| abstract | - The idea of Uncyclo-tan was first introduced by a group of Wapanese, anti-tuber, Uncylopedia users who wanted desperately to have a secondary option for a mascot to worship. After presenting their case to the powers that be, the group was immediately eliminated by the cabal politely asked to leave — a request to which they happily complied with. Long after the protesters had vanished moved away, a revised version of Uncyclo-tan was proposed by the powers that be. A majority vote marked the official recognition of Uncyclo-tan as an unofficial "mascot" of Uncyclopedia. The famed Japanese cartoonist, Akira Miyazaki-Shinkawa, was later commissioned to write a script involving the characters Uncyclo-tan and Wikipe-tan for an animated film, which would be produced in collaboration with Japanese animating powerhouse, Studio Ghibligibi. After many problems involving merchandising rights, Miyazaki-Shinkawa was forced to step away from the project. Shortly after, a no-name manga artist was hired off of the streets, and payed with hot dogs, to publish the story as a serialized comic, The Troublesome Life of Wikipe-tan: A Wikia Story, in Japan. The series was later translated for a western audience and ported to Europe and North America, where it quickly established an obsessive, sexually deviant fanbase.
