Tōko Madobe (Japanese: 窓辺とおこ, Madobe Tōko) was a mascot designed by Windows Navi+ that represented Windows 10 in Japan.

History

She was first announced on May 26 2015[1][2][3] by Windows Navi+ as an unnamed mascot for Windows 10, with a contest where participants could choose her name, starting from June 19 2015. The announcement included her first official art and a bio.

In an event held on July 31 evening in Akihabara, her name was revealed to be "Tōko Madobe"[4][5][6][7]. It was first mistakenly announced as "窓辺とうこ" before being corrected to "窓辺とおこ" (both can be transcripted as Madobe Tōko), though the former spelling was actually the one used during the voting.

Nice to meet you, I'm a 17-year-old member of the Madobe Family from 100 years in the future. With the announcement of Windows 10, I'm interested in the year 2015, which is a technological turning point, and I have come to this era! I would like to help you further improve your technology literacy.

  • Age: 17;
  • Origin: a girl of the Madobe Family from 100 years in the future;
  • Personality: talented girl with excellent grades, very knowledgeable about technology, enjoys supporting people who are working hard. A bit spontaneous, which often worries her store manager;
  • Hobbies: cheering, playing online games;
  • Part-time job: rookie at the Akibano Custom Computer Company.

Trivia

  • In the Akihabara Moe Characters Contests, Tōko ranked third in 2020, and fourth in 2015 and 2021.
  • At some point during the naming contest, the following four names could be selected besides the user's own, with the given explanations[8]:
    • Tōko (とうこ): Japanese reading of 10.
    • Anne (アン): pronounced similarly to 1 in French (un, /œ̃/), representing the pinnacle of Windows history.
    • Neon (ねおん): Atomic Number 10. The word Neon comes the Greek word for "new", so it also includes the meaning of a new OS.
    • Sora (そら): 10 (in English) can be written as てん, which can be a reading of the Kanji 天, meaning heaven, just like Sora (そら or 空).
  • Tōko was voiced by Ai Nonaka, as mentioned in her bio.
