4chan is started by Christopher Poole, aka Moot.

4chan Mascots

“4chan mascots”. These are some popular figures, or “memes” that appears on 4chan.

• The green haired little girl holding the 4chan sign is Yotsuba. It's a character from a Japanese cartoon, but is used by 4chan as mascot.

• The girl with a red W is a personification of a ex-admin.
• the black guy in red bandana is a pornographer. (if you know the name, comment.)
