The former's Pixiv uploads also name their OC as 「こりん」 (corin), and Corin's Pawoo features the exact same furry form of this character.

EDIT: The tag alias kemo_neko -> corin (forum #333846) has been rejected by @NotMeNotYou.

Honestly I'd say "corin" is a bit generic of a name. There are multiple characters named corin, as well as a few similar names like corinne, corinth, and corina.

Although it looks like Corin is already an artist name with aliases to it, so unless there have been mistags that keep getting cleaned up, I guess it's not something to worry about.

Is Corin the character's name or an alternate name of the artist's? I'm a bit fuzzy about the distinction at the moment.

Both, kinda? From the four links I've provided and a quick Twitter search:

  • The artist calls themselves 룬코 (Runko), るねこ (Runeko), kemo_neko, and neko_lu_ (which might be a preferred transliteration for "ru neko").
  • The character is こりん/コリン (Corin).
  • A tweet from neko_lu_ suggests previous use of an alias "Corin_Luke".

Perhaps it would be best to reverse this as a mass update to kemo_neko. Then tag the character Corin_(kemo_neko) as appropriate. And then maybe disambiguate Corin.
