2K-tan (Japanese: 2Kたん, 2K-tan), also known as 2000-tan or simply 2K, is an OS-tan that represents Windows 2000.

History

She probably debuted in 2003[1], presumably in a Futaba Channel post which image has been saved in the OS-tan Vault. According to the Trouble Windows OS-tan Fan Book, there were many design variants of 2K-tan, including one by Me-tan's creator[2], but eventually the current design, which were derived from those variants, became the most popular 2K-tan portrayal.

She appeared as one of the main characters in the Trouble Windows Opening published on April 2004.

Portrayals

Personality

See also: Derivatives:2K-tan

2K-tan is often depicted as being the "big sister" and guardian of the other Windows OS-tans, being portrayed as reliable, intelligent and dependable in works including her. In early works from Futaba, she was also depicted as the subject of a running gag depicting a long-running feud between herself and Inu-T where Inu-T and her associates, nicknamed the "Inuinu-dan" would make attempts at breaking into her house. She is also, albeit rarely, depicted as having a drinking habit. [3]

Design

Since 2K-tan's current design were made by multiple designers who are all unknown, it was impossible to know what was originally intended of her characterization. However, some of her derivative portrayals remained consistent.
