Fictional manga character
ISIS-chan on a white background
ISIS-chan (ISIS( アイシス ) ちゃん , aishisuchan ) [ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] is a fictional manga character that originated on the Japanese internet textboard 2channel and was created in 2015 after a series of incidents in which Japanese nationals were kidnapped and beheaded by ISIS . The character is portrayed as a moe -style girl.
Overview
ISIS-chan was originally conceived by users of 2channel as a response to the propaganda of the Islamic terrorism group ISIS .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] The character is a moe anthropomorphism of ISIS and soon became a meme across some Japanese social media.[ 8]
Their intentions were to flood the web with ISIS-chan's images to make the character rank highly in Google's search engine results ,[ 1] [ 2] [ 9] the goal being that an internet search for ISIS would come up with the moe character instead of militant propaganda sites. The campaign has become a part of the social media war that the US and the UK have already launched against ISIS.[ 5]
ISIS-chan received an UTAU voicebank in December 2015.[ 10] [user-generated source ]
