seperate character.

Waha's popularity has inspired flash games, animations, and spin-offs with people or characters imitating her classic Waha pose. | |||
Waha has an older sister, Musu, who is depicted as older, taller, and wearing blue (vs. Waha's red). Musu, like Waha, is based off of Yamato Suzuran. | Waha has an older sister, Musu, who is depicted as older, taller, and wearing blue (vs. Waha's red). Musu, like Waha, is based off of Yamato Suzuran. | ||
Waha also has a 'pet human' named Choia. A Futaba Original, her basis is unclear. She is almost always naked save for a red collar, and has purpleish-grey hair in a long, low ponytail, with a very prominent ahoge (comparable to ME-tan's). | Waha also has a 'pet human' named Choia. A Futaba Original, her basis is unclear, with some sources saying she is another Suzuran derivitave. She is almost always naked save for a red collar, and has purpleish-grey hair in a long, low ponytail, with a very prominent ahoge (comparable to ME-tan's). | ||
====Astaroth==== | |||
[[File:Astaroth.png|200px|thumb|left|Astaroth in a long-sleeved shirt.]] | |||
Astaroth is a curvy, blue-skinned demon girl with large, black, slightly curved horns, long blue hair, and yellow eyes. (Occasionally, she has wings.) She is a character from a TCG (Trading Card Game) called Shinrabanshou, which is packaged with candy or chocolate and sold by Bandai. Astaroth is the most well-known character of the game. | |||
In her downtime, she enjoys wearing tshirts with offensive or bizarre slogans and lives in an apartment with Yamada-tan, WE-tan and Spider Man. Astaroth seems laid back, or somewhat clueless of the society around her. While there was more art of her with the OS-tans in the past, it seems to be harder to come by now. In the past, the -tans she was mostly pictured with included Yamada-tan, WE-tan, 95-tan, and perhaps 2k-tan. | |||
====Yabai==== | |||
[[File:Yabai.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Yabai-san.]] | |||
Yabai, while not technically one of the Nijiura Maids, is a maid that was created on Nijiura. She's a Harpy based off the Snowy Owl, after an anon posted a couple panels of ''Jagan wa Gachirin ni Tobu'' to the Guro board and it became popular. | |||

They are sometimes shown with the OS-tans. Each one of their names is a pun, which started with the first maid, Medoi. Her name is a pun on "Meido", the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "Maid". "Medoi" is also a slang term for "Bother", so Medoi thinks everything is troublesome. | ||

====Chikoi-san==== | |||
Chikoi[http://www.shii.org/maids/chikoi], from "Chikkoi" (ちっこい, "Small") is about the size of Windows CE. Her teeny-tiny stature leads to much abuse by Toshiaki, though whether or not this is intentional is unexplained. Due to her size, she hangs out with CE-tan most often, though she also hangs out with the net characters[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/325655/astaroth_-shinrabanshou-black_sclera-blue_hair-blu] Makibishi (the small, grey, pointy one) and Mobiko (the small green one in the chef's hat). Chikoi has short blue hair and an orange maid's uniform. | |||
====Dorei-san==== | |||
Dorei[http://desuchan.net/nij/res/81.html] is a slave. She is stoic about her plight, never showing much emotion. The most obvious "joke" here is that she is the only dark-skinned maid. She exhibits great strength, possibly gained from being shackled to large weights constantly. She hangs around with Shitai-san and Yakui-san frequently. Her uniform is tattered at the bottom, and varies in colour, usually sticking to a dirty olive green. | |||
====Hidoi-san==== | |||
Hidoi[http://www.shii.org/maids/hidoi] (ひどい, Awful), is terrible at everything she does. Like ME-tan, she tries quite hard, but sadly she ends up failing even more than the Freeze Master herself. She is especially terrible at cooking, and is often subjected to abuse due to her uselessness. To add insult to injury, she also frequently experiences bad luck. She has brown hair held back in a pair of twintails, and a light greyish-blue outfit. | |||
====Inai-san==== | |||
Inai[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=inai] ("not here") is an invisible maid. Typically she's depicted in pictures as a bowl of food with no one at it, or a shadow. When she DOES appear, she has long black hair and a green camo maid's uniform. | |||
====Kudoi-san==== | |||
