Inori Aizawa is Microsoft Singapore's official mascot character for Internet Explorer. She has dark blonde hair, and fits into the magical girl archetype. Initially created by Collateral Damage Studios in response to -tan designs for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, she was picked up by Microsoft, where, in partnership with Collateral Damage Studios and Nanyang Technological University’s CACANi Animation, they created a 2 minute anime short introducing Inori, which was shown at Anime Festival Asia 2013, as well as posted on YouTube at the same time. She is also the most recent fan made -tan to be picked up by Microsoft, with [[Nanami Madobe | Nanami]] being the last one before her.

Like [[Nanami Madobe]] and the fan-made -tans before her, Inori Aizawa was not created by Microsoft, being the creation of Collateral Damage Studios in response to -tans for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari created by ''"めまして!"''[http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=35872825] and reposted by Danny Choo[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151279376591680], or rather, the lack of Internet Explorer in the drawings, to be specific. After posting an early design[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=568766473141173] on facebook and getting massive positive feedback, CDS fleshed out her design and Inori was born[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=595517983799355]. She saw a swift rise to popularity, drawing more than 20,000 likes and comments and close to 2,000 shares across all of Facebook.

Shortly afterwards, Microsoft Singapore took notice of this, and offered an extended partnership to CDS, and additionally partnered with CACANi Animation Studios at NTU to create what has been called the "Internet Explorer Anime", a short, two minute anime video introducing Inori and showing off her magical girl transformation, which was shown to attendees of AFA13, as well as to the world via YouTube.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHTUlF7NA2o]
