Character

Inu-T is the personification of Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, often used to depict Windows NT in general. She shares the role with NT-Mama and is known for her carefree and dog-like personality. Inu-T is carefree, sweet, and spunky with an endearing dog-like attitude. She is often portrayed as a comic relief character and is depicted as both daughterly and close with NT-Mama.

Appearance

Inu-T has blue hair kept in a ponytail that transitions to floppy dog ears, a dog's tail, and a collar. She usually wears gloves and boots shaped like paws and a sleeveless light blue one-piece dress.

There's sort of two stories about how she came about as the OS-tan fanbook and Monthy Futaba have something different.

Accordiing to Monthy Futaba, Inu-T came about sometime after the simple drawing for NT-Mama as amidst this, "Me-aki" introduced a dog-like NT character with the text "Dog ears + NT = Inuti... It was fun until I got home, right? Huh?". Artists such as "Unaaki" gradually developed this concept into "NT turned into a dog," which became the prototype for the later "Inuti." This was the drawing by Me-Aki.

A long time later, the name "Toshiaki" disappeared from the default names of Nijiura residents. New boards for original drawings and online characters were created. During this period, Inu-T once again came into the spotlight. As Nijiura was in a state of upheaval, people were saying, "It's more interesting to make something new than something boring; it's more Nijiura-like."

Following this trend, "SRC Aki" posted several items on Nijiura, which were ranked 3rd. This was the drawing by SRC Aki.

According to the Trouble Windows OS-tan Fan Book on June 22, 2004, a thread with the main text consisting of just two words, "Dog Tei," suddenly appeared. The user asked if NT would look dog-eared if she grew her sideburns longer. This quickly became a major topic in July 2004, causing a flurry of activity among users. They were taken aback and exclaimed, "Wow! I don't know," expressing their surprise and confusion at this unexpected development.

As a result, "Inuti" was treated as a separate character, independent of the original "NT Mama."
