Vistake (Japanese: ビスたけ, Bisutake), is an OS-tan that personifies Windows Vista. Despite her status as one of the most famous Windows Vista OS-tan variation, she was also considered controversial back in the day.
Character
She is often depicted as an abrasive, self-deprecating jealous character who tries to express her honest feelings but is too shy to be straightforward. Her hobby is painting, however she tends to harbor jealousy and envy towards "god painters"「 神絵師」a term for highly skilled artists, even reflected in her quote, "God painters really should just die "「神絵師なんてマジ死ねよ」.
Vistake's characterization was a topic of controversy, since a lot of people disliked her for not capturing the characteristics of Windows Vista, instead she seemed to be influenced by her illustrator, Takehiro, who was also known for his jealousy towards "god painters" and his former occupation as a gardener, hence her grass sickle, and the "-take" in her name.
Nowadays Vistake is no longer a source of controversy, as people began to treat her separately from the artist.
Trivia
- Vistake has a younger sister named Visbou びす坊」who also personifies Windows Vista. Unlike her sister, Visbou has an innocent personality.
