    A-E 
  • The Ace: This applies to her in terms of general gaming, either doing well off the bat or learning to do so quickly. It's likely it was her general interest and skill in games that had her made leader of Hololive GAMERS.
  • Adorable Fluffy Tail: Has a fluffy white tail with a black tip. It is extremely poofy and has a white star on it.
  • Animal Motifs: Foxes.
  • Animorphism: She took the form of a regular fox in the beginning of her 2020 New Year's outfit debut stream, and was later shown to be able to transform back into human form at will.
  • Ascended Fangirl:
  • Asian Fox Spirit: She's a kitsune, or Japanese fox spirit. During Kiara's HoloTalk stream with her as the guest, she confirmed that she is indeed a Youkai and indirectly justifies her cat-like behaviors (as well as the many different forms she's known to take) as the work of kitsunes' ability to shapeshift.
  • Attractive Bent-Gender: Her ikebo persona "Byakko no FUBUKI".
  • Awesome Mc Cool Name: Sometimes uses "Whiteout Blizzard" as a screen name, which is a rather literal translation of her name. Some of her fellow members like to comment on how awesome it sounds.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: In Yamato Phantasia, Fubuki explains to Nue that foxes - and therefore fox ayakashi - used to be more naturally attuned to stigma than most, resulting in a good few fox youkai prior to the days of Inari. Despite being born with a similar natural affinity towards stigma, Fubuki is nothing but a good-willed sweetheart.
  • Breakout Character: In terms of subscriber counts Fubuki jumped to the top of her generation shortly after her debut and surpassed Tokino Sora to become the most subscriber Hololiver in late 2019. She was the first Hololiver to reach subscriber milestones 300K to 900K, all in less than a year's time. On June 12th, 2020, she was featured in her own collab with PeroPeroGames and X.D. Network Inc., where her 1st original song, Say! Fanfare!, was added to Muse Dash as a playable song.
  • Butt-Monkey: In her Watame Did Borderline Nothing Wrong appearances, she will generally be a victim of Watame's antics. Some instances include her running towards Watame to pass a baton but Watame running faster, tiring her out, letting her stand back and do all the work in a tug-o-war game against Noel, and Watame holding a phone when Polka wanted to speak to Fubuki.
  • The Cameo: She made a short appearance alongside Matsuri in Episode 3 of The Detective is Already Dead.
  • Cloudcuckoolander:
    • She has some of the most unusual content in the cast, like her infamous acapella covers of songs like "Scatman".
    • Her strange behavior also tends to be a catalyst for some of the most unique streams in hololive, such as streaming Minecraft chunk mining for over 2 hours (she made a poll with "just dig a hole in Minecraft" as an option, the usual happened and she went with it) or setting up an unscheduled waiting stream for her colleagues to wake up for their scheduled stream (which needed her to improvise four hours of content).
  • Carnivore Confusion: Possibly the No. 1 Carnivore of Hololive, labelling many other Hololive members as her food, with the most notable receipient being Watame.
  • Cool and Unusual Punishment: Fubuki was subjected to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on multiple occasions as punishment for losing contests against Oga.
  • Cool Big Sis: To the majority of Holostars. Most of them refer to her as Onee-san, particularly Roberu.
  • Comedic Lolicon: Despite her Likes Older Men thing, she comically declared herself to be a lolicon and dreams to lolify everyone in Hololive, the thing which causes Oozora Police to arrest her. Shotas are not safe either as Suzuki Masaru had found out.
    Fubuki: As I thought, Loli-live is the best!
    Subaru: You're the worst! Reflect on your actions!
  • Comedic Sociopathy: Not to the same extent as Suisei, but she has her moments. Whenever she plays Project Winter as a traitor, she tends to stalk her targets and catch them off guard. If a teammate dies, she tends to drag their corpse around and acts as if they're still alive.
  • Confronting Your Imposter: Quite literally during a match of Among Us, where Fubuki ran into Miko disguising as her.
  • Country Mouse: Playing into the fact that she has a Kansai accent, Fubuki also plays up being a bumpkin by her both knowing how to play and owning a harmonica.
  • Determinator: When she sets her mind to a goal, she will do it no matter the cost to her sanity. This shows when she goes into self-imposed chance-based challenges, like acquiring a blue axolotl in Minecraft or a shiny Magikarp in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Violet.
  • Drives Like Crazy: In Player Unknowns Battlegrounds, much to the chagrin of the other girls she's played with. Okayu seems to be a magnet for getting run over by her.
  • Embarrassment Plot: She cooks up one as the GM of a session of Call of Cthulhu, repeatedly attempting to put Ayame, Mio and Subaru in embarrassing situations while playing the role of a stereotypical Otaku.
    Ayame: Moe moe kyun! [laughs and runs away from the camera] I wanna die!

