History

With the rising anti-Japan movement in China in 2010 following a fishing boat collision incident[1] nearby a Japanese island that was under international dispute[2] Vip@2ch forum members planned to fight back with the creation of a moe character as a joke. The term 日本鬼子 (rì bĕn guǐ zǐ), is an ethnic slur meaning "demonic Japanese" in Chinese language and made a common appearance in political demonstrations. Hinomoto Oniko was born after translating the slur, 鬼子, using Japanese readings. By making a moe character VIPPERs aimed to replace the usage of the slur in cyberspace.

Illustrations were recruited publicly and the final design art was decided on November 1, 2010. The voicebank was finally on distribution on December 25 of the same year.

Trivia

  • While Oniko Hinomoto was an UTAU voicebank created by the denizens of the vip@2ch message board, her official status as a VIPPERloid is undecided by her creators. During production, she was simply called "Ogreloid" at one point during development. Her project developers have stated that they are fine with users classifying her as a VIPPERloid.[3]
  • An official 3D model created by Kio for the MikuMikuDance program based on Oniko Hinomoto was released for the June 2011 issue of the Windows100% magazine.
