# Moetron Moetron, known in Japan as KimeKona, is a community-made anime chimera character stitched together from features of various moe girls, built around a Konata Izumi template. She started on Futaba Channel's img board in late 2009 as trolling of a Lucky Star harasser, then got renamed Moetron when 4chan's /a/ board adopted her on May 7th, 2010. ## Origin The character started on img, one of the /b/-style boards on the Japanese anonymous imageboard Futaba Channel (2chan), in late 2009 or early 2010[1]. She came out of a running gag aimed at a troll nicknamed Konashine (こな死ね, roughly "Die, Kona"), who spammed Lucky Star threads on the board with "Die! Konata... Die!" every time someone posted Konata Izumi[2]. To bait him, img anons started churning out mashups of Konata fused with other anime characters to test how much "Konata essence" an image still needed to set him off. That series is called konachan, konachan! or konachang, and early illustrations were archived on Pixiv by the creators[4]. Even after the troll stopped, users kept iterating on one specific Konata template until a single composite got a fixed name: KimeKona[1]. The related exploitable series of that Konata cutout is known as KonaCora (こなコラ, "Konata Collage") on both img and Pixiv[6]. The character crossed over to 4chan's /a/ board on May 7th, 2010, where posters renamed her Moetron[3]. - **Platform:** Futaba Channel (img board) / 4chan /a/ (viral spread) - **Creator:** Anonymous (Futaba Channel img users) - **Date:** 2009 ## Overview Moetron is a fictional anime girl assembled from parts of many other moe characters, using Konata Izumi from Lucky Star as the base template[1]. Japanese users call her KimeKona (キメこな), an abbreviation of Kimee Konata (きめぇこなた, "Creepy Konata") or Kimera Konata (キメラこなた, "Chimera Konata")[1]. Her design piles on mismatched eyes, hair, and outfit pieces, and artwork often shows visible stitching on her body to hint at the parts she was pieced together from[3]. Fans describe her as having a dissociative personality that flips between tsundere, kuudere, and yandere modes in the same scene[3]. Her canon birthday is May 7th, the date she first landed on the English-speaking web[3]. The character sits between "abomination" and pure moeblob, and both readings are part of the joke. ## How It Spread Early threads on /a/ tended to feature just the raw template image and initially went nowhere. That changed once anons began posting original fan-art of the character, at which point she got a real foothold on the board[3]. May 7th became her recognized birthday, and /a/ still runs anniversary threads for her every year; a sixth-birthday thread from 2016 was archived on yuki.la[5]. From imageboards she moved onto general art platforms. Pixiv hosts a long tag history for both キメこな and the KonaCora exploitable series, tracking Japanese fan-art of the character[6]. DeviantArt and Tumblr picked her up as well, giving Western artists a place to post their own edits[3]. She never broke out into mainstream meme circles the way other anime-derived characters did, but she stuck around inside anime imageboard culture as a recurring inside joke. ## How to Use Moetron art typically starts from the Konata Izumi base pose and swaps in features from other anime characters: one eye from one show, hair from another, an outfit piece from a third[6]. A common convention is to leave visible stitching or seams between the parts, selling the chimera premise[3]. Personality writing often flips between tsundere, kuudere, and yandere within the same scene to play up the dissociative gag[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Moetron?
