Zinzamoure (zin-za-moore), also called by his name Zin, is a pxls user. He is the (despite his dislike of the word) leader of the Osaka Nation faction. That faction creates art of the Azumanga Daioh character Ayumu Kasuga, otherwise known as Osaka. His significant solo work revolves around Native American symbols & iconography on canvas. Zin is Native American, belonging to the Seneca Nation of Indians of the Haudenosaunee in New York State.

Canvas 70

Zin had joined almost exactly in the middle of c70, in search of an r/place alternative where he could put up an Iroquois/Haudenosaunee flag. The flag was completed, alongside a Seneca gustoweh (small headdress of the Haudenosaunee), with the help of a friend named Vitus. Once Zin had realized flags were very vulnerable on pxls, he tried to keep quiet about the fact that the flag was a flag, considering it isn't recognizable by the general public. However, the dweebazoid can't keep his mouth shut and eventually the flag was compromised. This led to a small, local conflict between Zin's new-found allies and griefers dotty and Kouhai. Zin's defense lasted the remainder of the canvas. Although tensions ran high, Zin has (lacking formality) made good with dotty as of now. And through that defense, Zin gained a new friend of mauz (formerly mauzg0d), a Ukrainian pxls user. His solo work for this canvas included a Two Spirit pride icon, a couple of different gothic favicon type arts, and an ego for 13k pixels (impressive, right?)

Canvas 71

This is the first canvas where Osaka Nation was realized as art on canvas after Zin showed off a defiddled version of an official pixel sprite from an Azumanga-Daioh-themed game that he can't remember. Despite his incompetency at running a discord server for the faction, and sleeping through reset, Osaka had found a place on c71. Zin's solo work on this canvas included an icon influenced by the American Indian Movement flag and YSL logo which eventually became an ego for 30k pixels. He also put three tiny fish scattered across canvas last minute. Alongside this, Zin helped Pebble after begging to be allowed to help on his original solo project of Eddsworld art, and adding his own little own gun & bottle icon next to the art. Zin also made a new friend this canvas: Reissecup.

Canvas 72

For C72, Norwegian Osaka was built by Osaka Nation, defiddled by Pebble. Zin has also collaborated with ToeBeans to create small art of Peanuts comic strip character Schroeder playing the piano (by Zin) and a burlesque Snoopy atop the piano (by ToeBeans). Zin's solo work on this canvas was a pixel art Tree of Peace from the story of the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, a white pine with weapons buried underneath and an eagle atop the pine. His ego for this canvas was at 40k, and is art of the Daft Punk Discovery-era helmets alongside the number. And on 12 September 2023, Zin did a live-commentary in chat for the MTV Video Music Awards, entertaining chat with happenings of the award show. This canvas, Zin joined Red Army faction, contributing pixels to Eddsworld-themed art on this & future canvases.

Canvas 73

For C73, a fall-themed Osaka was very quickly defiddled for Osaka Nation, as the realization set it that it was not Halloween canvas yet. He also aided a lot with several projects (and mini-griefs) planned by Red Army. He outlined minor smiley faces in canvas, which were due to be bulldozed by Osu lattice. He also aided with Weed Crown Assembly. His solo work for this canvas was a recreation of the Two Row Wampum, a sprite from Petscop of Care NLM, and a borpa riding a skateboard. His ego this canvas for 60k+ with a Konata Izumi sprite from a Lucky Star fighting game.

Canvas 74

With Zin overwhelmed with panic at the size of other faction projects on the preclaim, pebble_ offered very kindly to downscale the 16k Osaka Nation art for this canvas (pebble did the original defiddle anyhow). The Osaka Nation projects on c71 & 72 were 16k, but this Osaka would not have been built if not reduced to 8k. He did not do a solo work for his streak of Native American themed art, but was inspired to make art of Elisa & Sergiu from Papers, Please. This became his ego of 87k. He also aided a new person with a small red & azure lattice.
