Bisuke-tan

Bisuke-tan (ビスケたん), also called Biscuit-tan,¹⁾ is an AA character who is a gijinka of a KFC biscuit.²⁾ She had surfaced on March 26, 2002 in an off-topic thread about KFC biscuits that, for some reason, was made on the adult-oriented BBSPink /ascii2d/ board.³⁾

As a byproduct of erotic delusions, she has a biscuit on her head, short blue hair, a white dress, and blue-white striped panties. It could be said that she played a role in igniting the Gijinka Boom that led to the creation of OS-tans and such.

¹⁾

A “biscuit” is called “bisuketto” (ビスケット) in Japanese, but can be abbreviated as “bisuke” (ビスケ).

²⁾

By “biscuit”, we are referring to the soft bread biscuit, not to the hard cookie biscuit.

⁴⁾

“Sea Chicken” is a Japanese brand of canned tuna sold by Hagoromo Foods. The product is named after how tuna fishermen would shout “chicken of the sea” when they spot an albacore or longfin tuna.

⁵⁾

Surströmming is “shūrusutoremingu” (シュールストレミング) in Japanese. I've decided to use “Surs-tan” instead of “Sur-tan” as it flows better and won't be confused with a leather brand or place in Azerbaijan.

⁶⁾

Surströmming is a fermented, lightly salted Baltic herring. A strong putrid smell is released when the can is open, which is why it's often recommended to open away it in a field or submerged in water.
