4th generation

open/close all folders

In General

Butt-Monkey: Among the most bulliable generation period, with almost all of them (aside from Coco) having memes or jokes that both fans or other talents like to make fun of them with. Kanata is constantly compared to a gorilla, Watame constantly gets eaten by various carnivorous hololive members like Fubuki, Towa is told she is an angel rather than a demon, and Luna is reminded she’s a baby.
Color Motif: Kanata (white/blue), Coco (orange), Watame (yellow), Towa (purple), Luna (pink). One of Coco’s Reddit meme reviews pointed out that they coincidentally share the same colors as EN Myth.
Foil: Kanata and Towa. Kanata is an angel, who can be quite mischievous. Towa is a devil who is known to be quite angelic.
True Companions: Following from Gen 3, they are a particularly close knit gen who often treat each other like family. In particular Coco and Kanata lived together for quite some time, with their home being referred to as Holohouse. All of them think of Coco as a Cool Big Sis and Luna as a Token Mini-Moe.

Fanbase name: Hey-min^note
Illustrator: Oshio

(dayo)
Channel: Youtube

Social Media: Twitter

Alias: Kanatan
Place of origin: Heaven
Affiliation: AKUKIN Construction / Usada Construction (Formerly)^note / KanaKen Construction

The management's attempt to stop my singing is in vain
Manager and YAGOO, forgive me-soran
Put your backs into it!! (Ha! Ha! x3)
Let's dokkoisho...

— Kanata's Soran Bushi (Kanzakihiro mix)

