4chan (YO-tsu-ba) is an American version of the infamous Japanese Futaba Channel. On 4chan, many pictures from around the world, most famous from anime and manga are posted and critiqued. There are also discussion forums in the style of 2ch. Most notably, due to bandwidth concern and growing internaitonal leeching, Japanese computer users cannot access the site unless requesting permission.


Forums including Japanese animation content are Cute, Anime, Yaoi, Hentai, HentaiAlt (for more unconventional erotica), Yuri & Lolicon. Cute Male was later spawned as a preadaptive solution to both content too softcore for the Yaoi board and the (arguably sexist) outcry against male characters in the Cute forum.

Random, Photo, and Sexy(Women) are broader in scope. Random, which allows some degree of commentary akin to light trolling, is treated with some derision as it houses a large amount of SA fans purportedly uninterested in anime content. The catagory is also uncomfortably vague for some as it may contain internet shock site imagery quite randomly (pun intented)

Many fans are vocal in keeping posted pictures apporpriate to boards, especially to even traffic content and avoid incuring anger among forums (Lolicon vs Cute, whose content spills over ocassionally, debates are the most common.) A now tongue-in-cheek commentary to misposting a picture inappropriately is gb2/




Like most message boards, it has its own range of in-jokes, although many image-based gags are permutations from 2ch such as WAHA Suzuran and the OS girls. Most others are based on existing characters from anime and manga.

  • Yotsuba is also the name of a manga and its titular character, an energetic if dim little girl with four green pigtails, who is sometimes joked to be the site's spokeswoman.
  • Bridget from the fighting game Guilty Gear is famous among the boards for purportedly unintentional genderfucking causing debates as to what forums he should be allowed into (he was one joked to be HentaiAlt's spokesman, despite being an otherwise normal male).

Although offical explained as a boy raised in diguise as a female nun and with a recent desire to become more masculine, he is heavily featured in shoutacon and futanari doujinshi, usually in a bottom role, even with girls.


  • Ayanami Rei is sometimes treated with derision when appearing. especially in floods, which were banned for a whole month in reponse at one point. Insipired the mocking cry of ZOMG ITS REI! to pictures of any bluehaired characters.