Kudoi[http://www.shii.org/maids/kudoi] takes her name from "Kudoi" (くどい, "Verbose"). She is a chatterbox, often filling up the page with meaningless prattle. Despite this, she's very sweet. She keeps her orange hair tied up in a ponytail, and her outfit is pink. Her birthday is the 11th of October. | |||
====Kurai-san==== | |||
Kurai[http://www.shii.org/maids/kurai] gets her name from "Kurai" (暗い or くらい, "Gloomy") or "Kuro" (黒, "Black"). Her outlook on life is grim, and she sometimes dresses in Gothic-Lolita style. She doesn't really smile. She keeps her black hair tied back in braids, wears glasses and a lemonhead hairclip, off-setting her black maid's outfit. | |||
====Madoi-san==== | |||
Madoi[http://www.shii.org/maids/madoi] gets her name from "Madoi" (惑い or まどい, "Bewilderment"), leading her to share some personality traits with Osaka from Azumanga Daioh. Everything confuses her and she frequently gets lost. She wears a black outfit with bandages on the upper parts of the sleeves, and short red hair. | |||
====Medoi-san==== | |||
Medoi[http://www.shii.org/maids/medoi] was the first of the maids, her name being a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "Maid", "Meido". "Medoi also happens to be slang for "Bother" or "Troublesome", leading her personality to be apathetic as she thinks everything is a burden. In some instances, she seems to be Toshiaki's personal Maid. She has a pet cat, also named "Medoi". Her maid outfit is a greyish brown, and her birthday is April 21st, 2004. | |||
====Modoi-san==== | |||
Modoi[http://www.shii.org/maids/modoi] takes her name from "Modokashii" (もどかしい, "Feeling Impatient"). As a result, she is extremely impatient and easily agitated. She gets little work done because she doesn't have the patience for it. Her outfit is blue, and her birthday is the 18th of July. | |||
====Nemui-san==== | |||
Nemui[http://www.shii.org/maids/nemui] takes her name from "Nemui" (眠い or ねむい, "Sleepy") or "Nemuri" ("To Sleep"). She is sleepy constantly and carries a pillow with her everywhere in case of an accidental nap. She seems to suffer from narcolepsy, though the naps she takes doesn't aleviate her tiredness at all. She wears a deep brown outfit, matching her shoulder-length brown hair. She also wears glasses. | |||
====Shibai-san==== | |||
Shibai[http://www.shii.org/maids/shibai] is an actress maid who wears makeup, unlike the other maids. She wears a red and gold Cheongsam under her apron, and keeps her sea-green hair cropped into a bob cut. Not much information could be found on her. | |||
====Shitai-san==== | |||
Shitai[http://www.shii.org/maids/shitai], from "Shitai" (死体 or したい, "Corpse") and the phrase "Shitai" (したい, "I want to Do It"), is a very lewd corpse. Unlike some other net characters that have been seen, she is NOT a zombie; she is a fully dead, immobile, unsentient corpse. Her skin has turned to a sickly ashen blue, but despite this, she manages to stay pretty. She sports long emerald-green hair and a dark orange maid outfit, which due to "uneartly spirits", always seems to be pushed up, revealing her panties in some way. This, combined with her "behavior" (whatever the behavior of a corpse can be called) has earned her a reputation as a bit of a nymphomaniac. She is often seen in the company of one or more other maids, usually being dragged around in some way. | |||
====Usai-san==== | |||
Usai[http://www.shii.org/maids/usai] gets her name from Usagi (兎 or うさぎ, "Rabbit") and "Urusai" (ウルサイ, "Shut Up!"). She is a bunny girl who only wants peace and quiet, but never gets her message across properly. Instead of saying "Urusai", it comes out "Usai" ("Shup!"), meaning no one takes her seriously. She wears a bright blue outfit (matching the bunny ear headband she has) and sports long, blonde hair, and a clock necklace. | |||
====Yakui-san==== | |||
Yakui[http://www.shii.org/maids/yakui] has her name come from "Yakuji" (やくじ, "Medicine"). She is addicted to pharmaceuticals and is often pictured drooling or with a crazed look in her eye. One of the maids featured in the fighting game Nijikaku, one of her attacks involves transporting the opponent to a spinning, brightly and starkly yellow and purple striped world, leading one to believe that she experiences psychadelic hallucinations regularly. She has been known to give out advice on medicines to passerby in the drug store (noteably Homeo), though whether this was good or bad advice is subject to speculation. She is frequently seen donning handcuffs, due to her nature being dangerous. She also wears a light blue outfit with bob-cut purple hair. | |||
====Yowai-san==== | |||