A-Cup Angst: Like Rushia and Suisei, Kanata is deeply insecure about the size of her bust, not helped by how her fellow idols tend to poke fun at its lackluster presence, which she initially tried to downplay by insisting that her breasts are bigger, but merely hidden under her outfit, often expressing her desire for her next model to properly showcase them. This is mainly due to her illustrator's very adamant insistence on keeping her that way, as whenever any of her colleagues (e.g., Marine) tries to depict her with larger cup sizes, Oshio-mama will not only immediately express disapproval of the change, she is also willing to take drastic measures to keep Kanata flat, like threatening to take legal action on Marine or even destroy Cover Corporation itself. In fact, her insistence on keeping Kanata petite has even made its way onto her official character sheet. As the cherry on top, not even her MMD model has any jigglebones in the chest area, rendering Jiggle Physics impossible.
Ambiguously Gay: She and Coco are so close that they are often considered a couple. Kanata is also a self-proclaimed boob enthusiast and loves touching large breasts. She was actually Mistaken for Gay by her own mother and by Matsuri. Also while Kanata has stated she doesn't have a partner, she has on a few occasions pranked some of the other hololive members by pretending she had a legitimate girlfriend (and even managed to convince them for a short time).
Animal Motifs:
- Gorillas. Owing to her impressive grip strength, Kanata has been called one by her fans, her fellow idols and herself. Being given hamster ears for her New Years outfit did nothing to change this.
- She also became associated with blue axolotls after her legendary quest to breed one in Minecraft, to the point where not only is her mascot Upao a blue axolotl, but her fans are also represented by them (wearing Kanata's signature halo).
Beware the Nice Ones: While usually a kind-hearted angel, Kanata does show a secret darker side that sometimes shows itself, most notably in Minecraft.
Black Market: In Minecraft, as a "get-rich-quick" scheme, Kanata created a black market for axolotls, where she charges absurd prices for sales. She once even kidnapped Nene to force her to buy one and when she couldn't pay, instead made her work off her debts.
Butt-Monkey: She gets a lot of misfortune thrown her way and takes it in stride. Aside from being made fun of for using Power Point in her debut stream and singing an acapella version of Souran Bushi, a traditional festival song, she has also been made fun of for her poor fashion design when showing off her first set of tshirts that unfortunately failed to sell well (to the point where Suisei fled in terror of her Animal Crossing house, which had the design all over her walls, floor, and several easels crowding the main room) and also hosted a celebratory call-in stream that none of the other hololive girls called in to, leaving her waiting for over an hour for someone to congratulate her; this was intentional, as she didn't tell anyone she was doing this and was a reference to another skit with the same idea. ^note She then ended up making a song about the 4th generation as a whole, with the second verse focusing on her own incidents and reputation as a depressing caricature.
Calling Parents by Their Name: Kanata refers to her mother as "Sayuri" because she apparently resembles Japanese actress Sayuri Yoshinaga and to avoid confusion with Kanata's illustrator, commonly referred to as Oshio-mama.
Career-Ending Injury: She was hospitalized in early April 2020 for complications stemming from what is most likely Ménière's disease in one of her ears, an incurable inner ear disease often first manifesting as bouts of tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Since the disease can potentially lead to deafness, and might appear in both ears, this trope might potentially and unfortunately end up being played straight in the future. However, Kanata said that she signed up for hololive while aware of this, and decided to press on despite her condition, even after eventually confirming that she's already gone deaf in one ear.
Character Catchphrase:
- Tends to start her streams with "Kon-Kanata!"
- Her official self-proclaimed Catchphrase is: "My catch phrase is '50kg Grip Strength'!"
- "Let's GO!", which she says right before she is about to start playing a game, transitioning from her introductory chat to her game screen. "GO" even ended up being one of her membership emotes that her chat will say to accompany her.
Charles Atlas Superpower: According to herself, Kanata's impressive grip strength is the result of a combination of her own natural power and her having to do a lot of heavy lifting when working part-time jobs.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: When Coco's channel is banned from streaming, several hololive members express concern and attempt to help her in any way they could. However, Kanata is notable among them for immediately sharing her email address and password for Coco to use the minute she hears about it. Coco is both grateful for the gesture and exasperated, because if she used Kanata's account like that, Kanata would likely get banned as well.
Coco: [mimicking Kanata] Got it, say no more, just use my channel!
Cloudcuckoolander:
- She is following after Fubuki in terms of unusual contents, as shown with Soran Bushi and P.P.T.
- She has a habit of sending random, unsolicited pictures to people she's close with. Like the time she sent out a pic of her getting a nosebleed because she thought "Wow, this looks like a murder scene!"
Determinator:
- She spent 12 hours on Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy. However, she had to stop and rest after pulling an all-nighter.
- She spent over 35 hours fighting Sans in Undertale, with hardly any breaks in between.
- She has spent over 27 hours and bred over 3200 axolotls in Minecraft in pursuit of a blue axolotl (which only has a 1/1200 appearance rate from breeding).
- The loss of half of her hearing as detailed above forced her to drop her weekly singing sessions, but she has not let it once stop her otherwise as she continues to belt out cover songs and originals like Kiseki Knot.
- Whenever she sets a "stream until you..." challenge, like not dying in Minecraft or placing a certain rank in Mario Kart, if she is forced to end the stream early, she will keep restarting new streams over and over until she achieves the objective.
Distracted by the Sexy: Kanata seems to be the most vulnerable to Marine's thumbnails in particular.
Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Seems to be the case, as she has on multiple occasions obliterated an object by accidentally exerting too much force on it, most notably in her attempt at peeling potatoes, as detailed by Noel. According to Coco, she has even crushed entire glass jars before with her bare hands. This comes into play in the holo no Graffiti episode "The Gang's All Together", as during the process of making sushi, she squeezed the rice to the point it becomes rock-hard and inedible.
Engrish: She is notably capable of understanding English to an extent, as evident in her collab streams with Coco for Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, but not enough to avoid falling victim to this trope. She announced after returning from hospitalization from being struck by a car that she had made the decision that she would begin studying English seriously in about a month from her comeback stream.
Fake Relationship: For whatever reason one of her favorite pranks is to pretend she has a girlfriend. When first introducing Aqua to Coco, she introduces Aqua as her girlfriend before Coco finds out who she really is. With the help of Chat, Kanata also pranks La+ by pretending to be drunk and "accidentally" letting it slip she has a girlfriend with chat pretending to freak out over the news.
Fangirl:
- For Sora. Kanata is normally a Shrinking Violet, but in most cases she is capable of pulling herself together to communicate normally. However, this goes out of the window when Sora is in the vicinity, at which point she becomes a Nervous Wreck.
- Also for actress and singer Yui Aragaki. She squees over said idol whenever she gets the chance and recommends her dramas to anyone who hasn't seen them, particularly Nigeru wa haji daga, yaku ni tatsu. When her oshi got married to Gen Hoshino in 2021, Kanata was both ecstatic and dismayed, played a session of Beating Meat: No More Horny to work out her stress and took a break for a few days.
Foil: Appropriately, she foils Towa. Both have nasally-sounding voices but can be very powerful when they sing, however, Kanata is an angel who can be quite devilish while Towa is an imp that can be quite angelic.
Fun with Acronyms: The "PP" part of "PPTenshi" is very flexible and can mean a lot of different things depending on the context.
Furry Reminder: Fittingly for someone who is often jokingly called a gorilla, her bloodtype is B, which is the bloodtype of almost all gorillas.
The Gadfly: Kanata has attempted to trick the other hololive members by calling them and impersonating someone else with her voice in the midst of streams on several occasions. Despite her efforts, she has only succeeded on rare occasions, such as when she impersonates Coco to trick Shion. She was also responsible for gathering several people together in order to imitate Marine, including Marine herself, to confuse Aqua and have her guess who the real Marine was.
Gratuitous English: Due to living with a roommate fluent in English, Kanata has picked up bits and pieces of English phrases. However her attempts at speaking entirely in English still can come out a bit garbled, as her English-only stream shows.
Hartman Hips: In contrast to her non-existent chest, she's mentioned as having a really nice butt that she (and Coco and Suisei) are happy to do drum beats with on streams.
Heartbreak and Ice Cream: After crying her eyes out reading her farewell letter to Coco at Coco's graduation stream, she follows it up, still teary, by demanding that Coco take her out for ice cream afterwards.
Hidden Depths:
- As shown in Marine's art stream collab (with Fubuki and Coco), Kanata is a very good artist. She lost confidence in herself and quit in the third grade, but has expressed interest in continuing with her friends' encouragement.
- She is a capable audio engineer, having done some of her own musical arrangements. She did a stream where she showed what goes into her sound mixing.
Holy Halo: She has a star-shaped one that droops to the side of her head. Interestingly, it appears to be physical and can be thrown, much like a shuriken.
Hope Spot: During the New Year's Shuffle for the 2024 countdown, Kanata has her outfit changed to Choco's, complete with a large chest. Before the end of her segment, though, the boobs turn out to be padding and the padding falls off, much to her horror.
Horrifying the Horror: She manages to scare Suisei, who has the reputation of being a psychopath when she was trying to sell her t-shirts in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as seen here.
