The second generation

  • Early-Installment Weirdness: The biggest offender among the Holostars. Watch their unit debut video. And then compare that to the people they are now. There's a reason why fans joke that SunTempo became a case of false advertising.
  • The Friends Who Never Hang: Played for laughs. Infamously, although they're good friends and hold pride in their bond, collabs between the three of them are few and far in between, to the point that it's become something of a joke among their fans.
    • Lampshaded during a chatting stream where Roberu was reviewing UPROAR's debuts. Upon noting that their juniors planned to collab at least once a month, he mused that his own generation only come together about once or twice a year.
    Astel (in chat): We, the second gen who haven't met up in 3 months, are comrades.
    • A conversation with Fuma has Roberu note that when they meet up, they often think of collabing more often, only to forget about it shortly after, although also mentions that he'd like to have a meal with his genmates once things settle down.
    • Discussed by Astel and Tamaki during a chatting collab, where Tamaki notes that the three members rarely do things together as genmates despite getting along well. According to Astel, around their debut, they decided together that rather than doing things as a group, they'd try to shine and gain popularity in their own ways, resulting in their current dynamic.
  • Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Although each generation has their share of oddities, SunTempo stands out in particular. After all, it's not every day that you'd find an alien, a knight and a bartender all together who are perfectly fine with messing with each other. Justified that they weren't exactly meant to be a unit until the creation of the third generation.

    Astel Leda 

Astel Leda [JP: アステル・レダ; CN: 阿斯特尔瑞达]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leda_100k.jpg
"LFG."

"A self-indulgent and childish bishounen idol who laughs a lot with his friends. His past is unclear and he doesn't have much knowledge of the world. You will sometimes see him staring at the sky with a determined grin on his face. What is that thing that is floating next to him..?"
—Official description

Debut date: December 7th, 2019
Birthday: June 6th
Age (at debut): 20
Height: 158 cm
Fanbase name: Astellas
Illustrator: Nakamura Eight
Channel: Youtube
Social Media: Twitter
  • The Ace: Apex Legends is where he shines best.
  • Affectionate Nickname: A lot of his overseas viewers have taken to calling him 'PBB', short for 'Pretty Baby Boy', after he uttered it during a playthrough of Home Sweet Home.
    • Occasionally, Roberu addresses him as 'Leda', particularly when being overcompetitive with each other.
    • Suzaku was the one who gave him the nickname 'Seaweed' during his debut◊, which has also been picked up by his fans.
    • After his impromptu Apex collab with Ollie, she and her fans have taken to calling him 'Astel-aniki' or 'Aniki' (a more casual way to address an older brother or a senior).
    • Following the trauma he inflicted during the 4th Vsaikyo tournament as Mad Maggie, a couple of his juniors in Uproar have jokingly addressed him as 'Drill-senpai' on occasion.
  • all lowercase letters: Astel's channel name is written as "astel ch." in contrast to other Holopro talents who have the first letter of their names and the "c" in 'ch.' in capital letters.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Astel's 1st birthday live, 'Hope of Universe', left many viewers with several questions regarding his lore and past. Although he had initially resolved to leave his past behind and continue his path as an idol, he has since returned to looking for answers regarding his past and a way to return home. His interactions with Apolleon, who he meets then, imply that there is much more to his story, which was revealed during his 3rd anniversary stream in December.
  • Big Brother Mentor: Unofficially, he becomes this for Ollie in Apex Legends.
  • Big Eater: According to Rikka, Astel and Aruran can eat a lot, much to his envy. This is supported during a SunTempo talk stream, where Astel notes that he can usually eat 20 plates of sushi, and 40 if his stomach is completely empty. Temma comments that despite this, Astel is still on the thin side.
  • Birthday Buddies: Astel shares the same birthday date (June 6) as Watame Tsunomaki, though unlike Ayunda Risu and Oga Aragami (another pair sharing a mutual birthday), neither interact much with each other.
  • Came from the Sky: His lore video, titled as 'Project Gemini vol.α', explains that he was a space-farer who crash-landed onto Earth after his spaceship malfunctioned, before being recruited by Shinove.
  • Cannot Talk to Women: Subverted. While Astel can be shy around strangers at times, it used to be more prominent when interacting with women he isn't familiar with, as seen from his past interactions with Matsuri and Leona during the Apex tournament afterparty in 2020. He gets a lot better about this over time, starting with an Overcooked 2 collab with Rikka, Iofi and Risu.
