System Personified	Windows XP Professional

XP-kun (息子XP, musuko XP, lit. XP son) or Musupi (むすぴー) to distinguish him from Saseko (XP-tan) in Japanese, is the personification of Windows XP Professional. He is the younger brother of XP-tan and Homeko.

The Musupi nickname originally came from this:

息子XP → 息P → むすぴ

don XP → ikiP → Musupi

On pixiv his name is added with a long-vowel mark (ー).

Appearance

XP-kun is a man in his late teens to early 20's. He looks older than his sister XP-tan despite being the younger brother, due in large part to his stature and well-developed muscles. Tall and muscular, XP-kun sports a long, brown-black braid, brown-black eyes, and scars on his chest forming the word "XP". His outfit consists of a collar, cuffs, and a long chinese-style loincloth all in the blue and white striped cuff pattern of his sister's outfit. There also happen to be a few XP-kun variants, representing the different color schemes available for the OS. They are shown as different characters, independent of XP-kun.

Personality

XP-kun is brash but gentle, usually a nice, easy-going guy who just doesn't always think things through. He is very strong, but is kind to animals and children, and seems to respect people for who they are. Though he may be loud, he is just loud and cheerful.

XP-Kun is most commonly seen in the company of either 2k-kun or Pizza-tan. The former plays the big brother card, cheering him on when he spars and hanging out with him in his downtime. The latter seems to have developed a sort of admiration for him, and the two commonly hang out and spar together.

XP-kun has also been seen in the company of his younger brothers Homeo and Me-kun. The former is usually just doing the typical poses or just hanging out. With Homeo, however, XP-kun shares a special understanding, possibly due to them both having rather difficult sisters. He plays the regular older brother role here, being mischievous but not mean, and kindly looks out for and takes care of his little brother.

It has been shown that XP-kun is the only one to have a positive relationship with any one of the Troubled Windows USA, specifically his American sister/counterpart XPUSA-tan (not to be confused with Komeppo-tan). Given the two of them both like to train, the bond was only natural.
