Futaba Channel (Japanese: ふたば(双葉)☆ちゃんねる, Hepburn: Futaba Channeru, "Double Leaf Channel", "Two Leaf Channel"), or Futaba for short, also sometimes called 2chan, is a Japanese imageboard.

Origin

Futaba Channel started as a textboard but eventually added imageboards based on the GazouBBS software. This would later become inspiration for the English-language imageboard 4chan website, which was based on Futaba.[1][2]