    • His guerilla appearances in Ollie's Apex streams shows his improvement, with the two developing a sibling-like bond as Astellie. Astel later confirms that he sees Ollie more like a little sister, which may explain why he feels more comfortable around her.
  • Character Development:
    • Astel initially started off being shy towards people not from Holostars, and recalled being unable to really speak during HoloComi, which he attended with his gen-matesnote . After his impromptu guerilla with Ollie, he mentions that he'd like to collab with some of the Hololive members (like Iofi and Amelia), noting that he wants to change and become a senpai that his kouhais can rely on. Later collab streams show his improvement on this front.
    • Between the two Vtuber Saikyou tournaments as RAG and later ARCSTARS, Astel has eventually learned to not only do better as a leader and shot-caller in Apex, but to be kinder to his teammates and himself. He notes that he has learned a lot since his time with RAG and his first experience at the CR cup, which is reflected in the way he guides Choco and Robocco during the tournament, not wanting them to be too harsh on themselves like he was before.
  • Color Motif: Cobalt blue, though his subtitles in official Holostars clips tend to be yellow (with Temma's being a lighter shade).
  • Comedic Sociopathy: He has his moments.
  • Cosmic Motifs: His outfit looks a bit like astronaut wear and it has a few four-pointed stars on it. His innerwear is also patterned like a starry sky. Appropriately, his setting is that of a spacefarer.
  • Costume Evolution: Contrary to his original design (and potentially as a way to symbolize him moving forward from his lost past), Astel's 3D model has some notable differences from it. Namely, an entirely new hairstyle (revealed to also be the one used for their 3D live) as well as a sharp conductor's outfit, which he eventually obtains as a Live2D model as well.
  • Companion Cube: Polneu, or Pocket Wifi, the little jellyfish-like robot that floats around him sometimes. Its functions include creating thumbnails, tweeting and standing in as a wi-fi router. It even gets a few accessories whenever Astel gets a new outfit, from an orange tied onto its head to a full-on conductor's uniform to match its owner.
  • Culture Clash: He once had a stream where he lamented the differences between Japanese and English after misinterpreting jokes by his overseas fans. This led to a drunken rant which ended with a philosophical talk between both him, his chat, and several well known translators in the vtuber community, who showed up to analyze the differences and similarities in various parts of English and Japanese that gave him a new perspective on communication. His conclusion after self-reflecting and exhausted after several hours of deep thinking and drinking:
    Astel: Japanese is dumb and complicated. You guys shouldn't learn it.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Ollie (from HoloID)'s Apex guerilla stream ended with her spontaneously asking Astel to join her for her last round, which he did. Considering that she was still a beginner at the time, and Astel's skills being what they are, he swept the other squads despite the match being sniped by some of Ollie's fans - even generously leaving the last person alive for Ollie to kill.note 
  • Determinator:
    • Along with his initial refusal to reduce the game's difficuty to progress past the tutorial for 6 hours, his Nier: Automata stream was not banned once, but three times for no reason.note  Despite this, Astel opened up another stream to keep playing, regardless of if it would get banned again.
    • In general, this is one of his greatest traits, whether it's his dedication towards Apex or his perserverance in pursing the vision he wanted for his 3D debut.
  • Drives Like Crazy: For all of his skills, he probably shouldn't be in charge of driving vehicles in Apex.
  • Escort Mission: During the afterparty of the 2021 Vtuber tourney, one of the bonus rounds included a 'Princess Round'.note Hilariously enough, Astel elected himself to be the princess, which led to a lot of chaos, done by himself.
    Astel: Our focus is...well, there's no need for princesses other than me, so destroy all of them.
  • FanBoy:
    • Of Disney. Disney songs are common during his singing streamsnote  and during an (impromptu) Apex collab with Ollie, mentions that not only does he live near Disneyland (close enough to bike there) and owns a yearly pass, but has visited the place at least 180 times. He even once held a guerilla chatting stream just to gush about his trip to Disneyland SEA.
    • His new stream layout, ending screen, his entire 3D debut and his first original song, "Future Galaxy and Whistle's Melody" could easily be seen as tributes to his love for Disney.
    • He mentions to Matsuri that Nene is his oshi.
  • Fantastic Naming Convention: Unlike everyone else, his name is written in western order.
  • Fetish: Apart from being a shotacon, he also admitted being into humanoid furries during a free talk stream.note  Notably, a chunk of his playthrough of Fuga: Melodies of Steel had him gushing over the characters, and gave an explanation on his preferences to Choco, Robocco and Kamaneko during skrims at the Vtuber Apex tourney.