Incredibly Long Note: Kanata has mentioned she enjoys challenging herself to see how long she can sustain a single note while singing. Perhaps her most famous instance being her cover of "Mephisto", in which she held a note for 26 seconds and two pitch changes without breathing.
In-Series Nickname: PPTenshi, due to her introduction involving PowerPoint. Some hololive members have called her this from time to time.
Iron Butt Monkey: In October 2020 she was hospitalized due to an accident almost immediately after coming back from a mental health break, but she was fairly unfazed by her condition and more annoyed that her manager wouldn't let her stream from her hospital bed. When she returned, she causally revealed said accident was a car accident with her on foot that had injured her right arm. February 2022 saw her on yet another health break as she came down with COVID-19, and true to form, she insisted on at least putting out a short each day to let her fans know she was doing fine.
Lazy Alias: After Coco's graduation, she's taken to calling her "Friend C" at the suggestion of a superchat.
Like an Old Married Couple: Described her relationship with Coco as such.
Likes Older Men: She likes refined older men, preferrably over the age of fifty. She considers Abe Hiroshi to be the very definition of her type.
Little Bit Beastly: Her New Years outfit allows her to have hamster ears.
Meaningful Name: Her family name "Amane" means "Sound of Heaven", fitting for an angel, though it also falls under Harsher in Hindsight in light of her medical condition. She also has a very impressive vocal range for her singing voice.
Modesty Shorts: Her 3D model has spats under her skirt. She apologizes to the audience for her inability to provide Panty Shots.
Motor Mouth: When she gets agitated, you can bet she'll start rambling at a machine gun's pace. For example, there's her beating her meat in order to vent her frustration upon learning of Yui Aragaki's marriage, and her reaction to getting a blue axolotl in Minecraft after several streams of farming, gorilla-like growls notwithstanding.
Mundane Utility: Despite her awesome Super-Strength, Kanata is often employed by Coco to do mundane chores like opening jars and tightening up fixtures around the house instead.
Muscle Angst: After coming back from her accident in October 2020, she's sad that her grip strength decayed to 40 kg and trained right away to get it back up to 50 kg.
Naughty Nurse Outfit: Downplayed with her nurse outfit, which is meant to be more cute than sexy. However, it's still ultimately a nurse-themed costume rather than any practical nurse outfit, having white pantyhose, a big frilly skirt, and a Cleavage Window. Humorously, Kanata interprets that last part of the outfit's design as an opportunity to show off her "boing boing".
Nice Girl: She's been called by many, especially Coco, Suisei and even Sora, as a nice, responsible girl who cares very much for hololive.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She has a grip strength of 56 kilograms (or just over 123 pounds) despite her small stature.
Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: With Coco. During the period of time that they both lived together, Kanata's Yamato Nadeshiko tendencies around her can only be assumed to be this trope.
- She once made breakfast for Coco and delivered it to her while the latter held an all-nighter stream.
- Kanata not only sleeps in Coco's bed on occasion but also sleeps with her, especially if she's scared for any reason.
- When Kanata was at the agency building, she spotted a staff member wearing a wedding ring. She talked to Coco about it and then the latter suggested buying matching friendship rings, Kanata accepted since she didn't have a reason to say "no".
- When Coco returned from her short hiatus she refused to get a clear cut reason for, Kanata appeared on her returning stream and just hugged her while she was on air as her way of saying "Welcome Back" and asked why Coco isn't wearing her friendship ring, before apologizing for intruding. It's notable they do not normally hug, but Kanata felt she had to give it a much more personal touch given their closeness.
- She is well-known for being a cheapskate (and that she considered 100¥ conveyor belt sushi to be luxurious), but thought nothing of lavishing Coco with gifts of a Nintendo Switch and peripherals to celebrate the latter attaining 1 million subs.
Put on a Bus:
- Due to an accident, she was hospitalized for several weeks starting from October 6th 2020. Since then, she kept her co-workers and fans in touch so that they'll know she's alright. On October 18th 2020, she was discharged from the hospital and was able to stream again.
- Kanata was hit very hard by COVID-19 midway through February 2022, and couldn't fully recover from it until two months later. Further compounding her hiatus was the passing of a family member in April.
Rage Quit:
- Kanata created a new pixel art of herself in Minecraft, and decided to give herself 3D boobs because it was her project. Matsuri came along and pranked her by placing buttons on the boobs to simulate nipples. When Kanata saw them, she yelled at Matsuri then quit.
  Kanata: NO CHIKUBI!
- During her attempts to get a blue axolotl in Minecraft, she looked up how many she had bred at a certain point, and ended the stream, gave her parting salutations, and immediately aired her frustration after exceeding the odds massively.
Rags to Riches: She's implied heavily that she grew up either very poor or neglected. She's mentioned thinking things like famously cheap-conveyer belt sushi were actually luxuries, considered the equivalent of $5 to be a lot of money, and thought it was normal for children to have no food in their house and resort to eating grass when they're hungry. She was even surprised to find out these weren't things most people could relate to when she mentioned them on stream and saw the chat's reactions.
Rummage Sale Reject: According to her peers, she puts no effort whatsoever into her fashion. For example, people often mistake her daily wear for pajamas and she needs to clarify that what she wears to sleep are actually pajamas and not casual pants. On rare occasions, however, she can put together some decent clothing, such as on the day of the Bloom concert, Noel saw her in a very nice, well-coordinated outfit that was unfortunately ruined by Crocs and socks.
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: In the leadup to Coco's graduation, she was seriously considering at some point after graduation "accidentally" sneaking in Coco in the background so that those who missed her could hear from her again, even if it meant getting bonked by management. Luckily, it later became clear that this sort of thing would be fine.
Serious Business: Like Arurandeisu, she attempts to breed an extremely rare blue axolotl in Minecraft for hours, and continues to do so even after Fubuki miraculously bred one.
She Is Not My Girlfriend: Said almost verbatim during one of her free talk streams in response to greener hololive fans on Twitter calling Coco "Kanata's boyfriend".
Shrinking Violet: She's notably shier and more reserved than the other Vtubers, as Korone was originally or Pekora is off-cam.
Shout-Out: Kanata made a video titled "JUST KANATA" which involved her confessing to the viewer, having Yandere tendencies and glitching out.
Smarter Than They Look: It doesn't get brought up much but she's plenty smart. She is the second highest scorer (in Hololive) on Choco's trivia test and perfected a popular Japanese map quiz in one go, motivated as she was by Noel's boobs.
Spell My Name With An S: Played for Laughs. When Sora makes the name for the idol unit consisting of Flare, Marine, Suisei, herself and Kanata and declares it ALICE, she says it comes from a letter in each member's name. However, Kanata has been spelled Canata and the angel eagerly jokes that she's changed her name to such.
Start My Own: After leaving Akukin Construction and Usada Kensetsu, she returned to Minecraft to start her own construction company, Kanata Construction.
Straight Man: She can find herself in the role of a tsukkomi when she's with someone more chaotic than her, like Miko or Flare.
Stronger Than They Look: She's gained a reputation for being far stronger than her size or build should suggest, especially her grip strength, leading to calling herself a 'gorilla'. She is often called upon by Coco for help with tasks that require brute physical force.
Stupid Sexy Flanders: Her deeper vocal range is often commented by both Vtubers and her chat viewers, due to how attractive she sounds when going on the low end.
That Poor Plant: In April 2022, she decided to get a houseplant to freshen up her room a bit. She got a cactus... and somehow managed to kill it within a week. People were quite surprised, as cacti are well known for being very hardy plants and very easy to take care of.^note
Too Dumb to Live: She once decided to take a selfie while flying in Minecraft.
Trash of the Titans: Kanata's room is notoriously messy, even when she's cleaned it up for guests. Although she even got a Roomba to help clean it up, the room is such a mess that the thing itself got stranded and couldn't return to its dock, eventually running out of battery and having to be manually brought back there by Kanata herself, completely defeating its purpose. Coco theorizes that she's just given up ever cleaning it again.
Two First Names: Both of her names can be used as given names in Japan.
Unusual Halo: She has a star-shaped halo with four points.
Voice Changeling: She tries to be this occasionally, which is more often than not met with the person she's trying to fool seeing through it rather quickly. Amusingly, the person's voice she's had the most success rate with is Coco, who has such a distinct voice it's rather easy to pick her out.
Woman of a Thousand Voices: She is capable of speaking in a variety of tones, hence one of her nicknames being "Perfect Pitch Tenshi". This is shown off very well in her playthrough of Doki Doki Literature Club!, where she does such a good job voicing all of the characters distinctly that some viewers entering the stream midway didn't know it was her doing it live and thought the game natively had full Japanese voice acting.
World's Strongest Woman: While Noel holds the title in-universe for being physically the strongest hololive member (supernatural creatures notwithstanding), Kanata very much owns the real world place, being more than twice as strong as a typical woman.
Yoko Oh No: She's not an example but gives one in a discussion. She is a huge fan of Yui "Gakki" Aragaki, a famous drama actress in Japan. When word broke out that she was getting married to co-star Gen Hoshino, she tried to be happy for her and knew she should celebrate her marriage, but she clearly took the news very hard. She dedicated a stream to this and took her antics out on a slab of meat before eventually taking a break to clear her thoughts.
Kanata: [raging while punching a slab of meat] Like I don't feel anything! I understand I should be happy! Gakki is married and that ought to be a happy event for me too! I know that already! But, these conflicting feelings of mine, they dwell in my heart! I'm brimming with these emotions! Gakki now belongs to a single person! That's now my reality!

