Opera-tan (Japanese:おぺらたん) is a moe personification of the Opera web browser.
History
Opera-tan's history began with an article by Lawrence Eng published in January 9, 2005[1]. He wrote a recommendation about Opera's branding strategy, including a proposal for Opera to have a moe personification.
In response to the article, the artist temp_h created the design for Opera-tan in January 13, 2005, and other artists in his circle followed suit[2].
An illustration of Opera-tan was uploaded into Wikimedia Commons on January 31, 2007, noting that temp_h has released the work into the public domain.
Character
According to Lawrence Eng's original suggestion, Opera-tan is an elegant but approachable lady wearing opera gloves[1]. She is also portrayed as a magical girl, sometimes carrying a magic wand (representing Opera's wand function).
She is sometimes included as a member of the Moezilla group (Japanese: もえじら組, Moejira-gumi), which are moe personifications of Mozilla applications[3].