  • Funny Afro: Is on the receiving end during the initial reveal of the first Holostars live concert, much to his shock. It's later clarified that this is not his actual hair and will be redesigned, though posters set up in Japan still have him with the afro. His true hair design was revealed shortly after his 3D debut.
  • Gratuitous English: He can understand it a little, and occasionally responds to his overseas fans in English. He has seem to latch on to some terms in particular, though.
    Astel: I'll beat you up.note 
  • Hidden Depths:
    • For all of his bravado, Astel tends to overworry on occasion, and admits to not being good with large groups. He's deadset on working on this issue though, putting in effort in improving his communication skills and expanding his connections via Apex customs and tournaments.
    • He has a lot of high expectations for himself and takes his role as an idol seriously, which tends to be a source of worry and stress for him. After some of his plans fell through with the upper management, he streamed an apology about being unable to give back to his viewers after all the support he received from them, sounding emotional and close to tears all the while.
    • Despite his teasing, he truly loves Holostars, their fans and its members, both past and present, as mentioned during his 50k celebration stream. After seeing the love the graduated members received long after they left, he expressed his desire to carry on everyone's wishes for Holostars, and to always remember the graduated members.
  • Human Aliens: Lore-wise, Astel's origins are unknown beyond the fact that he came from outer space, so he's interpreted as this.
    • His lore video touches on some details - His kind appears to be known as the Nephlomachio, and had intended to take over Earth before his ship crashed onto it.
  • I Have Many Names: Astel's account in Apex, along with his alts, are often subjected to a number of player name changes, often silly, at his whim. After switching to Steam from Origin, it became even easier for him to do so, leading to his multiple name changes during one of Temma's Apex streams. A general list of these names can be found here.
  • In Touch with His Feminine Side:
    • Astel's comments while streaming reveal that he's quite fashionable, and does take care in his appearance. He once discussed the types of makeup and products he uses while playing Apex.
    • He mentions during a Minecraft stream that he started enjoying wearing makeup after he allowed some of his female classmates to try some on him back in high school.
    • A conversation with Roboco and Choco during the Vtuber Saikyou Tournament has him confirm that he does cooks every day (or when he can), to their surprise.
    Choco: We're losing in the girl power department.
    • During a Wachastars episode, he notes that one of his biggest purchases at the time was a set of spring clothing.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: Downplayed with his playthrough of NieR: Automata. It started off extremely rocky, to say the least. Despite it being his first time playing it blind, he decided to play it on Hard difficulty, which would have been fine if not for the fact that he was using a mouse and keyboard rather than a controller.note  Combined with saving being disabled until the tutorial's completion, he spend 6-7 hours dying and restarting at the tutorial until he finally gave in and switched the difficulty to Normal.
  • Large Ham:
  • Made of Iron: He's done a lot of endurance streams, but typically come out of them looking none the worse for wear.
    • He once hosted a 12-hour singing stream, to the point where he was just slightly wheezing by the end.
    • Near the end of 2020, he hosted a 24-hour singing stream where he sang over 180 songs non-stop.
    • In preparation for a Vtuber Apex Legends tournament, Astel decided to host daily endurance streams with the goal of 100 kills per stream, three weeks in advance.
  • Man of a Thousand Voices: He has a huge voice range, raging from unbelievably high-pitched to as low as Oga’s. He can switch between them quite smoothly as well, proven by this clip of him singing Hajimete no Chuu.
  • The Night Owl: Due to his lack of schedules, Astel's streams can be rather spontaneous, and some of them can occur late at night at around 1AM in Japan. They can last between two to up to twelve hours, depending on what he's doing. For a time, it was common for a viewer to go to bed while he's streaming, and wake up to Astel still on the same stream.
  • Odd Name Out: Astel is one of the few members of Holopro to have their name officially rendered in Western order with his given name before his surname. note 
  • Only Sane Man: Played for Laughs. He discusses on who is the most normal among the Holostars, and eventually concludes that it's him.
    Astel: I'm truly the most normal.
  • Percussive Therapy: Occasionally hits his desk in fruastration from time to time, particularly during the brief period where he played Fall Guys.
  • Precision F-Strike: He's recently picked up the phrase 'Let's Fucking Go' (LFG) and tends to drop it every now and then. Played for laughs when he says it in front of Ollie during an Astellie stream, much to her horror.
  • Refuge in Audacity: During one of his 100-kill Apex streams he suddenly started singing Onegai Muscle throughout a match only to immediately end the stream after finishing the song.