— Ai-mai Chocolate

Addiction Song: Parodied in the video titled "AsaCoco isn't starting". On the morning of 25th January, 2020, upon realizing there is no AsaCoco due to it being Saturday, she immediately breaks into a musical sequence lamenting on the loss, the music becoming increasingly frantic as the song goes on. In the end, it is strongly implied that she ended up inhaling "respiratory-type AsaCoco", after which she stares at the viewer with Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises (and without blinking), all while saying "AsaCoco is starting today as well...".
Animal Gender-Bender: She had a small identity crisis when her chat and a quick web search lead her to believe only male sheep had horns, though it's actually averted; while less common, there are some breeds of sheep where females have horns.
Animal Motifs: Sheep.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: A Kaiju-sized Watame inserted herself into the very end of Kanata's 3D debut to plug her own upcoming stream, complete with an a capella version of the Godzilla theme.
Bare-Handed Blade Block: Mace block, actually. In one of her Girigiri Warukunai Watame animated shorts, she managed to block Noel's mace with her bare hands, but immediately became Distracted by the Sexy from the knight's breasts bouncing that she let go of the handle and got bonked in the head for her troubles.
Birthday Buddies: Watame shares the same birthday date (June 6) as Astel Leda, though unlike Ayunda Risu and Oga Aragami (another pair sharing a mutual birthday), neither interact much with each other.
Bland-Name Product: Her signature "Wata Chips". Prior to being rebranded, the packaging simply read "Potato Chips".
Borrowed Catchphrase: Late 2021 features Watame imitating crippling addiction for "shooting Ui-Beams", which is Shigure Ui's Running Gag. She's often concerned that Ui-mama, who regularly comments on her streams, will eventually punish her in some way and acts like she did nothing of the sort.
Boss Battle: Parodied and exaggerated in the Tsunomaki Janken (BOSS) segment of Watame no Uta. The usual BGM is remixed into what can be described as a Japanese version of a dreaded Ominous Latin Chanting boss theme. She even has a Boss Subtitle that says "Janken Overlord of Century's End" (世紀末じゃんけん覇王)! Some have compared the atmosphere to a "Shadow Game" from Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Butt-Monkey: A popular target of abuse from her fellow streamers:
- She is frequently the butt of jokes on AsaCoco.
- At the end of an Overcooked! 2 collab stream with Botan, she was eaten by the latter ^note. She respawns, but still.
  Botan: She [Watame] was delicious. But she respawned without issues, so it's all okay.
- She's also the most prone to physical harm from her peers in Holo no Graffiti, especially when Subaru punishes her antics with wrestling moves. In one of the animated shorts, Korone uses her as a battering ram (battering ewe?) to open a stuck door. The door doesn't budge, and Watame is casually left with a giant welt on her head.
Carnivore Confusion: On the receiving end. The fact that Watame is a sheep and coexists with many of her fellow talents themed after predatory animals is not overlooked. Several others like Botan, Fubuki, and Coco have expressed desires to eat her (and sometimes do), which has become a Running Gag of sorts.
Character Catchphrase: "Warukunai yo ne?" (悪くないよね？, lit. "Not my fault, right?", but meme'd into English as "Watame did nothing wrong."), often accompanied with a smile and cheeky tone of voice.
Chuunibyou:
- Discussed while talking about Mumei's debut during a free talk stream. She finds hololive Council's extensive lore "cool" and it tickles her "chuuni heart", saying she wishes her own backstory was like theirs.
- After watching La+ debut, Watame immediately became influenced by La+ own chuuni nature and adopted her phrase "Yes My Dark!" with Watame personalizing it to "Yes My Sheep!"
Civilized Animal: Zig-Zagged. Despite appearing virtually human and behaving exactly like one, she is always treated as an animal:
- She is constantly being referred to (both officially, and by other hololive members) as simply a sheep, not a (sheep) girl.
- Watame herself mentioned in a tweet that she grew up with a flock of hundreds of sheeps.
  Watame: Back when I was spending my days in a flock of hundreds of other sheeps, I was taught all sorts of games!
- In the PV of Watame's cover of "Bubble Love" from In Another World with My Smartphone, one scene depicts a Super-Deformed yellow-wooled sheep dancing to the music, with an annotation image labeled "Studio Watame" at the side. This scene seems to suggest that this is Watame's true form of sorts. However, this could also be a case of a (full) Animorphism being Played for Laughs.
Covert Pervert: Her sweet nature and gentle voice makes her occasional moments of perviness all the more shocking. She has a signature side-eye leer whenever she's thinking dirty thoughts.
Disappeared Dad: Spoke at length about how her mother (who was a downplayed Missing Mom due to a heavy work schedule) and grandmother (primarily) raised her in his absence. According to her, if anything would have happened to either of them resulting in him being her only living relative, he would have opted to send her and her brother to an orphanage instead.
Dirty Old Man: Calls herself Wata-oji for her perverted behavior and strange fetishes.
Does Not Like Spam: She apparently really hates bell peppers to the point of shivering when doing an offline collab with Choco who was cooking dishes with bell peppers in them.
Ear Worm: Her Rock–Paper–Scissors BGM.
Tsunomaki! Tsunomaki! Tsunomaki! Tsunomaki! Tsunomaki! Tsunomaki! Tsu-no-ma-ki jan-ken-pon!
Favors for the Sexy: In a case that's more along the lines of "Favors for the Cute", Watame manages to clear a staged Room Escape Game by looking at the camera and saying "I love you, please let me out" with a sad look on her face. Saying "Let me out" was the passphrase for the section and so she wins with barely 14 seconds left, to the shock of Polka and Fubuki in the audience as well and, amusingly, Watame herself, who spent the next few seconds with her mouth agape in surprise.
Fetish: Wakipai, or the combination of armpits and a bit of sideboob. It's heavily associated with her.
Functional Addict: This has been implied in any crossover content she ends up doing with Coco to some extent. She is the most recurring character in any AsaCoco commercial during Coco's streams, and aside from the song mentioned above, she had been shown experiencing withdrawal and quickly using Injection Type Asacoco on her 3D debut stream twice in order to maintain her composure.
Funny Background Event: Tends to steal the show in collaboration streams by wordlessly fooling around with her avatar's facial expressions and movements.
Gratuitous English: Due to her nocturnal streaming hours and extremely dedicated English translators, Watame has a relatively large percentage of English-speaking fans. Because of this, she does as best she can to respond to English superchats and other interactions in English back to the sender when she can, though she frequently lacks the vocabulary to do so.
Guest Fighter: Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny's collaboration DLC with hololive features an Evil Eye named Watamee who's clearly designed after Watame herself.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's got a light shade of blonde for her hair and is frequently displayed as a very well-meaning, peaceful, kind sheep.
Heavy Sleeper: Her night owl tendencies were backed up by an ability to go to bed early in the morning after streaming all night, then waking up 10+ hours later.
Hidden Buxom: her usual stream outfits downplay her very siable bust to varying levels. Thus, in things like the idol uniform or her concert outfit, one can be surprised what she's packing.
Humanlike Animal Aging: Implied to be a case of an inversion (Animallike Human Aging). As mentioned in her introductory video, she is 3 years old (in sheep years). According to Watame herself, that's 18-21 in human years.
Iconic Item: Is always seen with a small, white harp. Justified as she is said to be a bard. Ironically, she doesn't actually play the harp; according to her, it's automatic.
Innocent Swearing: Picked up "Goddamn!" from Calli, citing that she got hooked on to that word. The chat had to warn her to not use that word too much, even though Watame sees little harm in it and claims rappers use it a lot.
Jaw Drop: Similar to Miko's original model, Watame's mouth can also open up into a triangle shape if she uses the frowning expression. She dubbed it the "Mt. Fuji mouth" after the term was brought to her attention by her viewers, with the small white patch of her teeth being the "snow" and the shaded cavity of her mouth making up the rest of the "mountain".
Little Bit Beastly: While her sheep horns are obvious, she also has a pair of small, fuzzy sheep ears behind her bangs (they are the same color as her hair), as well as a fluffy sheep tail that can only be seen in her character sheet or in videos involving her 3D model. Notably, Watame is a rare case, in that unlike other members who also invoked this trope, she doesn't have human ears in addition to her sheep ones.
Meaningful Name: Watame roughly translates to "cotton", which is noted to be of similar material structure to that of sheep wool.
Metal Head: Implied. She has a distinct headbanging motion she tends to do, and at one point hums Kurenai by X Japan while headbanging as she streams herself playing ARK. It's a little more obvious when done with her 3D model.
Never My Fault:
- That one time where she "apologizes" for her, at the time, bad internet connection. It has since then become one of her most famous catchphrases she would use whenever the situation calls for it.
- Her weekly Girigiri Warukunai Watame shorts revolve around her getting up to shenanigans that are just outrageous enough to be raise eyebrows, but not so severe that she could be blamed of any real wrongdoing.
  Watame: Watame is... not at fault here, right?
The Night Owl: Because Watame sleeps during the day, most of her streams take place in the dead of night for Japan. This is one of the reasons she has so many English speaking fans, her streams usually take place sometime in the middle of the day to late afternoon for western countries. This also is why many of her Japanese fans claim to put on her soothing voice while trying to go to sleep.
Not-So-Innocent Whistle: She tends to do this (or tries to at any rate) whenever she shoots an Ui-beam on-stream, especially when Shigure Ui herself is there to catch her in the act.
Parental Abandonment: In the most heartbreaking way. Watame's parents divorced when she was young, and to make matters worse, her father said he'd rather put her in an orphanage than caring for her, and essentially walked out of her life, leaving her under the care of her mom and grandmother.
Prone to Tears: Being a gentle and emotional soul, sad things often get to her. Crying at multiple points at the end of Undertale, or crying when recounting her Dark and Troubled Past with regards to her Parental Issues, after receiving a lot of support from fans, are just a few examples of this.
Puni Plush: Her 3D model used in the Girigiri Warukunai Watame shorts has a distinctively rounder face and squishy cheeks that she often uses to make exaggerated expressions. How plushy her face is varies per episode, but the more outlandish ones tend to have it look like it was made out of jello.
Resurrective Immortality: Says it's alright even if she gets eaten because she'll respawn in 8 seconds. Instances where she demonstrates this include:
- The sun once roasted Watame over the course of 4 hours and ate her after she was turned into jingisukan. As some viewers expected, just after the sun finishes its meal, Watame respawns out of nowhere and reminds the audience of her 8 seconds respawn ability.
- After her Overcooked! 2 collab with Botan in September 2020, Watame was eaten by her off-screen. While she spent a short time in the afterlife wondering if she should cross over, Watame respawned (see the Butt-Monkey entry above for Botan's perspective).
Shipper on Deck: She's mentioned a few times that she really likes the OkaKoro ship, and part of her reason for joining hololive was to support said ship.
Show Within a Show: Runs a weekday segment called Watame no Uta ("Watame's Song Corner") where she sings 2 cover songs and plays Rock–Paper–Scissors for her viewers.
Singing Voice Dissonance: Despite her normal soothing speaking voice, she's capable of singing with the voice of a rock band vocalist.
Smug Smiler: Played for Laughs at times:
- In one stream where she introduces her new pillowcase for sale, she reacted to the quick purchases with a lewd joke and closing her eyes slowly, ending up with a smug-looking grin at the end. As this expression greatly amuses her, she proceeds to playfully do it over and over again.
  Watame: This is the first time I knew I could make such a facial expression! Even though it's my own face, it still amazes me that I could make such a face!
- Her general air in the Tsunomaki Janken (V1) segment of Watame no Uta can come off as such, especially if you happen to lose the game of Rock–Paper–Scissors.
Stealth Pun: One line in her Watame Rap has pun of names of her fellow Gen 4 members.
(Koko) kara (towa) no (kanata) he toma(ru na)
(From here don't stop to the other side ever)
Sweet Sheep: With a gentle voice, she has a sweet and mellow personality to match (comedic skits notwithstanding).
Tender Tears: Watame has a tendency to cry tears of happiness after receiving particularly poignant support from fans expressing how much joy she brings to them.
Token Wholesome: Enforced, at least in regards to merchandising. Watame actually wants to make more fanservice goods, but management and her coworkers insist it doesn't match her character.
Troll: Her final Tsunomaki Janken of her final Watame No Uta has her completely break the convention of her game to not give a rock, paper or scissors gesture, but a thumbs-up. Sakura Miko, Tsunomaki Janken Determinator, was not pleased with being cheated out of a legitimate win at the last episode of the series.
Trademark Favorite Food: Consommé-flavor potato chips. She is often seen with (and heard eating) potato chips in streams.
Use Your Head: Watame's signature Horn Drill move has her doing a head-first charge at her target to poke them with her horns.
Verbal Tic: Several.
- "dododo" (ドドド). "dododo", in this case, is a expression used to denote her (a sheep's) bustling movements. It is used whenever she is excited or nervous, or more commonly, as part of a phrase, such as "Konban-dododo!" (こん・ばん・ドドド!, lit. "Good evening"/"evening" + "dododo"). As seen in her introductory video, this was the first thing she officially said in-stream.
  Watame: Auuu-dodododododododododoh-dododododooh!
- She also has a habit of softly saying "Ah!" every now and then, especially if there has been a slight pause in between sentences.
Wandering Minstrel: Her official description in the Japanese hololive website states that she is (or at least was) leisurely traveling across the land as a bard.
Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises: Gangimari (a Japanese expression for the euphoric expression one does due to intake of psychotropic drugs), one of her signature expression of sorts. She can often be seen with this somewhat creepy, almost psychotic-looking smile-like expression, especially when AsaCoco is involved. However, this is mostly invoked by herself for comedic purposes. This expression has become enough of a signature trait that there is an official hololive pillow cover featuring it, and going as far as eventually becoming a 'standard feature' for most of the cast when they receive new Live2D models from 2020 onwards.
What the Hell Is That Accent?: She has remarked about being depressed because her intonation/accent while speaking Japanese is unusual.

