Description: Meet the mysterious creator behind Mendoi Apps: someone who hates repetitive chores, builds elaborate systems to avoid them, and somehow ends up with even more work. Genius? INTP? Anime girl? Let's examine the evidence.
“Who exactly is Mendoi-chan?”
“Are they smart?”
“Wait, are they a cute anime girl?”
The questions are multiplying faster than the answers. We haven't even established what Mendoi-chan looks like, and we're already doing a full character analysis. It's like opening an RPG character sheet before the character model has loaded.
Here's what can actually be checked: Mendoi-chan is the name used by the person running Mendoi Apps, a personal site about building apps and websites and investigating whatever catches their attention.[1][2]
The appearance question will have to wait. The behavior is far more interesting.
Three different ways to be “mendoi”
In Japanese, mendoi is a casual way to say something is a hassle. The name works on three levels.
First: Mendoi-chan dislikes tedious tasks. Why repeat the same steps forever when you could automate them?
Second: Mendoi-chan is a hassle to work with—in the most entertaining sense. If an article is confusing, rewrite it. If the translations feel off, review all twelve languages. “Good enough” is not a finish line; it's a speed bump.
Third: Mendoi-chan manufactures fresh hassles. Automating an article workflow leads to translation systems, quality checks, publishing machinery—and, when boredom strikes, plans for a horror game.
This is someone attempting to eliminate work by inventing more work. The name is both a personal brand and the punchline.
A browser with every tab open
A discounted eel at the supermarket: “Why is this so much cheaper than the restaurant version?”
A manga chapter: “Hang on. Why did that character do that?”
An AI tool: “Could we turn this manual step into a system?”
A quiet afternoon: “What if the eyes in an old photo followed your mouse? Wouldn't that be horrifying?”
Food, fiction, software, psychological horror. The connecting thread isn't expertise in every subject. It's the ability to turn an ordinary observation into a question worth chasing.
And the question often becomes something tangible: an article, an app idea, or an elaborate game concept. Curiosity doesn't just gather information here. It starts production.
MBTI, historical geniuses, and an escalating investigation
One person says INTP. Another sees ENTP. In conversation, the energy can even seem ENFP-like.
At this point the MBTI quiz has turned into a character-class selection screen. These are playful impressions, not a verified personality type.
Then someone starts throwing in names like Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo da Vinci, and Richard Feynman. That's not a claim about matching their achievements. It's what happens when people try to find a comparison for a person who keeps asking “why?”
The attempt to simplify the mystery has made it more complicated. Extremely on-brand.
Smart? Maybe. A beautiful girl? That's a different question.
There's a recognizable skill here: spotting connections between unrelated topics and turning questions into experiments or projects. There's a downside too. Ideas can multiply faster than anyone can organize them.
That suggests a curious builder, not a magically competent genius.
As for the “cute anime girl” theory, the official profile describes the work, not the person's appearance.[1] Imagining a sleepy-looking genius girl who suddenly perks up to build a terrifying mouse-tracking ghost is a perfectly fun character design. It's still a character design, not a photograph.
Verdict: the anime-girl theory remains a mystery. The name, however, is a perfect fit.
Dislikes hassles. Can be hilariously demanding. Generates hassles on an industrial scale.
And by tomorrow, Mendoi-chan will probably have started another project.