  • Scene of Wonder: He completed building the exterior of Taj Mahal over the course of 7 months in survival Minecraft all on his own.
  • Sleep Deprivation: Can and has done extraordinarily long streams, which often overlap as guerilla streams. From 12-hour singing streams, 7-hour Minecraft streams and 14-hour Apex streams, his fans nickname the experience "Ast-hell".
    • Notably, after the conclusion of the Vtuber Apex tourney at 3AM JST, Astel ended his stream...after mentioning that he would be doing an endurance 100-kill run on Apex immediately afterwards with his coach and Aruran.
    • This was a source of light-hearted annoyance for Ollie whenever he comments on her streams, often telling him to go to bed and sleep.
  • Spiky Hair: His alternative hairstyle for his New Year's attire sports this, though he notes that the hairstyle might also be added to his existing outfits as well.
  • Supermodel Strut: A Rare Male Example - Astel noticeably sways his hips a lot when walking, with Ollie even noting that the way he walks reminded her of Apex's Loba. When combined with his slender legs and graceful standing poses, it gives him quite a feminine allure. That is it until he falls face-first into the ground.
  • Take a Third Option: His resolution at the end of his birthday live, upon choosing between staying with Holostars or finding his beloved crewmates. Instead, he decides to go for both. Apolleon's remarks on this seem to imply there may be consequences for doing so, which may come to light during his 3rd anniversary live.
  • Teleportation: He teleports to other Holostars’ place in his 3D debut, completed with some pretty memorable poses, and also gifts each of them a star token that allows him to teleport to them wherever they are.
  • Token Mini-Moe: He's currently the shortest member in Holostars at 158cm. Interestingly enough, he admits that he's actually shorter than that in real life, and mentions that his height has not changed since middle school.
  • Troll:
  • Work Off the Debt: Played for laughs - Astel once joked that he has a debt of 6 million yen ($60000USD), and that being made to join Holostars to pay it back 'wouldn't be exaggerating'.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Played for Laughs; when Ollie asked several members if they would hit her for a million dollars (or yen, when asking the Japanese branches), Astel was the only Holostars member to take her up on it, replying with a long string of fist emojis to her dismay (although it should be noted that Aruran said he would consider it if the offer was for 3 million yen).
  • Vague Age: While his introduction stream shows that he looks to be around 20 years old, his exact age isn't confirmed due to his hazy memory. This later becomes subverted during his birthday stream in 2021, where he confirms his age as 22 years old.
  • You Can't Go Home Again: From his lore video, Astel accepted Shinove's invitation to join Holostars in order to hide away from his enemies and find his remaining crewmates. He later decides to fully abandon his plans to leave to commit to being an idol.
    • This becomes averted during his birthday live in 2022, where he travels to Atlantis to find answers to his past and the means to return home. Eventually, his memories return, with Astel releasing a full murder mystery game that showcases what happened before he became Astel the idol, along with the identities of his crewmates.

Kon-kishi~!

"A cheerful and energetic knight apprentice from the School of Knights. He has never-ending smiles. Chivalrous spirit has meant everything to him since he was born. After graduation, in order to know more around the world, he managed to challenge lots of different things. He had his first ramen recently and he was amazed by it."
—Official description

Debut date: December 14th, 2019
Birthday: April 18th
Age (at debut): 20
Height: 179 cm
Fanbase name: Kishi-men
Illustrator: Shirami
Channel: Youtube
Social Media: Twitter
  • The Ace: Is this for Dead by Daylight, being the Holopro member with the most number of hours clocked in.
  • ASMR Video: Since buying a new mic, he decides to try his hand at this, with mixed results, zig-zagging between being pretty good, and it being weird, such as [a cup ramen-eating ASMR stream.
  • Black Knight: Despite his supposed dedication to chivalry, he notes during his New Year's outfit reveal that he's aware that his viewers tend to call him a 'dark knight' instead. Hilariously enough, his outfit is mostly white. When he reveals his attire, it's clear that this nickname is finally Played Straight.
    Astel: He's landed! Dark Temma has landed!
  • Blood Knight: According to Temma, he doesn't really like playing games that pits him against CPU enemies, and would rather compete against human players instead. This is why he plays exclusively the ranked mode in Splatoon 2 and turned down the invitation for Salmon Run (a cooperative mode), He also admits to completely skipping the story mode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to Astel, focusing mainly on online battles.
