Tōko Madobe (Japanese: 窓辺とおこ, Madobe Tōko) is an OS-tan that personifies Microsoft Windows 10.
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).