Yowai[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=yowai] ("frail") is, like her namesake, fragile. She is near-constantly depicted with blood coming out of her mouth or nose, and is usually quite weak. She wears back-length black hair and a brown uniform, and a cross around her neck. | |||
---- | |||
====The Nijiura Chinese Maids==== | |||
The Nijiura Chinese Maids are a group of 13 Maids based off the Chinese Constellations and Mythology. Unlike the original Nijiura Maids, the Chinese Maids' names are based off the animal they represent, rather than a pun. They include Seiryuu(The Dragon)[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=seiryuu], Suzaku(The Pheonix)[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=suzaku], Byakko(The Tiger)[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=byakko], Genbu(The Snake)[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=genbu], Kouryuu[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=kouryuu], Hakuryuu[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=hakuryuu], Kokuryuu[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=kokuryuu], Shiyuu[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=shiyuu-san], Kirin(based off the legendary giraffe-like creature of the same name; it should be noted that Kirin is also a type of Japanese beer)[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=kirin_%28nijiura_maid%29], Konton (based on the Hundun; bears a striking resemblance to ME-tan and Inu-T)[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?nordirect=1&title=konton_%28nijiura_maid%29], Kyuuki[http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=kyuuki], Toukotsu[http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=toukotsu], and Toutetsu[http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=toutetsu]. | |||
=====Kyuuki and the Si-xiong(Four Friends)===== | |||
[[File:Kyuuki.png|200px|thumb|left|Kyuuki getting into trouble.]] | |||
Kyuuki is a Maid character that is an odd combination of animal parts; She has paw-like hands and feet, a cat's tail, animal ears, and a pair of wings. Most of these are different colours than each other, and different colours than her skin. Other than that, she is seen sporting a pixie cut, a maid's outfit, and glasses. | |||
Kyuuki is commonly shown harassing OSX-kun, with which she seems to have a fascination bordering on obsession (their encounters have run the gambit from friendly to near-molestation). Perhaps due to her cat tendencies, she might see in him a mate, but over half the time he is striving to get away from her, implying any sort of relationship is at best semi-consensual. | |||
Kyuuki is a member of the Si-xiong, or Four Friends. It is a group of mythical creatures mentioned in Chinese Mythology, and the Nijiura group also consists of Konton, Toukotsu, and Toutetsu. The 4 (especially the first 3) are frequently pictured together in artwork. | |||
===OS-tan Based Characters=== | |||
====Yamada-tan==== | |||
Yamada began life as the candidate to be Windows 98. However, due to her common OL (Office Lady) appearance, she was rejected for being too plain. After the fall from grace, Yamada began her life as a Futaba character, taking up residence in comics with WE-tan, 2k-kun, Astaroth, Eigyouseki, and Daiginjou. Like many older OS-tans, Yamada consistently wishes for a bigger chest, and otherwise lives the life of the average OL (reads manga on the train, occasionally does cute-yet-embarassing things, has dreams of marriage). | |||
Yamada's typical look is a blue skirted suit with white longsleeve button-up shirt and blue vest with the windows logo somewhere on it. Some pictures give her a piece of computer equipment (a hard drive, maybe?) wrapped around her hips like a belt. She has brown eyes and a slightly long bob cut for her brown hair. | |||
====WE-tan==== | |||
Though some sources list WE-tan as simply an ME-tan fangirl, other sources credit her as being Windows Explorer-tan (this is the accepted form on OSC). As Explorer-tan, she is often overlooked in her abilities, being seen as simple and flighty like her idol, ME-tan. On the contrary, WE-tan is one of the harder workers at the office, often having to scold Yamada to get back to work. She shares an apartment with Yamada, Astaroth, and Spider Man. | |||
WE's typical look is almost a bizzaro ME-tan; she dresses in pink and black, with an orange icon (a downward-pointing triangle with a question mark in it)on her chest. She keeps her long, pink hair in braids like ME-tan. | |||
====Pizza-tan==== | |||