  • Classy Cane: Wields one in his Alice in Wonderland-inspired 100k outfit.
  • Color Motif: Yellow.
  • Comedic Sociopathy
    Miyabi: There's only two men left huh...
    Temma: This is teetee, but...Miyabi. Can you die already?note 
    • During his tenure as an Impostor in the group's first Among Us collab, he gleefully kills Miyabi while humming the Star-Spangled Banner afterwards, claiming that "[Miyabi]'s blood was delicious". In subsequent games, he was visibly disappointed at not being picked as an Impostor.
    • Temma's playthrough of Mother Simulator includes him trying to wash his baby under a running sink, and expresses surprise that that was not the correct method.
    Temma: Ah, so it's wrong. I was raised like this though! You're weak!
    • His playthrough of Hitman 2 has him mostly disregard any sense of stealth whatsoever.
  • Consummate Liar: He absolutely loves being the Imposter in Among Us and is really good at lying his ass off with a straight face, including the collabs and his streams while playing against his fans. It's also noted that he seems to enjoy games that involve deception in general.
  • Cool Sword: Received a proper greatsword with his New Year attire, introduced as "Tenken Yozora". It makes an appearance alongside his 3D model.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: According to Astel, Temma plays the role of a 'natural airhead' among SunTempo, and tends to exhibit a somewhat naive, careless nature at times.
    • It's gotten to the point where it's actually something that Astel admires about him, being able to get through situations simply because people just think 'that's just how Temma is'. In a later chatting stream, he notes that while he himself can act crazy because he wants to, Temma is a 'natural crazy' who genuinely is just like that without meaning to, and doesn't realise how outlandish he can be at times.
    • Shien and Rikka have also both agreed that they have no idea what goes on in Temma's head. Ironically, Temma himself thinks that he's quite calculating, thought Rikka concedes that there's times where that's actually the case.
    Rikka: Then, let's put it this way - he might be an airhead out of reflex. After calculating and planning everything, he reached a state of trance.
  • Determinator: When it comes to getting what he wants, Temma can get incredibly stubborn, and will spare no effort to achieve the results he wants. This can result in streams that can stretch up to 12 hours depending on what he's doing. Notably, he streamed Loop Hero almost exclusively over a few days - not just clearing the game but also to beat the secret boss - with each stream lasting between 6-9 hours.note 
    • This is a trait that he shares with fellow gen-mate Astel, who is also notorious for his long streams on Apex. Astel mentions during Holocomi that this is what he likes about Temma.
  • Drives Like Crazy: Despite claiming that he'll properly follow traffic laws in-game, his Grand Theft Auto V stream had him committing every possible traffic crime under the sun, from speeding, to speeding against traffic, to running over pedestrians, you name it.
    Temma: (about to hit someone on the sidewalk) I'M SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY!
  • Fairytale Motif: Shares this with Miyabi for their 100k outfits, with his based on Alice in Wonderland.
  • Foil: Concept-wise, he's this to Shien. Shien is described as a tough and intimidating mafia boss from the land of beastmen, but never does any mafia-related activities (or remotely seen as intimidating for that matter). On the other hand, while Temma is introduced as a noble knight's apprentice, his bouts of Comedic Sociopathy tend to put his sense of chivalry into question.
  • Game Show Host: Every now and then, Temma hosts a game series 'The House of Thought' with four other Holostars, where he makes them battle each other through games that test their mind, while he comments in the background. He personally recommended these streams during the second episode of WachaStars, and mentions that he enjoys seeing different sides of his fellow members as a result.
    • Temma's ability to host group game collabs like these is also considered one of his strengths to his genmate, Astel.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Has blonde hair, and a pretty nice guy to be around. Just don't mind the occasional bouts of Comedic Sociopathy, and when his 'dark knight' tendencies emerge.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • Despite his airheaded tendencies, he's quite smart academically, and can pick things up really quickly when he puts in effort. During a DBD stream, he mentions that he graduated from his university with honors, and was one of the top 5 students during high school, which he owes to his love for studying.
    • Temma also revealed that he actually has a black belt in karate, having learned it from age 5 to 15. He hopes to be able to show off his moves during his 3D debut, and sure enough, he does.
    • Although still learning, he can play the piano, and occasionally holds streams where he practices.
  • Immortality Beginsat Twenty: Unable to age beyond twenty until he becomes a "proper knight."
  • Insistent Terminology: Regarding Temma's bicycle, which he insists be addressed as a horse (which he eventually named Umazou). Due to the term better fitting his knight theme, his viewers have just rolled with it since.