Tokoyami Towa

Tokoyami Towa [JP: 常闇トワ; CN: 常暗永远]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/towa_2ddebut.png

"Kon-yappi!"

Debut date: January 3rd, 2020
Birthday: August 8th
Height: 150 cm
Fanbase name: Kin of Tokoyami
Illustrator: rurudo

Channel: Youtube

Social Media: Twitter

Alias: Towa-sama, Towa-kun (ikebo persona)
Affiliation: StartEnd (Apex Legends squad with Suisei and Aqua), HoloX^note

This is enough
I have a goal to reach, though it is far
And this is my world, it is wrapped up together with all my words
On the canvas of my dreams, which I will continue to paint
In the same colors burning within my heart now
It may be all too weak and frail
It may even crumble and fail
My mind's desire still takes flight toward all eternity
It will resonate with and dye the future in my own palette

— Palette

Towa is known for her deeper voice, especially when singing, her abnormally large ratio of overseas fans, and her wholesomeness, to the point that most of her fans insist that she's actually an angel. She's an avid APEX Legends player which is where most of her famous desk slams come from. Typically, she streams in the morning or evening with gaming, karaoke, and chatting streams. Her Kenzokus are close-knit, always greeting new members with "Welcome to the family!", and they get the chance to play with her in her monthly Apex Legends viewer participation endurance streams or in Overwatch viewer participation matches.

Although an infrequent participant in collabs earlier in her hololive career, she has grown into one of the most active collab organizers in hololive, organizing multiple massive Mario Kart tournaments and other big collabs. Frequent collab partners for her include Botan, Suisei, Subaru, Kanata, Ayame, Nene, Korone, Okayu, Mio, Watame, Pekora, and Marine; she was also the first senpai collab for Laplus. She also frequently collabs with vtubers from outside of hololive, especially in APEX Legends tournaments.

