Wikipe-tan, a moe anthropomorphization of Wikipedia, similar in theme to an OS-tan. In Japanese animation, "moe" characters are those designed to elicit a protective or loving response from the audience. Moe anthropomorphism is a form of anthropomorphism where moé qualities are given to non-human beings, objects, concepts, or phenomena. Like many moe characters, Wikipe-tan is designed to be a cute young girl.

Wikipe-tan first appeared in the Futaba Channel on an unspecified date, drawn by Japanese Wikipedia user Kasuga~jawiki. She is drawn in the "anime style" seen in many animations in Japan.
