AI gijinka: nine brands and their character designs

She has long blue gradient hair, fin-like features beside her head and a large whale tail. A dark blue dress and white apron continue the logo's blue-and-white palette. A small spouting whale appears near the bottom of the apron, so the animal becomes both a body feature and a clothing motif.

The maid headdress, apron and dress establish this version's everyday outfit. The original video credits Shangshan Wuxing's whale character as the basis for the adaptation. ZipZipPipe developed the maid version, and later artists made chibi designs and other portrayals in short films.

ZipZipPipe's Claude has orange hair and a long dress in white, black and orange. A radiating ornament appears in her hair, with related marks on her shoulders and book cover. The orange palette and repeated motif connect the character to Claude's visual identity.

She holds a book in a quiet, upright pose, giving the portrait a scholarly impression. Alongside DeepSeek's whale tail and GPT's dragon horns, this version of Claude relies on clothing, posture and branded accessories to establish the character. The book gives her a concrete activity: reading or explaining.

OpenAI calls the interwoven mark Blossom, and ChatGPT uses it too. Similar knot shapes repeat beside the character's head, at her waist, on her sleeves and around the skirt, connecting the dragon girl to the product.

White hair, segmented horns, wings, a scaled tail and a pale gown make up ZipZipPipe's full design. The dragon anatomy is part of the fan character, while the knot-shaped ornaments refer to the brand. Later chibi dragon-girl versions carry these traits into smaller figures, with their own artists and source works.

The character has blue-purple and pink-purple gradient hair, cat ears, a fluffy tail and different-colored eyes. Four-point stars appear in her hair ornament, necklace, waist chain and shoes, with colored sparks floating nearby. The app's mark becomes a recurring decoration throughout the portrait.

The official icon shown here is the current four-color version; the portrait uses mainly blue and purple. Both share the spark's shape and a gradient treatment. The ears, tail and eyes complete this particular fan character's appearance.

Grok's product mark combines a ring with a long diagonal stroke. The portrait places it on the collar, waist, chains, stocking clips and shoes. A separate X appears on the axe. A small crown, bat-wing-like ornaments and a dark red dress lining complete the fantasy outfit.

In its original announcement, xAI described Grok as humorous and rebellious. The portrait's assertive pose, black dress and axe also fit that public brand impression. This is a connection between the image and the product's positioning; the weapon and outfit belong to the fan design.

The K repeats beside her head, on her chest and on hanging tags. One tag also keeps the blue dot. Between the silver-purple hair and dark blue-and-white dress are crescents, a night sky, musical staves and notes, with a flute at the waist.

The crescent and night sky recall Moonshot's Chinese name, 月之暗面, meaning the dark side of the moon. Musical details add a setting and mood. The K carries the product identity, while the moonlight and instrument complete this version's character design.

She has long blue-purple hair with a side braid, a dress with knotted fastenings and a shawl. The hat, waist, handbag and shoes carry blue-purple badges with the same white, three-part geometric structure.

The clothing establishes the overall silhouette, and the badges repeat the brand identity through it. The folding fan, fastenings and side braid distinguish this Qwen version from the similarly blue-purple Gemini and Kimi portraits.

She wears a black-and-white dress and has a fluffy, white-tipped fox tail. A closed-eye sleep mask and bells sit on her head. The book reads Z and GLM Model, a long ribbon reads Z.AI, and more Z marks appear in the hair ornaments, collar and waist.

GLM and Claude both hold books, but have different palettes and markings. Claude's orange hair and starburst ornaments, and GLM's black hair, fox ears and lettered cover, connect the two readers to their respective brands.

The character has a purple-blue ponytail, a short blue-white-purple outfit and sneakers. SEED appears on her clothes, badge and ribbons. She holds a plush with a round face and short brown hair that echoes the Doubao product avatar.

The design turns the app's familiar face into a prop carried by a different-looking main character. SEED identifies the model side, while the plush connects her to the consumer product. The official icon shown alongside the portrait is Doubao's avatar.