    F-L 
  • Fangirl:
    • Fubuki loves Ace Combat, having streamed playthroughs of 5 and 7, as well as expressing excitement at the announcement of the 25th anniversary symphony. That said, she's grown to hate tunnel runs ever since she crashed multiple times in 5's penultimate mission.
      Fubuki: [Sees the surviving ADF-11 drone fly into the undersea tunnel] YOU BASTARD! THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT! THERE WAS A TUNNEL!
    • Of Happy Tree Friends. She revealed this when her chat noticed her humming the opening on her English-only streaming challenge.
    • She has been described as "hololive's biggest fan" and has often expressed great admiration towards her fellows. Once, she met Calliope in real life and asked for her handshake like an awestruck fan.
    • Fubuki is also a big fan of Yūichi Nakamura and occasionally gushes about him on stream. Upon receiving a personal happy birthday message from him in October 2021, Fubuki went full panic mode for several minutes while Squeeing non-stop in the background. Based on her conversation with Marine after the message ended, it's implied that Fubuki was moved to tears from being noticed by her oshi.
  • Fetish: Besides the Likes Older Men entry below, Fubuki has a weakness for glasses. She once went on a rant over their appeal that stunned Marine and Luna into silence. Naturally, she was really excited to show off her Live2D model getting glasses (and, just like the rant, she has both thick-framed and half-framed glasses).
  • Gratuitous English: Fubuki regularly uses the English word for "friend", "no", "sorry", "thank you", and occasionally a few other phrases as well as English internet slang like "Get Rekt". When she attempted her English-only challenge the viewers noted that while her usage is mostly correct and her pronunciation is fantastic, her vocabulary is extremely small.
  • The Gambling Addict: She loves gacha games, and has admitted to often spending more than she really should on certain games. Fate/Grand Order, Arknights and Twisted Wonderland seem to be some of her favorites. In fact, many fans noted that her 1 million bilibili celebration costume makes her look like she's an Arknights character. She's even stretched this gambling addiction to Minecraft by digging straight down and seeing whether she finds diamonds or magma (or the latter right after the former, as it happened).
  • Genki Girl: She's very excitable, energetic, and prone to some doing some truly strange things to entertain herself or her fans, intentionally or not.
  • Guest Fighter:
    • Fubuki is one of the six members chosen to represent hololive during a 2019 collaboration event with Azur Lane, taking on the role of Destroyer gameplay-wise.
    • She also appears in Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny as a white Prinny named Fubuking.
  • The Heart: She's been deemed as such by Matsuri, claiming her to be the pillar of hololive and kept it steady throughout her time as a Vtuber both online and offline, which seems to be an idea that's rather strongly agreed upon by her fans and fellow idols. Best demonstrated when news broke of Mel's contract termination and Fubuki took the lead during 1st Gen's announcement, patiently walking the others (Matsuri in particular who was crying inconsolably) through it.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Apparently thinks Stefano Valentini is perfectly acceptable as a videogame crush, even going as far as to rattle off his basic mannerisms and his stats after thanking him for a knife when he stabs Sebastian and calling him a tsundere.
  • Idiot Hair: She has an ahoge/cowlick, which the Japanese use to signify a foolish character.
  • The Idiot from Osaka: Hailing from the Kansai region, Fubuki embodies some of the stereotypes associated with people from the region, including being ditzy, having an attachment to country life, and having an affinity for comedy.
  • Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!:
  • Kansas City Shuffle: How she gets her hands on some lolis in "To Be Young Again". Aki and Aqua are concerned over how Korone and Okayu are acting like disillusioned old women, leading Luna to suggest seeking out Princess Otohime. "Otohime" turns out to be Fubuki in disguise, which they see right through, but she succeeds in making Korone and Okayu younger, as in transforming them into lolis. Aqua laments that she made them too young, with Fubuki saying that the effects can only be reversed through a magic treasure box. After some unsuccessful digging attempts, Aqua angrily tosses her gift box into a lake, which causes Fubuki to come out in disguise once again, this time as the Goddess of the Lake. She asks which of the two boxes Aqua threw in, to which Aki and Aqua debate whether or not they're being played. Fubuki then spots the loli versions of Korone and Okayu, and says that Aki and Aqua can keep both boxes if she gets to keep the children. They accept, leaving Aki and Aqua with two useless boxes while Korone and Okayu are abducted by Fubuki, which Luna rightfully calls them out on.
  • The Leader: First member and leader of hololive GAMERS. She has even played the role of an instructor once on Arknights collab stream.
  • Let's Just Be Friends:
    • She frequently sees English speakers asking her to be their "waifu" or being called "best waifu". She returns the comments, telling them they're friends instead. She reveals to Coco in their meme review the reason is because she finds it embarrassing when her chat asks her to be their waifu. She doesn't elaborate further on it.
    • This gets turned on her to as much of an extreme as humanly possible when Mio buys her a ring and Fubuki thinks she's being proposed to, only to be informed that it's an agate ring and thus symbolic of absolute friendship.
  • Likes Older Men:

