*Chan* can be changed to *tan* (たん? > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Installing_Japanese_character_sets>), > and less often, *chama* (ちゃま? > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Installing_Japanese_character_sets>) to > *tama* (たま? > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Installing_Japanese_character_sets>). > These are popularly used in the names of moe anthropomorphisms > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_anthropomorphism>, in which a cute > female, or less often, male character represents an object, concept, or > popular consumer product. Well-known examples include the OS-tan > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-tan> operating system > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system> anthropomorphisms, > charcoal mascot Binchō-tan > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binch%C5%8D-tan_(anime)>. > Baby talk honorifics are also known to be used a lot more in anime and > manga than in real life.
