Inori Aizawa

CORP

Inori Aizawa (藍澤祈) is a 2013 Internet Explorer campaign character from Microsoft Singapore with Collateral Damage Studios (Wah). Debut around Anime Festival Asia: a 'redemption' magical-girl ad for IE11. Aizawa Inori in Japanese order is an IE pun. Birthday in lore: 24 August 1995 (IE's date). Shoes reference Trident. This is regional marketing. It is not Futaba's browser-tan habit.

GeekWire, CNET, ANN, and The Verge all covered the launch because 'Microsoft made an anime girl for IE' was a headline. Facebook page, themed IE build, AFA presentation. Lore later tied her as cousin/friend to Hikaru and as friendly with Nanami/Yū/Ai. That is CORP crossover writing.

English fandom sometimes says IE-tan. Fine as a nickname, wrong as a Futaba catalog entry. Edge did not inherit an official girl in the same program.