    M-R 
  • Madness Mantra: "It's red", stemming from her attempts at fishing for a Shiny Magikarp, but ending up being inundated with the common red ones instead. Roboco and Miko have even encountered her playing in the studio while mumbling this over and over again to herself.
  • Miko: Implied. According to her 2020 New Year's outfit debut stream, she manages a shrine called "Shirakami Shrine". Additionally, said New Year's outfit is also reminiscent of the attire Inari shrine maidens tend to wear.
  • Morph Weapon: In Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~, her spirit fox servants are able to possess her katana and turn it into a corn hammer.
  • Motor Mouth: Not normally, but there are occasions where she demonstrates this trait:
  • Mystical White Hair: She has snow-white hair, which fits her name and her mystical nature as a fox person.
  • Named Weapons: In Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~, her katana is named Murasamemaru.
  • Ojou: Plays this role in her collab streams with Aragami Oga from Holostars. This is also how he addresses her both during and off-stream on Twitter.
  • Only Sane Man: In the animated shorts, Depending on the Writer. While she has her fair share of shenanigans with the other girls, she mostly plays this role whenever she appears in the shorts in question. The short involving her, Watame, Mio, Korone, Pekora, Okayu, and Coco does display her more shenanigans side while other shorts will make her look more like the normal one than the centered girls of the short.
  • Reused Character Design: Both her and Azur Lane's Kawakaze, are variants of Nagishiro Mito's white and black fox design. Naturally, when they finally meet in the Azur Lane collaborative event, their resemblance is lampshaded several times.
  • Riddle Me This: As Nazo Nazo Kamen, she visits a stream and offers a riddle to be solved (with a reward) before disappearing into the night.

    S-Z 
  • Sanity Slippage: Her search for a shiny Magikarp in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl consumed her streaming schedule from the end of November 2021 and into the next month. According to Roboco and Miko, it's consumed some of her off-screen time as well, as they report seeing her between recording sessions still fishing on her Switch and muttering "It's red."
  • Self-Applied Nickname: Burgerfox. A name she coined herself, which references her Trademark Favorite Food. Can be rearranged with her initialized name to create Fox Burger King.
  • Shapeshifter Default Form:
    • In the 2020 New Year's outfit debut stream, after saying goodbye to the viewers that happened to see her human form as she was making ozoni in the kitchen (until that point, she disguised herself as a regular fox), she mentioned that the human form she usually takes is her true form.
      Fubuki: Ah, those were some good folks. Well, they saw my true form but... eh, appearing before humans like this aren't so bad every once in a while, I guess.
    • However, during Kiara's HoloTalk stream with her as the guest, it was revealed that there was once a time where Fubuki's true form was a regular fox.
      Kiara: [Talking about the topic of "How did you discover hololive and why did you decide to join?"] She's a mountain fox. She was very sleepy but she wanted to become a human so when she got the chance she went for it.
  • Third-Person Person: Very often refers to herself as "Shirakami".
  • Trademark Favorite Food:
    • Burgers. Going by her reactions while she browsed the Japanese Wendy's menu (which she spent a good five minutes browsing during a livestream), the less healthy, the better.
    • hololive Alternative establishes another favorite to be "fox's delight" udon, specifically the instant variety.
  • Verbal Tic: "sou sou sou" (そうそうそう, lit. "Yeah-yeah-yeah"), usually used in agreement with a statement. She also says "yoisho" a fair lot too.
  • Voice Changeling: She falls into this upon occasion, mainly when doing an impression of Marine and she often comes closest to the real deal.
  • What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: She is completely oblivious to love, preferring to make friends instead.
  • Yandere: Belted a few lines with a yandere tone at a fan's request. Amusingly, she played the role so well she ended up scaring herself.
  • Yoko Oh No: Played for Laughs, but her doing the reacting: When Mio nervously tells Fubuki why she is hiding behind a Shinto wedding illustration, she tells Fubuki she was actually getting married, she did not react to this very well.