  • Knight in Shining Armor: Subverted. While Temma claims to be from the School of Knights, he's done some decidedly un-chivalrous things, which leads his fans to think that he's more of a dark knight than anything else. Examples include:
  • The Knights Who Say "Squee!": According to Oga, Temma wanted to shake hands with all of the Holostars during their first offline meetup (which was Temma's first time meeting the members in-person). Specifically, he had wanted to shake hands with them as a fan (by using both hands to shake the hand of the other person, usually done at handshake events for idols).
  • Me's a Crowd: Temma, along with Yurustar members Miyabi and Aruran, hosted a marshmallow reading stream on April Fool's. What happened instead was them messing around with each other's Live2D, such as having three Miyabis, Aruran and Temma on-screen.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: While his model has him as a rather slender man, he's strong enough to carry both Izuru and Astel, with the latter demonstrated during Astel's 3D debut, even being able to walk around with his genmate in his arms. Notably, during a special edition of Wachastars, Temma demonstrates that he's able to not only carry Shien on his shoulders, but balance him on his thighs while holding a cactus pose.
  • Play the Game, Skip the Story: In-Universe, this is a common theme with Temma, particularly his playthroughs of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Mortal Shell, where he basically mashed through (or blatantly skipped) most of the story parts.
    Temma: (watching a cutscene for Hitman 2) As expected, I don't get the story.
    • Hilariously, this trait of his is shown full-force during his membership release stream. Instead of the usual explanation of the membership and showing off the badges/stamps, he instead chose to immediately open it minutes after showing the tiers, which revealed that he hadn't even implemented any stamps or badges (it turns out that he had planned to draw them on-stream after opening membership), and in his haste, had even messed up the tier names as well.
  • Ship Tease: With Miyabi, known as Hanakishi, where they often collab and have starred in two songs together. Although Miyabi is usually the one who dishes out the fanservice, there have been moments on Temma's end.
    Temma: [...] The author deliberately chose to write the entire thing in hiragana, to show how cute ‘HanaKishi’ is. There’s one extra on (syllable) in the last line which breaks the pattern a little, but the hidden meaning is that the poem hasn’t ended yet, and the relationship will continue forever.
  • Signature Laugh: According to the Holostars, the most distinctive feature of Temma's laugh is just how explosive it is, and even Temma notes that he sounds like Wada Akiko when he laughs. Though that could also be applied to his cries of despair when he loses at things.
  • Significant Birth Date: His birthday, April 18, can be read mnemonically as 'good blade' (yoiyaiba), as explained to Miyabi during a chatting collab stream. Pretty fitting for a knight.
  • Skewed Priorities:
    • In his playthrough of Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin!, he ends up spending most of the stream's duration gambling (first with hanafuda, then poker) rather than progressing on the story. His third stream lampshades this, titled aptly as 'Gambling, Gambling, Story, Gambling'.
    • His solo playthrough of ARK: Survival Evolved consisted primarily of Temma trying to find (and tame) as many dinosaurs friends as possible, only to keep losing them at the same rate.
  • Sleep Deprivation: According to Oga, when the Holostars met up for their Christmas off-collab, Temma admitted that prior to arriving, he hadn't slept for 40 hours. He acted 'loose and floaty' the whole time, though Oga notes that it could have also either been the alcohol or just Temma being Temma.
    • Considering his activity on Twitter, he tends to sleep at pretty late hours.
  • Team Pet: In Febuary 2020, he received a pet ferret named Hiyamaru, who was born on August 10th. She tends to rest on his shoulders, and once replaced Temma's Live2D for an Ark stream. She received a New Year's variant alongside her owner, and now has the ability to rest on his head as well. She even shows up at his 3D debut, and like always, is able to happily perch on his shoulders.
  • Terrible Artist: Could rival Roberu and Aruran in bad thumbnail-making skills. It's become such a staple to Kishi-men that they actually become surprised whenever Temma actually makes a decent-looking one. He gets better about it on occasion, but rainbow font has become a staple in them these days.
  • That Came Out Wrong: During a guerilla Minecraft stream, Temma named the stream as 'Human Breeder' in English, without realizing the implications. He was trying to farm villagers by breeding them.
    • In another Minecraft stream, Temma attempted to explain to his overseas viewers that his butt hurt in English, only to somehow translate it as 'my hip broke', much to their alarm.
