While 2021 was mostly ANYCOLOR testing the waters with the newly-established English branch and the Virtual Training Acedemy pilot project, coupled with the overall world situation in the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the main branch still debuted one wave of livers with Team EDEN.

Wave 1 (Team EDEN / Eden-gumi / エデン組)

Lauren Iroas

---

• The Ace:
  • Like Selen who debuted shortly before him, Lauren mentions that he was an Apex Predator-level player in Apex Legends before joining Nijisanji, and it definitely shows in his APEX streams. He also claims that he's slightly out of shape, despite having pulled an incredible feat like finishing a no-fill match with 7,000 damage, a 20 bomb and using Wraith.
  • Lauren served as the ace pitcher of Ibrahim's Empire Corvas High School during the NIJISANJI Koshien 2023, having the most stars of Ibrahim's team and being the second strongest player in the tournament, being only surpassed by the maxed out "Ohtani" Kuzuha.
• Badass Longcoat: He wears a black longcoat as part of his standard outfit.
• Big Eater: He can apparently eat three full meals' worth of food in one sitting. It might have something to do with his smoking habit keeping him from realizing he's hungry until he's really ravenous.
• Put on a Bus: Lauren went on a self-imposed hiatus beginning the first week of March 2022 and ending almost two months later, after an accidental desktop reveal during his casting of a Valorant tournament at the end of February showed him to be in possession of pirated Japanese Adult Videos (JAVs).

Leos Vincent

Leos Vincent [JP: レオス・ヴィンセント; CN: 雷奥斯・文森特]

Debut date: July 22nd, 2021
Birthday: March 8th
Age: 29
Height: 180cm
Illustrator: 丁嵐あたらよ
Channel: YouTube
Social Media: Twitter

An eccentric mad scientist with a loud voice, he keeps a mysterious creature "Mameneko" with him.

---

• Large Ham: His characteristic loud voice leads to entertaining reactions during gaming streams.
• Mad Scientist: He conducts questionable experiments in his apartment.

Oliver Evans

Oliver Evans [JP: オリバー・エバンス; CN: 奥利弗・埃文斯]

Debut date: July 22nd, 2021
Birthday: February 21st
Age: 28
Height: 190cm
Illustrator: 夏子
Channel: YouTube
Social Media: Twitter

A teacher of cultural anthropology, fluent in both Japanese and English.

---

• Cute and Psycho: He's attractive, both in looks and voice, and has an impressive psycho killer game if he should so choose.
• Hot Teacher: According to his profile, he's popular with female students.
• Insistent Terminology: He is part of Nijisanji JP and not Nijisanji EN. Unfortunately, pretty much all of NijiEN simply ignore this and call him their genmate regardless.
  • Management even seems to have decided to lean into this by having him be one of presenters to introduce Luxiem, the actual first male members of Nijisanji EN.
  • Even the other members of Team EDEN got in on the fun, much to his dismay.
• Iron Butt Monkey: Whenever he collabs with NijiEN, expect him to be their punching bag due to the constant teasing that he'd be more at home in EN than JP. That said, he puts up with their teasing like a champ, because he knows he'll pay them back tenfold by demolishing them in collabs.
• The Smart Guy: Oliver is easily the most knowledgeable addition to the roster, making good on his kayfabe as a teacher. On the 18th edition of NijiQuiz, Oliver very quickly provides accurate answers to a large percentage of the questions, including one where he identifies the Statue of Liberty as soon as the image barely pans out to reveal the base of the green-coloured statue.

Lain Paterson

Lain Paterson [JP: レイン・パターソン; CN: 兰・帕特森]

Debut date: July 22nd, 2021
Birthday: January 13th
Age: 25
Height: 163cm
Nickname: Pata-nee (パタ姐)
Illustrator: lack
Channel: YouTube
Social Media: Twitter

A skillful bodyguard whose life was once saved by a shark.

---

• Action Girl: Implied by her profession.
• Animal Motifs: Sharks. She also has a shark plushie in her model.
• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She's the sole female member of Nijisanji's 2021 crew, and her default outfit shows her midriff.
• Dark Horse Victory: Paterson ended up winning the NIJISANJI Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 2023 Tournament, which consists of 20 participants from JP, EN, ex-ID and ex-KR. Only very few people expected her to win the tournament, especially since she was pitted against fan favorites like Leos and Sophia. Paterson lampshaded this.
• The Gambling Addict: Her preferred gambles are pachislot and boat racing; she sometimes talks about her losses on stream.
• One of the Boys: All four of her debut partners are male, but she doesn't seem to have any trouble fitting in.
• Stripperiffic: A given, with her default outfit consisting of a narrow white tube top paired with tight black shorts and stockings revealing a lot of skin.

Retired Members

Axia Krone

Axia Krone [JP: アクシア・クローネ; CN: 艾西亚・克朗]

A mecha pilot and member of "Thrones" along with Lauren.

---

• Badass Cape: His standard outfit has a cape that reaches down to his knees.
• Put on a Bus: He was put on hiatus on August 18, 2022, due to him and AnyColor preparing to engage in litigation against antis that were spear-heading a smear campaign against him. However, a Bus Crash would ensue at around 1300 JST on December 1, 2022, in which Axia announced that he was graduating, effective the day prior, partly as a result of continued harassment from antis as well as Creative Differences between himself and AnyColor, with his channel being closed down a few days later on December 7th.
