Pester-chan (Japanese: 掻き口説くちゃん) is the official mascot of the anime fansite, Kakikudoku.
History
Pester-chan, who's real name is Meiwaku Mirai (Japanese: 迷惑 未来) represents the anime dedicated website, Kakikudoku, as well as the associated Tumblr blog.[1]
She was drawn in the summer of 2024, and made public in June of 2024. Notably being a drawable character on her artist's artfight profile.[2]
It is noted that her real name, "Meiwaku", is a reference to the MOSAIC.WAV song, "Meiwaku Mailing Girl". The song title translates to "Spam Mailing Girl"[3], implying that Pester-chan's real name is technically "Spam". Though her creator notes that Meiwaku also just generally means "annoyance".[2]
This complies with the site's name "Kakikudoku", which translates to "Pester" or "Annoy".[1]
Portrayals
Pester-chan is always portrayed as a girl with green eyes, and purple hair. Her hair is put into a ponytail. This was made in order to resemble her twin sister. Both of which have ponytails.
Her twin sister, Pencil-chan, is the mascot of Kakikudoku's sister site and related doujin circle, PENCILCASE SOFT.[4]
It is noted that Pester-chan and Pencil-chan do not get along very well. This is portrayed through a site easter egg on PENCILCASE SOFT's homepage. If you click on a page that has not yet been made public on the PENCILCASE SOFT website, you're greeted with an image of Pester-chan with one foot standing on a Pencil-chan who appears to be dead that reads, "THIS PAGE DOESN'T EXIST YET". The bottom of the page reads, "pester-chan wins in the end :3".[5]
Pester-chan is an aspiring programmer and huge NEET. She never goes outside and instead writes about anime online all day. She has a knack for being pretentious about the anime she watches, and loves to complain. She has a sort of Himedere personality. She's extremely smug.[2]
