About
ISIS-chan (Japanese: ISISちゃん, Aishisu Chan) is a moeanthropomorphized character for the jihadist rebel group Islamic State (IS) created by users of the Japanese text board site 2channel. Similar to the story behind the birth of Hinomoto Oniko in 2010, ISIS-chan was conceived as part of an online effort to counter terrorist propaganda by disrupting the search-engine optimization (SEO) profile of relevant keywords with images of a moe character.
Origin
On January 24th, 2015, a user on 2channel’s /news4vip/ board[1] submitted a thread titled “Let’s make ISIS into a moe girl and send it to them!” with the intention of Googlebombing the search engine’s image search results for “ISIS” with anime character illustrations." Soon, the physical features and personality of the proposal character were determined through “anchor designation,” a popular forum game in which the specifications of a proposed idea are randomly selected through a lottery of specific post numbers as pre-designated by the original poster.

Spread
That same day, dozens of anonymous illustrators immediately reacted to the thread and began posting ISIS-chan illustrations. Meanwhile, unlike the Crappy Collage Grand Prix on Twitter, 2channel users formulated the guidelines for ISIS-chan creations to give sufficient considerations to Muslims, Islam, the hostages and their families from the very beginning. And they’re trying to carefully operate the mission, fill Google’s suggestions/image search results for IS by ISIS-chan and beggar the terrorism on the web, via their own Twitter account[2], blog[3], wiki page[4], Tumblr blog[5] and the hashtag“#ISIS Illustration Festival” (#ISISイラスト化祭り), “#ISISちゃん” and “#ISIS_chan” on Twitter.[6]