    Kurokami Fubuki 

Kurokami Fubuki [JP: 黒上フブキ; CN: 黑上吹雪]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_1904.jpeg

Debut date: June 7th, 2018 (as split personality); September 7th, 2019 (as her "sister")
Birthday: September 6th
Illustrator: Zareshima Sachi (original), Nagishiro Mito (2022 update)
Live2D modeler: Jujube

Alias: Kuro-chan (by Shirakami)

Fubuki's dark persona. Originally a split personality, she was Fubuki's "dark side" that would come out in certain moments. At some point, she was given her own body and has since been living with Shirakami. Being effectively her own character, she gets a dedicated stream every once in a while, and even makes appearances in Shirakami's on rare occasions.

As one of the first alternate personas in the entirety of hololive, she has become a significant part of Fubuki's character lore, showing up in covers and official songs, as well as technically being one of the only non-hololive members to have their own 3D and, later, 2D models.


  • Affectionate Nickname: Kuro-chan, used by Shirakami. A portmanteau of "Kurokami" and "-chan", an affectionate Japanese honorific.
  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Unlike the cheerful and outgoing Shirakami, she's more quiet and reserved, and prefers to speak no more than what she feels is necessary, especially when playing games.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Is mind-controlled by a monster spawner in the MV for "KINGWORLD", bringing her hidden jealousy of her sister to the fore and causing her to nearly destroy KINGWORLD. Fubuki thankfully snaps her out of it.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Despite being sharp tongued, deeper pitched, and more inclined to do darker things, she's ultimately harmless and not out to get anyone. In fact, she lives in relative harmony with Shirakami.
  • Dope Slap: Is sometime subjected to this whenever Kurokami says something Shirakami deems inappropriate. Offending topics include snarky comments about the viewer(s) or Shirakami, or crude remarks such as comparing tapioca balls to frog eggs.
    Kurokami: [reading question] "Kuro-san, do you like tapioca?"
    Kurokami: Not really. Because you know, they look like frog eggs.
    Shirakami bonks Kurokami
  • Enemy Within: Originally. In Fubuki's second Plague Inc. playthrough, Kurokami was established to be her "dark side", who would manifested herself as a somewhat sinister voice taking delight in morbid actions.
    Fubuki: First things first... [snickers] let's see... Yes, let's-
    Aki: [in chat] Fubuki-chan, amazing...
    Fubuki: [snickers] Aki-chan~
    Kurokami!Fubuki: [snickers] Aki-chan, wanna join me? It's a lot of fun~
    Fubuki: [clears throat] Just now... something seemed to be awakening within me... whew.
    This however seems to be no longer the case as of September 2019, where Kurokami is shown on stream to be harmless and living in harmony with Fubuki.
  • Evil Brunette Twin: Like her last name would imply, she has black hair, although she's less "evil" and more just aloof and snarky.
  • Foil: Serves as this to her "sister": While Shirakami is exuberant and friendly, Kurokami is more of a standoffish and arrogant tease.
  • Furry Reminder: When asked a question of "tell us what you like about Shirakami", one of the things she mentioned was "she does grooming for me". Specifically, she used the word "kedzukuroi" (毛づくろい), which almost exclusively refers to animals cleaning their fur or feathers. Presumably, this includes the grooming of her fox ears and tail.
  • Literal Split Personality: Zig-Zagged. According to Kurokami herself in her first official stream, she simultaneously has her own body, while being "one in body and soul" with Shirakami at the same time. She also mentioned that she's only a part of Fubuki (namely the "black half"), unlike Shirakami who is said to be "Fubuki" as a whole.
  • Palette Swap: She looks identical to Shirakami, save for the inverted hair and fur color, red eyes and dressing in a dark version of Fubuki's color scheme. When Kurokami received a Live2D model as part of her 2022 birthday, however, her outfit was redesigned to be distinct from Shirakami.
  • Sibling Seniority Squabble: An unusual example in that Kurokami and Shirakami aren't twins in the traditional sense, but two representations of the same person with their own consciousness. Nonetheless, when a viewer asked who is the older sister and younger sister, Kurokami asserted that she is the older one, while Shirakami pointed out that Kurokami sometimes acts like the younger sister too.
  • Split Personality: Originally. In the stream where Kurokami made her first appearance, Fubuki described her as "the other me inside of me".
  • Synchronization: Downplayed. According to her, she and Shirakami can share taste and senses, but she won't let her do so when Shirakami is eating sweet foods that she hates. Additionally, later on when asked about a hypothetical question on whether she will choose Fubuki or the world, she claims that she doesn't necessarily need to be with Shirakami, implying that she can exist even without her.
    Kurokami: [reading question] "Kuro-chan, you love Fubuki-chan right? If it comes down to it, you would absolutely choose Fubuki-chan over the world, right?"
    Kurokami: Heh, don't be so sure about that. I'm not forever bound to Fubuki. [Beat] The world and Fubuki... which will I choose? That is something we won't know until the time comes.
  • Tall, Dark, and Snarky: In comparison to Shirakami, she's much more aggressive and harsh, often not having any tact, and doesn't hesitate at all to insult someone if they so happen to annoy her.
  • The Tease: Contrasting Shirakami, she offers to whisper love confessions to her viewers in exchange for head pats, asking whether they will get excited at some other place. She then asks them to call her "pervert" in her ear.

