Hattoushin Mona
Hattoushin Monā (八頭身モナー, lit. “Eight Heads Tall1) Mona”) is a tall, well-proportioned variant of Mona that emerged in 2channel's /mona/ board on September 25, 2001 to spite >>1-san.2) They are also known as Hattoushin (八頭身), though this name is significantly more vague.
Despite being over two decades old, the character is mainly remembered for their incredibly dynamic poses that one particular variant has been seen on Twitter with the Lenny kaomoji.3) On niche Western textboards, he is in those extremely common teacher and student threads.

On September 25, 2001, an anonymous user made a thread about how an eight heads tall Mona would be gross, incidentally summoning the eight heads tall Mona over the next 24 hours.4) At some point, the user became “>>1-san” (>>1さん, Ichi-san), a timid Mona variant with flowing hair, and a funny cat-and-mouse, unrequited relationship would form between Hattoushin and >>1-san.

Notes
- If you're translating “>>1-san”, you may need to omit the dash in the name since textboard software usually generates a link that captures every post (>>1-) instead of the first post alone (>>1).