  • The Ageless: He claims in multiple streams that he's an eternal 20-year-old who will never age so long as he's a knight apprentice. During his birthday, he asked the "god of knights" if he would be able to age, to which he got "no" as an answer.
  • Trapped in Another World: Reversed and greatly downplayed. Temma is a knight who was transported into this world, though it's fairly clear that he's unbothered by his situation.

"Honane!"

"The master of the hideaway bar: ROBEL. He usually streams before the bar opens or whenever he's free. He talks to anyone quite openly, but it is hard to guess what he is thinking. He drinks a fair bit but can't handle his alcohol well. His motto is: People are willing to believe whatever they want."
—Official description

Debut date: December 24th, 2019
Birthday: September 26th
Age (at debut): 26
Height: 181 cm
Fanbase name: Regulars
Illustrator: Mebaru
Channel: Youtube
Social Media: Twitter
  • The Ace:
    • Downplayed compared to other examples, but Roberu isn't too shabby at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
      • He has a very good sense of the tracks and their shortcuts, and does employ some strategies to win races (such as letting a racer overtake him so that they would get blue shell'd instead of him).
      • This is best shown during the second Holostars MarioKart tourney, where he consistently ranked high in every race, even when being made to nerf his kart. That being said, he does get outclassed during online races, especially if the players include his viewers.
    • He is also considered one of the best speakers in Holopro, being able to think quickly on his feet to handle situations just by talking. His speaking skills are so good that members of Holostars have jokingly called him a 'Talking Monster'.
      • He puts this to the test in the Sophist King Tournament (hosted by Bonboko), and was able to easily make it to the finals before being defeated by Inabu Haneru(who took advantage of his kind nature to turn the tables on him).
  • Affectionate Nickname: After a certain MarioKart stream, his overseas viewers have taken to calling him 'winning son', or just 'son', as a reference to this meme. To Roberu, it's this nickname that keeps him connected with them.
    • Among the Holostars and other Vtubers, his name is often shortened to Robe-kun or Robe-san. Some of his friends, like Rur and Yuki Ono (as well as Astel on occasion) calls him Robe-chan, while Itou-Life addresses him as 'Bessan'.
  • The Alcoholic: Subverted. Despite being a bartender, his profile mentions that he isn't necessarily a strong drinker, and while he occasionally drinks during some streams (usually beer), he doesn't get himself drunk.
    • However, this trope is played straight when it comes to Roberu's younger years, where he admits that he drank a lot in the past. During a talk stream, he recounted a time where he got so drunk that he blacked out in a train station's bathroom, and woke up confused while clutching the toilet.
  • Apologises a Lot: During the new year countdown to 2022, a report from some staff revealed that Roberu is this - compared to the other members who thanked the staff, Roberu tended to apologize instead.
  • Ascended Fanboy: In a special 3D episode of Wachastars, he gets to do a news program with Shibasaki Noriko, the voice actress of one of his favorite characters in The Idolmaster - much to his shock.
  • ASMR Video: Has done some very interesting ASMR. Behold, cicada and fireworks ASMR.
  • "Aww"-choo: Despite his loud nature, he gets quiet little sneezes, with him muttering a quick apology after each one. His viewers find this to be adorable, to the point that he not only receives superchats for sneezing, but was also requested to sneeze with the echo effect on.
  • The Bartender: Lorewise, he's the barmaster of his own bar, "Bar Robel". The stream ostensibly takes place in it In-Universe, as its interior shows up in stream openings and free talk streams. That being said, he doesn't actually do anything a bartender does for the most part.
    • Played for laughs during a talk stream where he previewed his 3D model, who was posed in different bartending poses, which led to his chat to joke that they didn't know that he was actually one. Eventually during his 3D debut, he finally mixes a drink for his viewers.
  • Bad Liar: Zig-zagged, though on occasion, his attempts to play as the imposter in Among Us can be interesting to say the least. His most well-known incident has him claiming he had been at the cafeteria in the one map that doesn't have one.
    • Subverted during an Among Us collab with Nijisanji members where Roberu managed to get away with killing someone who suspected of him right after the meeting ended.
    • The HoloID/Holostars Among Us collab subverts this again where he managed to successfully frame Ollie for his crimes, only to get caught right after by killing Shien in front of several witnesses.
    • On Temma's side, he personally thinks that Roberu is a fairly good liar when it comes to games like Word Wolf.