Other Characters

    Fubu-chan 

Fubu-chan / Fubu-cha [JP: フブちゃん CN: 吹雪酱]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fubuchan_debut_8.png

Debut date: March 16th, 2020 (officially)
Illustrator: Nuko Miruku

Alias: Chibi Fox, Fubuki
Age (at debut): 5
Species: Kitsune
Occupation: Elementary School Student

Fubuki's supposed In-Universe younger sister. Officially introduced in March 2020, in a Q&A stream titled "Marshmallow answering session with Chibi Fox Fubuki [#ChibiFox]", she would continue to make appearances in Shirakami's streams once in a blue moon.

Despite technically being an alternate persona, she has been featured in several collaboration streams and songs, including ones with male vtubers.

This profile details trope examples specific to her character on:
Streams and videos on her channel with their title mentioning the name "フブちゃん" (Fubu-chan) or "ちびっ狐" (Chibi Fox),
OR Content where Fubuki speaks in a child-like (loli) voice.

  • And Your Reward Is Edible: In an effort to help out a tired listener from their studies at work, she tells the listener that although work might be difficult, they shouldn't forget to treat themselves. She followed up by saying that the snacks she get as a reward is what motivates her to continue working hard, and humorously suggests that the listener should also try the snacks for themselves.
    Fubu-chan: Studying at work sounds tough! But even so, you should give yourself a big reward for working hard. When I work hard, I get snacks. And getting to eat snacks make me happy, so I always try my best. Oji-san... Oji-san too should try eating snacks, they're very yummy... [laughs]
  • Asian Fox Spirit: She's a kitsune, like her older sister.
  • Cheerful Child: During her debut stream, despite needing help from her sister to operate OBS, reading and answering an hour worth of questions from strangers; some of which are of considerable length and some containing difficult kanjis that she greatly struggled with, she never once stopped being cheerful and kept a sunny demeanor in pretty much everything she says.
  • Cousin Oliver: She's a child officially introduced in March of 2020, almost 2 years after Fubuki's debut.
  • Dual Age Modes: Lampshaded by her at Shigure Ui. After remarking that she doesn't quite understand why Ui is both a "mama" and a sensei, she mentions Ui is sometimes an adult and sometimes a child, but nonetheless states that she likes both Uis. She then wonders whether Sui-chan can also become a child or not.
  • Furry Reminder:
    • When asked a question on how she takes care of her tail, she states that before going to bed and after waking up in the morning, she brushes her tail on her own (self-grooming). She then mentions that letting someone else grooms her tail for her also feels good (social grooming). She finishes off the topic by saying that a neat and tidy tail equals a better day.
    • During the end-of-month roleplay stream of December 2020, one of the scenarios involves Fubu-chan trying to wake up the lazy still-sleeping viewers. In the end, she resorts to tickling them with her tail to get them to wake up.
  • In-Series Nickname: Fubu-chan, a portmanteau of "Fubuki" and "-chan", an affectionate Japanese honorific. Alternatively, she is called "Fubu-cha" instead.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: According to her, everyone calls her Fubu-chan instead of Fubuki, most likely to differentiate her from Shirakami.
  • Shared Family Quirks: Like Shirakami in her debut stream, Fubu-chan hid "underneath the stream" and peeked out as she is being introduced at her debut, and is noticeably very nervous and shy with people she doesn't know.
  • Sweet Tooth: During her debut stream, she mentioned that for some reason, her house is full of gummy candies and that she's been eating them a lot recently. She also states that she loves almond chocolate. In addition, her segment in the end-of-month roleplay stream of March 2020 revolves around her wanting to eat parfait.
    Fubu-chan: (answering a question on "what food do you like") Candy! Candy! I like candy. Food... There's a lot of gummy at home. Since... since ther... since there's so many of them, I've been eating them recently. […] But yeah, there's a lot of gummy. A lot... And if I don't eat them, they won't go away, yeaah~?
  • Token Mini-Moe: Considering that she's a 5 years old child, this is what she is to the Fubuki family.
