Hattoushin Mona
Despite being over two decades old, the character is mainly remembered for their incredibly dynamic poses that one particular variant has been borrowed on Twitter with the Lenny kaomoji.3) In the Western textboards, he is in those common 'teacher and student' threads.

On September 25, 2001, an anonymous user made a thread about how the idea of an 'eight heads tall Mona' would be gross or disgusting, thus summoning the eight heads tall Mona.4) At some point, this specific user became '>>1-san', a timid Mona variant with flowing hair, and kicked off a humorous cat-and-mouse game that would be centered around his unrequited relationship with them.

Notes
- Yes, the original thread was made on the weekend after the September 11 attacks.
- Hattoushin is sometimes romanized as '8toushin', but I don't use this since it'll just reignite the whole '4koma–Yonkoma' issue where people start misreading the number in their language.
- If you are translating '>>1-san', you may need to omit the dash in the name as the textboard software usually generates a link that captures every post (>>1-) instead of the first post alone (>>1).
