Looking for the original Hoppou avatar author

Hello, I'm looking for the name of the original author that originally uploaded the first Hoppou Avatar in VRChat.

If you think you know it, we can start a discussion about it here and add it to the avatar infobox description. Ｎｅｋｏｓａｎ (talk) 17:14, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Ive spent a good 45 minutes looking through Avatar databases and here is what Ive found:

The earlyest Hoppou avatars that use the distinctive model with its eyes were all uploaded from January - March of 2018.

Several of these early Hoppous lack the distinctive eyes though, including the earlyest upload Ive found (avtr_6b00ba3a-7cd2-4c76-b8a1-638e137952d0/2nd of January 2018). I have a source for at least these though, they come from a certain Deviantart and were made by "Sarita-Chan" and "uruchiha".

I found long dead links to that Deviantart on a upload of the Hoppou from the 16th of February 2018 (avtr_101b28c8-1cca-4c4e-b416-a88cb7042096), which very confusingly does have the distinctive eyes! _{(If that avatars uploaded picture is to be trusted, I have not tested it in-game yet.)}

I have yet to check though how close that MMD model from Deviantart is to the "modern" base Hoppou that is distributed in the H. Foundation and such.

TL:DR

- Its probably a port of that MMD Model from Deviantart.

- The eyes were probably edited in some form from the original model, at least if we go from the pictures on said Deviantart.

- Im already confused, and ill probably stop investigating this for the day. ͘Akame (talk) 19:49, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
