History
Ikina seems to have debuted as early as in 2009, according to a Twitter account made for her during that time. [1]. An ASCII.jp article also mentioned Ikina during the same year [2], where customers who purchased AMD Phenom II X4 or Radeon HD 5000 series at T-ZONE.PC DIY SHOP will get free stickers of Ikina.
In the Akiba-PC article first mentioning Kokoro Amada in 2012[3], Ikina's activity as an AMD unofficial support character had decreased during Kokoro Amada's debut.