Absurdly Youthful Mother: Towa's artist mama, Rurudo, is also a vtuber. Her model however has a child-like Token Mini-Moe appearance, making her look much younger than Towa is.
Alliterative Name: Tokoyami Towa.
Aroused by Their Voice: When Roboco had a collaboration stream with her, Towa had just woken up, and Roboco couldn't help but make comments on her morning voice, which was very husky and hitting the deep end of the contralto range, contrasting Towa's usual nasal voice.
Ascended Demon: Is rather innocent and her fans enjoy calling her an angel.
Audience Surrogate: Bibi can be seen as one in the music video for "Palette"; supporting Towa and guiding her out of the darkness similar to how fans supported her during her hardships early in her career.
Berserk Button: Being called an angel is this. The first time, when someone called her cute, she asks her chat to repeat "Towa-sama is devil". Naturally, her chat went the other direction saying "Towa-sama is angel" instead. And when she did a free-style rap, she accidentally says "Towa is daitenshi" and ended that stream only to come back and blame her fans for "brainwashing" her into calling herself one.
Bootstrapped Leitmotif: -ERROR, a Vocaloid song originally by niki, is known Towa's theme song among fans not only because of how much she sings the song but also because it excellently shows off how powerful Towa's singing can be. Initially, it was covered by Towa live at the end of her 3D debut and subsequently got a studio release that is her most viewed cover song. She also regularly sings it during her karaoke streams and sang it again during her solo performance at Beyond the Stage, hololive 2nd fes.
Butt-Monkey:
- Downplayed, but it has gotten to the point that even her fellow hololive members refuse to call her a demon, no matter how much she insists otherwise.
- She is this especially for Gen 5, who love to tease her at every opportunity. Upon establishing her superiority over Gen 6, she assigns them to protect her from Gen 5.
By the Lights of Their Eyes: Her 3D model's eyes glow in the dark. This is made obvious during her collaboration concerts with Suisei, where her lime-colored irises retain their bright colour even as the flashing lights are turned off.
Creepy Cathedral: The 1st third of her 3D debut stream takes place in a run-down one, complete with pews and stained glass. Naturally, this was ripe for more angel jokes.
Continuity Nod: One of the final scenes in the music video of "Palette" is a picture frame referencing a popular screenshot of Towa smiling while spinning from her 3D debut.
Cute Little Fangs: As befitting of a devil girl, she has a pair that's often seen whenever she smiles or laughs.
Depending on the Artist: As rurudo put it, Towa's bust size depends on her mood.
Devil's Pitchfork: Sometimes uses one in a bid to prove that she's a devil, such as her 3d debut stream where she attacks the Bibi superchats and her fans' stand-in figure.
Embarrassing Nickname: She is known as "TMT" (Towa Maji Tenshi) among EN viewers and some JP talents. She has no love for the name and wants to be recognized as a devil.
Even the Girls Want Her: When she did a collaboration with Roboco, she had just woken up and her voice was so deep, both the chat and Roboco found her voice attractive.
Foil: Appropriately, she foils Kanata. Both have nasally-sounding voices but can be very powerful when they sing; however, Towa is an imp that can be quite angelic while Kanata is an angel who, while not outright devilish, can sometimes be a sadistic troll.
The Gadfly: She absolutely loves teasing and getting a rise out of La+, after finding out how big of a Fangirl her kouhai was. The Kenzoku at large were delighted to finally see Towa living up to her devilish image instead of being a Butt-Monkey all the time.
Girls Love Chocolate: She can get pretty worked up about chocolate. Polka and Suisei seperately shared an instance during practice when Towa had an odd, cat-like episode when she couldn't get any, with Uber Eats apparently being unable to deliver there.
Got Me Doing It: The chat calls her an angel so often that she accidentally calls herself one during a freestyle rap. She then ended her stream for a few seconds out of embarrassment.
Girlish Pigtails: She has a pair. In an anime short, the girls with twintails have the ability to fly. AkiRose however hovers.
Gratuitous English: Says "Oh my God" frequently enough that her chat keeps a counter in any given stream. She also gradually started learning more English as her foreign fanbase began to eclipse her Japanese speaking one so that she could get better at responding to her mostly English chat.
Head Pet: Towa's "hat" is actually her guardian, Bibi, who was given to her by her mother to look after her in the human world.
Hero Shooter: She enjoys the FPS genre and frequently streams Apex Legends with the occasional Overwatch, VALORANT, and Rainbow Six Siege.
Hidden Depths: Outside of playing FPS games, she is also very athletic. She is able to do multiple sit-ups with Suisei one of the few who actually could keep up with her (Suisei only lost by one point behind her while Matsuri and Kanata barely keep up). She is also one of the few girls who can play Ring Fit Adventure with little to no exhaustion, since while she does sound tired, she doesn't overexert herself when she plays.
Hidden Heart of Gold: It's not really that well hidden, but she often tries to make it seem as such. Her attempts to be devilish tend to be minor, and her nicer, gentler acts are quickly brushed off by her when she does them.
Hoist by His Own Petard: She tried pranking both Apex Legends EU champion "rpr" and "TrulySquid" by playing as Wraith and using her ultimate ability to create portals towards the edge of the map, but walks too far and falls down the chasm.
"I Am Becoming" Song: Her first original "Palette" describes the challenges she faced early in her career at hololive before becoming who she is today thanks to the support of her fans.
The Imp: This is what she's supposed to be, a young imp who wants to be a full-fledged devil.
I'm Standing Right Here:
- Happens in one episode of HoloGra where Nene and Botan are caught doing bad Towa impressions in the office, while Towa herself is standing barely an arm's length away from them, who promptly clotheslines her two kouhai.
- Botan and Korone accidentally do this to her when the former opts to cancel a stream to hang out with the latter. They both announced this on their Twitter feeds but forgot to mention Towa, who wasn't just joining them, she was physically in front of them when they sent their tweets out.
Insistent Terminology: She is a devil, not an angel. Though her general behavior and mannerisms will always make fans refer to her as an angel.
Irony:
- She does not like the pressure associated with using Gibraltar in Apex Legends tournaments but, unfortunately for her, he's her mainstay in competitive settings and she's so good with him that pros praise her supportive plays.
- Despite playing a lot of shooters, she didn't know what the T meant for TPS, although she usually plays FPS.
Kiai: During her Indivisible playthrough, Towa calls out her button presses in battles since each party member uses a different button to attack.
Kick the Dog: Occasionally tries to invoke this to prove her devilish nature to her chat, which rarely ever succeeds. One example involving an actual dog occurred in an early Minecraft stream where she draws her bow on a wolf. Naturally, she ends up not being able to go through with it.
Laser-Guided Karma: Her attempts at being evil mostly amount to pulling pranks, which tend to backfire. The aforementioned Apex collab with rpr where she tries to plant an exit portal over a chasm for her teammates to fall through only to end up falling herself when setting it up being a glaring example. As an extra helping of karma, rpr punches her back off of the map for it soon afterwards.
Leg Focus: As Choco herself notes, her bare legs are rather prominent, though Towa herself would prefer to not receive so much attention.
Manchild: Downplayed, as she's generally pretty mature for the most part, with the exceptions being skits and HoloGra featuring her. In one Devilish Deed skit during her 3D debut stream, after stealing Kanata's halo previously, she proceeds to play with it like a frisbee, throwing it across a park and picking it up to throw it again and again, complete with cries of excitement and laughter that make it sound like she's having the time of her life.
Meaningful Name: "Towa" means "Eternity". This was incorporated into the final chorus in her original song "Palette".
The Mentally Disturbed: Jokingly regarded as being mentally insane whenever she's mentioned on AsaCoco despite being (or because she's) perhaps the most "normal" of 4th gen.
Minion with an F in Evil:
- Her backstory is that she's trying to learn the evils of humanity through streaming, but her gentle personality and politeness has earned her an unwanted reputation as an angel instead.
- During group Among Us streams, she has a habit of fixing sabotages that would help the imposter team, as the imposter.
- During one Hololive Graffiti episode, she takes Pekora's advice to start assaulting people with a toy hammer in order to appear more evil. Unfortunately, the first person she happens to assault is Korone, who doesn't take too kindly to that.
- During the Hololive Graffiti episode with Coco's final appearance, she tries to murder Coco to "make her graduate by her own hand" and she is easily disarmed and defeated.
Mundane Made Awesome: Towa legitimately had no idea that pressing F5 will refresh her browser page until Subaru told her so, whereupon she treated the tip as if it's some kind of divine revelation.
Ms. Exposition: Having been the only member of Hololive participating in the first Among Us collaboration to have played plenty of Among Us off stream ^note, Towa gave a nearly 20 minute long tutorial demonstrating the game's mechanics in a practice round as well as a Japanese translated version of the game's instructions for both her Japanese audience and her co-stars that had never played the game before. She also had prepared a translated map that she later showed to the audience, presumably made to avoid another moment like the infamous "Cafeteria in my soul" bit from one of Roberu's streams.
Nice Girl: She is notably nice to her chat and co-workers. In fact, during an Among Us stream, she noticed Kanata was unusually quiet during the whole game (not as an Impostor, but because Kanata had no idea what was going on), and tried to reach out to her when they were both killed.
Not So Above It All: She doesn't really do the whole Pseudo-Romantic Friendship thing and is generally a Reluctant Fanservice Girl, but once in a blue moon, she'll eat the eye candy if it's especially obvious. For instance, in her 2021 birthday stream retrospective, she couldn't help but point out Mio's "sexy dancing" at one point.
Only Sane Man: Despite her own quirks, Towa plays this for the rest of the completely bonkers fourth generation during collabs, despite her insistence that she is a chaotic demon. She is relatively down to earth, next to a Funny Foreigner who pushes to the edge of what both Hololive and Youtube will accept, a princess who alternates between baby talk and Troubling Unchildlike Behavior, a sheep who talks drugs, perverted thoughts and getting eaten, and an angel with the strength of a gorilla who has a mastery of PowerPoint presentations and streams for days on end. This even applies outside of fourth gen, to the point where it gets lampshaded all the time by the other members of Hololive.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Towa is normally known to be a nice girl with her friends and co-workers but, in a scene seemingly straight out of a Snickers "You're not you when you're hungry" commercial, she threw a tantrum during practice once while really hungry and craving for chocolate. Suisei and Polka shared this, both being really surprised when it happened.
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Justified during an early morning stream with Roboco. She had just gotten up moments before the stream started and is not able to draw out her character's voice, resulting in a Tomboyish Voice that's comparable to Ange Katrina.
Percussive Therapy: Known to slam her desk when frustrated. Desk-kun is mourned by fans on each occasion, to the point Towa eventually started believing it to be a summoning ritual for English speaking fans.
Poke the Poodle: What her devilishness amounts to. In her 3D debut stream, she did such devilish things as taking two free samples instead of just one.
Rage Quit: Invoked for her Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy streams. The title of the first attempt said she'd quit as soon as she gets angry and the title of the second was that she wanted to do better than ten minutes.
Shipping Torpedo: Proclaims that she is the leader of the Anti AquSui ship.
Sickeningly Sweet: On a collab stream with Mel, Kanata, Luna and La+, Towa doesn't think much of Mel suggesting everyone introduce themselves with a invokedMoe voice until Mel actually starts doing it, with Towa immediately voicing her irritation. As everyone else follows suit, she claims to develop a stomachache from sheer irritation.
Singing Voice Dissonance: Towa usually speaks with a nasal voice, but has a surprisingly strong and husky voice when singing.
Sound-Effect Bleep: Towa's announcement of the announcement stream of her 3D debut stream has her asking the audience to come or else she'll *bleeeeep*.
Sure, Let's Go with That: When she once received a superchat message asking if TMT stands for "Towa-sama Maji Troll", rather than correct the user and admit to being "Towa Maji Tenshi", responds with a yes to confirm their question.
Talks Like a Simile: Towa's attempts to describe a particular snack for everyone else to guess get creative. Okayu questions how she even guessed it right.
Towa: Maybe it's better if my examples involved love. Your first love- It's kinda like love between friends. It's not lovey-dovey. Friendship that turned lovey-dovey.
Team Mom: Occasionally finds herself in this role during collabs with EN and ID girls, most notably FuwaMoco.
Tears of Joy: Towa couldn't stop crying once she reached 300,000 Youtube subscribers and all reading all the messages of support from her chat. She continued crying into the next song.
Terrible Artist: Her art is just barely good enough to be recognizable as the intended subject. Still, she doesn't let that stop her from joining drawing collabs.
Tournament Play: Towa follows pro APEX players very closely. She has done watch-alongs for pro APEX matches for her members before and reacted with sadness on Twitter that one of her favorite players suddenly retired. She's also well acquainted with some of the VTubers who manage to break into Apex Predator ranking, namely Virtual Gorilla.
Trademark Favorite Food: According to Towa during a collab roleplaying game hosted by Mio, it's nasu, or in English, eggplant. She later explained to her fans she was referring to the way her mother cooks them. This also led to an amusing moment with her English fans where she believed they had suddenly started talking about a literal plant made of eggs before the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up.
Vocal Dissonance: Her avatar does not at all match her more mature sounding voice, whether it be normal or singing.
What the Hell Is That Accent?: Discussed by her after she read comments claiming that she was hard to understand. In response, she briefly starts over-enunciating every word before returning to her regular voice because it's hard to keep talking like that.
Yandere: Being the Killer in Dead by Daylight brings out her devilish, Sadist side.
Towa: I'm glad~ Did that feel good~? Let's go to hell together from now on, okay?
Yoko Oh No: Had a brief spat with this trope around March 2020 when people started harrassing her over the presence of two men in the background audio of an APEX Legends stream (which has since been made private). Not helping the matter was Towa panic lying about said men being hololive staff members. Cover Corp. ended up having her not stream for a week to sort out her mental health and to buy some time for Cover higher-ups to address the harassers. Despite this, her popularity overseas actually improved from the incident mostly because of cultural differences.

