Where it came from
Gates-chan is a satirical manga series created by Sakura Tamakichi, originally serialized in the Japanese magazine Weekly ASCII starting in the late 1990s. The series was designed as a humorous anthropomorphic representation of the Microsoft Corporation, personified through the character of a young girl who embodies the corporate culture, software quirks, and business strategies of the company during the height of the Windows 95 and 98 era.
Tamakichi’s illustrative style leans into the lighthearted parody common in late 90s tech-focused manga, utilizing Gates-chan to poke fun at the perceived dominance and occasional frustrations associated with Microsoft's software ecosystem. The series was received as a cult classic among tech enthusiasts, serving as both a critique and a celebration of the era's digital transformation, ultimately documenting a specific moment of tech history through a lens of satirical fiction.
