About
Yotsuba Koiwai[1] is a the main character from the manga series Yotsuba&!, previously featured on the one shot Try! Try! Try!, by Kiyohiko Azuma.[3] Over time, Yotsuba was adopted by 4chan as the site official mascot, appearing in banned users messages, ads, logos, and HTTP 404 messages, leading to the nickname of 404 Girl.
Origin
Yotsuba Koiwai is the main character from the comedy manga Yotsuba&!.[2] The manga follows his daily adventures as she learns about the world around her, guided by her father, the neighbors, and their friends.
Adopted by 4Chan
"Yotsuba Channel" is also 4chan's name in Japanese. Due to this similarity in names, 4chan adopted the character Yotsuba Koiwai as their official mascot. Images of Yotsuba began appearing (and to this day appear) whenever a member is banned, a file is not found (also leading her to be called 404 girl), and for a time appearing on numerous banners and webcomics around the website.
She started being referred to as 404 Girl when an Anonymous asked for Rule 34 for the 404 Girl. This rule 34 was instantly considered taboo, and thus many trolls have since repeated the request.

Yotsuba's innocence is one thing Anonymous will not touch; in a way, she is like Anonymous' little sister. Usually, attempts at things such as Rule 34's on Yotsuba will lead to extreme amounts of harassment, flaming, and even a ban.
Saying that she merely appears on things such as image macros and videos is an understatement; she is actually woven into the the history of 4chan, as the software that 4chan runs on was lovingly code-named "Yotsuba."

4chan's clover logo is based on her hair, right?

It's based on a pun, yes:
4chan on the whole is based on a Japanese website called "Futaba Channel" ("two-leaf clover channel"). Translating 4chan into Japanese would probably sound like "Yotsuba Channel" ("four-leaf clover"). Both websites and the Yotsuba manga (whose name also means four-leaf clover) all debuted in 2003, and 4chan founder moot is well-known to be a fan of the manga

"This rule 34 was instantly considered taboo"
Considering 4chan is more or less the 40k Warp, this restores some faith in humanity.

IMO calling her 404 Girl is more cancerous than the roricon porn.

According to my secret spying history. I detected a website that breaks the rules.
The name of that website is Gelbooru.com
Thumbs up to prepare the Infiltration against the rulebreaker.

I really like looking at Yotsuba. It's like she was scientifically designed to make people smile.

Hi, the only reason they use her is because it's perfect loli material, and 4chan is known for vast amounts of hidden CP.

What the fuck did you just fucking type about 4chan, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at MIT, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids with Anonymous, and I have over 300 confirmed DDoSes. I am trained in online trolling and I’m the top hacker in the entire world. You are nothing to me but just another virus host. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on the Internet, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with typing that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As I type this, I'm tracing your IP with my damn bare hands so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your computer. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can hack into your files in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in hacking, but I have access to the entire arsenal of every piece of malware ever created and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the world wide web, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking fingers. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit code all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