I've got a moon swing and a shooting star slide,
I've got so many fun things,
You're not playing hard enough, yet!
There's still more more more more to go!
Nano Nanora!

— Absolute Loyalty♡Nanonanora!

The princess of the Candy Kingdom. A cutesy and rather needy girl (though not quite on the level of Shion or Chloe), she's best known for her skills with the piano and her babyish voice. She loves being spoilt and pampered, and as a result will often act clingy towards other talents (most notably Subaru and Choco).

Achievements in Ignorance: In the hololive collaboration with Suisei, Roboco (who were hosts), Matsuri, Mel, Polka, A-chan, Towa, Lamy, Nene, Fubuki, and AkiRose, she manages to win the Yacht Dice tournament without knowing the rules of the game twice.
Amusing Injuries: Subverted:
- In her collaboration stream, with Subaru she physically fell off her chair and landed on the floor very hard after a particularly nasty Jump Scare in the VR Horror game they were playing. It aggravated existing neck pain so badly that she had to go to the hospital. Scans showed that she fortunately did not break any bones but her injury was still quite serious as it caused damage of the ligaments in her neck. During her recovery from the neck injury she also suffered from side effects to the pain medicine she was taking that made her sick.
- Not long after the VR Horror incident, Luna had to have an injection in her right hand after developing Tenosynovitis. It resurfaced a while later, where she painfully tried to talk about it on a stream before she had the doctor the following day only to struggle to keep her kayfabe voice while wincing in agony. It got so bad she eventually had to have surgery on it.
Animated Armor: There isn't actually anything under a LuKnight's armour, making them surprisingly light.
Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Is actually offended when Matsuri says she wouldn't try to do anything to her because she had no sex appeal, to the point of asking the viewers to draw NSFW art of her to prove her wrong.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The Nanorazilla, which is her Expy of Godzilla that she invented as a joke while playing the series theme song on her piano.
Luna: Nanora is strong! I won't go easy on you humans!
The Baby of the Bunch: A literal baby given her being 0-year-old. Jokes aside, she was considered this for Gen 4 and the entirety of Hololive by extension due to her small stature and childish behavior, but has since been supplanted by Gawr Gura, Nanashi Mumei, La+ Darknesss and Kobo Kanaeru in this department.
Badass Boast: In her game with Botan, Choco, and Subaru in the zombie mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, she's armed with a shovel that can One-Hit Kill anything. One of them picks up the "Max Ammo" power up and this is all she has to say:
Luna: I've no need for bullets.
Choco: (while chuckling) "I've no need for bullets"...!
Subaru: Since you have your shovel!
Berserk Button:
- Dislikes being called a baby, insisting that she is a "sexy woman" and getting angry when people were hesitant to draw lewd art of her.
  Luna: Baby? NO! I'm cutest beautiful sexy adult sexy beautiful beautiful sexy adult adult genius Jesus genius sexy sexy sexy woman! Adults-only stream.
- Messing up preparing her beloved Takoyaki is another easy way to incur her wrath... just ask Haato.
  Luna: Haachama, the oil... (snaps) ADD THE FREAKIN' OIL! THE OIL!
Covert Pervert: She has admitted to reading and downloading R-20 manga, something that surprises Pekora, Marine, and Chloe which the latter two ask her later on as to what she's reading.
Cross-Popping Veins: Gained these as part of an angered expression with her model's 3.0 update.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite her unassuming child-like demeanor, she's surprisingly adept at Dark Souls and other such games, having at one point beaten the Remastered edition with no armor sets and minimal enchantments. This gave rise to her nicknames of "Battle Princess" or "War Princess" among her fandom.
Curb-Stomp Battle:
- Delivers one to Flare, Korone, and Haachama at bowling. Special mention to Haachama when Luna keeps bowling consecutive strikes while she can do as little as a spare, to the point that Haachama was beginning to lose what little sanity she had left.
- When Miko challenged her to an online duel in Pokémon Shining Pearl, Luna casually swatted Miko's team of starters with the likes of Gyarados and Absol.
Cute, but Cacophonic:
- She knows her voice is somewhat annoying to the other hololive members and tends to play it up for all it's worth. Marine in particular jokingly refers to her as the kind of friend that one would punch in the face because of what she does with her voice.
  Luna: Marine-senchou! Congratulations on 250,000 subs ~nanoraaaaaaaaaa...
  Marine: (copying her tone of voice) Thank you, ~nanor-
  Luna: ...aaaaaaaaaaaaa...
  Marine: Shut up! That's enough! (laughs) I really wanna beat you up.
- Marine would later follow through in a drawing collab stream where she repeatedly "punched" Luna in the face.
- Matsuri isn't 100% on board Luna's cuteness because she knows that if she brings it up, she'll get all smug about it in a loud manner that annoys her.
Deliberately Cute Child: Is not above using her cuteness to get her way; Choco noted that she is very good at getting people to dote on her even in real life. Even when she foisted unreasonable demands on Subaru during their sleepover — including demanding bath bombs and a ziplock bag for her phone when asked to take a bath, and then rummaging through Subaru's freezer to eat her ice cream afterward — Subaru did not appear to be upset about it after the fact, and even found it funny. Luna was able to snuggle up to Choco later on in the night and generally get pampered.
Drunken Master: Joined Polka and Matsuri’s Monster Hunter: Rise collab right after doing a drinking stream, and still managed to completely wipe the floor with the monster the former two had called her in to help them with.
Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: The English subtitles on hololive's official YouTube channel often substitute her "-nanora" Verbal Tic with this.
Enfant Terrible: She was this to Matsuri in a game of Granny Simulator. Fortunately for Matsuri, she failed hilariously, unable to injure Matsuri while constantly getting tazed and getting kicked through the air and out glass windows in turn, even with a handicap of no healing for Matsuri. It all culminates with Matsuri procrastinating on the last task to win the game just so she can stun and kick Luna again for shits and giggles.
Fangirl: Of Tony Hawk. One of her gifts from her fans for reaching 500k YouTube subscribers was commissioning a video message from him to her. She was extremely pleased to see this.
Feminine Women Can Cook: Is noted to be among the performers who knows her way around the kitchen and will sometimes host members-only cooking streams.
Funsize: At just 140cm or 4'7'' (without her crown), this made her the shortest member of hololive for quite some time, until La+ debuted who became the new shortest member.
Giftedly Bad: Her drawings are really something that have to be seen to be believed.
Genre Savvy: When it comes to Coco at the very least, as her first response after the former tries to get her to say something was to ask if it was something she'd have to censor out. It was.
Hidden Depths:
- Luna began developing her skills at playing a piano keyboard. She particularly likes playing Godzilla's theme and continues to improve over time. When she got hold of a new Electone, let's just say her cover of certain songs left the audience speechless.
- While playing a Programming Game^noteGame Builder Garage, to be specific on her Switch, Luna revealed that she's at least dabbled in various programming languages earlier in life, recognizing an in-game for loop as being written in C++ and naming C, SQL, VBA and COBOL among what she knows. She's also had just enough experience with SQL to vaguely remember that it's "the one with those SELECT statements".
- She also has a heavy motorcycle license, allowing her to ride any big-displacement bike with or without a sidecar attached.
Innocent Swearing: Possibly. She doesn't know much English, but her AsaCoco segments are played off as a cute "word/phrase of the day". all of which tend to be incredibly vulgar. Coco also tried to get her to spell out "If you seek Amy" ^note during a gameplay stream but stopped when her chat started telling her that Coco was being a bad influence and was trying to get her to say something vulgar.
