Bincho-tan (びんちょうタン Binchōtan) (also Binchō-tan) is a mascot character created by Japanese manga artist Takahito Ekusa (江草天仁 Ekusa Takahito) and produced by game goods company Alchemist.The name is a play on words: binchōtan (備長炭) is a kind of charcoal which is mainly used for cooking. However -tan is a suffix created by the mispronunciation by young children of -san that led to the suffix -chan.