Kayfabe: Luna's dedication to maintaining her character is very notable in that she absolutely refuses to drop her baby affectation or her "nanora" tic. It takes surprise, a lot of annoyance, great physical pain, or trauma to get her to slip up.
Lethal Joke Item: Anytime she collaborates with Subaru, Choco, and Botan (dubbed as SubaChocoLunaTan), the games end up giving her these items which she ends up using to devastating effect, surprising her and the rest of her team. Notable ones include the entrench tool in their Call of Duty zombie mode game and the Frying Pan of Doom in Left 4 Dead 2.
Liquid Courage: She's pretty easy to scare when it comes to her playing horror games under normal conditions, but if she plays while drunk, her fear disappears and she instead becomes very sassy towards everything that's supposed to scare her.
Malaproper:
- During her Super Metroid stream, she refers to Maridia as Malaria.
- After feeding the name into Google Translate multiple times, she starts to mishear Let It Be as Wallaby, which she proceeded to play on her piano and adopt as a channel emote.
The Night Owl: Most of her streams tend to be done late in the evening in Japan, usually around midnight.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
- Absolutely breaks the sweet and cute innocent girl act when it came to watching Akai Haato cook takoyaki.
- This happens as well when playing Emily Wants To Play as part of a 3D stream with Subaru; after falling out of a chair out of terror she completely breaks character and doesn't even bother trying to use her in-character voice for the majority of the stream moving forward.
- Before going to the doctor to get her tendonitis looked at, she attempted to stream and explain the situation. She was in so much pain that she was barely able to keep up the voice and would wince out very frequently.
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: On the occasions where Luna is too distracted to maintain character (e.g. Haachama's infamous takoyaki cooking), she will drop all of her Verbal Tics and begin speaking in a much more mature voice similar to that of Choco's. Occasionally, she would subvert this trope for gags by deliberately speaking in such manner before quickly reverting to her "baby voice".
Only Sane Woman: She often has a tendency of being wiser than the Cloudcuckoolanders around her, with notable examples being her trying to tell Haato how to properly make takoyaki and pointing out how foolish Aki and Aqua are acting with Korone and Okayu in "To Be Young Again".
Puni Plush: Her Live2D 3.0 upgrade made her face even rounder than it used to be, while also puffing her cheeks out, thus amplifying this effect.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: She has pale pink hair and a cute aesthetic all-around, which makes it even more hilarious when she does things like make fart noises towards her viewers, attempt (and fail) to murder Matsuri during a game of Granny Simulator, or host English classes featuring the words/phrases "Pervert", "Son of a Bitch", and "Kiss my ass", among others.
Save Scumming: She does this on her Raft playthrough to catch the animals at Caravan Town.
Serious Business: She takes cooking very seriously and food shenanigans, like what Haachama does, tilts her so hard that she drops her voice affectation and tic.
Signature Laugh: In fitting with her rather distinctive manner of speaking, Luna has a high-pitched, nasally giggle that sounds uncannily like an actual baby's laugh.
Simpleton Voice: Has this as part of her character, drawing out a lot of her vowels and slurring words like a child would (e.g. "daisuki" becomes "daichuki"). Official English subs on the main hololive channel depict it as Elmuh Fudd Syndwome.
Singing Voice Dissonance: For the most part this is averted, as she typically sings in the same voice she does normally. But on extremely rare occasions, She'll be singing in a different, more mature tone briefly during some of her songs, with this voice being dubbed 'Anemori'.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Has this dynamic with Haachama in collabs ever since the takoyaki incident.
Spoiled Brat: Subaru claims Luna acts like this off-stream, recounting an anecdote of Luna and Choco's first visit to her house. Luna tries to fall asleep on Subaru's bed, then she gets grumpy when Subaru asks her nicely to take a bath first. When she relents, Luna demands bath bombs and a ziplock bag to waterproof her phone in. After the bath, she rummages through Subaru's freezer demanding ice cream, complaining when her favorite flavor wasn't inside. Subaru took it all in good humor though, and a common joke among fans involves Luna being so hard to get to break character because she basically is her character.
Subaru: (laughing) That little... she was out of control!
Squee: She was very delighted at watching Bahamut fighting Odin in Final Fantasy XVI, even calling Bahamut "Bahamut-senpai".
Tantrum Throwing: In fitting with being zero years old and her disposition as a particularly pampered young princess, Luna has sometimes thrown loud tantrums when things go particularly wrong for her. One notable instance had her — after a connection error kicked her from the queue for an exclusive online Crane Game which she waited at least an hour to play — fly into a particularly impressive one where she's heard repeatedly pounding her desk and yelling incomprehensible Nano-lish in full-on rage mode.
Luna: What do you mean by exceptional error... WHAT IS THIS?! (beats the desk while yelling "NA! NA! NA! NA! NA!" repeatedly) I waited for an hour! (Beat) DON'T MESS WITH ME! WHY CAN'T I PLAY?!
The Tease:
- Towards Matsuri. Since Luna's introduction as a member, Matsuri and Luna have gotten incredibly close and consider each other very close friends. This doesn't really stop Matsuri from flirting with everyone else, but Luna notices that Matsuri treats her very differently from how she treats others on an emotional level, which Matsuri vehemently denies. She also is quick to point out that fan artists are right when they draw them together but with Luna as the more dominant one. She will send Matsuri said fan art, much to Matsuri's chagrin and insistence that the roles should be reversed.
- With the establishment of SubaChocoLuna, she wasted no time in being this towards Subaru.
Technicolor Eyes: Her right eye is pink, her left is green. The color difference is so subtle due to the rest of her palette that many viewers were legitimately surprised to learn this, when she said she was revealing one of her "secrets".
Token Mini-Moe: The youngest member of hololive (at zero years of age), along with being one of the smallest at only 140cm (4'7'') which made her the shortest member before La+ debuted.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: The girly girl to Subaru's tomboy, who she's rather close with.
Trademark Favorite Food: Takoyaki.
Troll: She occasionally falls into this, such as when she says things to specifically get Matsuri riled up, or to mess with her fans.
The Unintelligible:
- During her Super Metroid stream where she only spoke English, she would occasionally verge into this, most often while flustered by the game or unsure of what word to use, and thus confuse both Japanese and English viewers because no one could understand her.
- Some Japanese viewers comment they can't understand her even when she speaks Japanese. Luna herself stated that she has trouble understanding what she says when watching clips. These unintelligible moments make up what the fans term "Nanolish".
Unsportsmanlike Gloating: She has a tendency to tease the loser when she wins anything competitive, as Haato and Subaru can attest to.
Verbal Tic:
- "nanora" (なのら) at the end of her sentences.
- She frequently clicks her tongue when she gets angry. Over the course of her first year of streaming, this tic has changed into something that sounds like slurping noises, something that Miko pokes fun at during a collab stream.
Vocal Evolution: Over the years, Luna's voice became noticeably less 'baby' sounding while also being less high-pitched.
With Friends Like These...:
- Played for Laughs. Luna's existence seems to get under Marine's skin, with just about anything the princess says or does resulting in Disproportionate Retribution from the pirate.
- Also with the SubaChocoLunaTan group where the other three make jokes at her CIJ intro screen.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: During her trip inside the Selene Research Facility at Temperance Snow Island in Raft, she ends up screaming at the fact that she has to fight scuttler bugs while inside irradiated areas.
Younger Than They Look: She's actually zero years old, but looks more like a young teenager.