  • Bait-and-Switch: How his 3D debut announcement stream went down. He made it appear as though he was delivering some very heavy news (along with some foreboding tweets from some of the other Holostars), only to announce his 3D debut date. Understandably although pleased with the news, his viewers were a little peeved at the deception, to the point that a hashtag about the incident trended for a time shortly after, and he had to promise a dogeza during the actual stream (to which he did).
  • Be Yourself: His general outlook on life. He strongly believes that people shouldn't be too pressured to emulate others, as they'll develop their own uniqueness over time. This is also reflected in one of his cover songs, 'Rashisa', and is also a main theme in his original song, POP-TALK.
  • Big "YES!": Yells this a lot when addressing his overseas viewers, typically to the question, "Are you winning, son?".
  • Butt-Monkey:
  • Character Tic: He usually thanks his superchats and membership subscriptions with an 'ookini' (the Kansai way of saying thank you), but it's revealed by Shien (when he stayed the night at Roberu's house) that he actually claps his hands together when he does so, much to Roberu's embarrassmentnote .
  • Chick Magnet: Kagura Mea is particularly known for her constant advances towards him, but he's also had to endure the whole of Animare claiming he's "done" all of them despite him not knowing all of them, with even some of the members' moms apparently being smitten with him. Additionally, Nijisanji's Hoshikawa Sara rapidly embraced the attitude during her first meeting with him.
  • Color Motif: Orange.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: The giving end of the second Holostars MarioKart tournament. Considering that MarioKart is part of his typical gaming content, he consistently ranked within the top three placements in every race, with the non-first placements only being because he was asked to handicap himself by switching a worse kart for a few roundsnote .
  • Cute Little Fangs: Both of his canine teeth are clearly well defined, with is left one in particular really standing out.
  • Determinator:
    • During his playthrough of Ghosts 'n Goblins, he was adamant on playing the game on the hardest difficultynote . Even after playing the game for almost 9 hours and ending the stream without even clearing the first level, he never once considered lowering the difficulty.
    • While not as long as the example above, he's the only known member of HoloPro to actually finish all four levels of 'egg is broken, heart is too', taking about 4.5 hours in two streams to clear it (though it's noted that the two streams were done a month apart from each other).
  • Digging Yourself Deeper: His Japanese chat once accused him of masturbating all night when he mentioned his horrible sleep schedule. Which of course he denied, then said he had spent that night bookmarking erotic images for later.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Downplayed and played for laughs. He tries to play this card by switching to his New Year hooded variant when he attempts to deflect questioning about whether he's eaten during his morning streams, because he knows that his overseas fans really like it.note 
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: When Roberu first debuted, he presented himself as a formal and polite person. This act did not even last a week, and the person he is today is now a much more open, boisterous loud-mouth. This is a source of embarrassment for him.
  • Eject the Loser: For some reason, the stage at Roberu's 3D debut stream comes with a trap door, with Roberu falling through it at least twice (and then being brought back up again).
  • Fanboy:
    • Of Reina Ueda, affectionally known as 'Ue-shama'. According to Roberu, he owns a photobook of her and considers it his family heirloom. His conversation with Fubuki during his Christmas visiting stream also reveals that he dreams of one day having a collab with Reina. He ends up getting a birthday video from her on his birthday in 2022, much to his surprise and immense joy.
    • He's also a fan of Pochi, a fellow vtuber and a long-time hentai artist, with her usual hentai material conforming to his own oneeshota fetish. According to him, he owns a physical copy of every one of her works (erotic or otherwise), and even Pochi thinks he knows her work better than she does herself. To Roberu, being able to meet and interact with her was one of the highlights of his career.
    • He's a big fan of The Idolmaster, particularly Minami Nitta. His twitter feed often has him tweeting about im@s events, and occasionally talks about it during chatting streams.
  • Fetish: Cool Big Sis with shotacon characters and huge breasts. His discussions on the subject regularly go into Serious Business territory, and he's very specific about the kind of oneeshota he enjoys. However, he's conceded that he's content just watching from the sidelines, as his rational side prevents him from immersing himself in the roles.
    Shien: If you show a certain oneeshota manga to an oneeshota sommelier...
  • Forgets to Eat: A (unfortunately) common aspect about Roberu is his poor eating habits and tendency to not eat breakfast, a question that is often asked of him during his morning streams as a running joke. Later streams has him admit that he usually takes two meals a day, both of which he goes out to buy rather than cook himself.
    • This gets lampshaded in his stats for his N-rarity card during the Vtuber Chips promotion, where one of his stats is listed as 'Eating Habits', with a zero next to it◊.
  • Giver of Lame Names:
    • His Winning Post streams (a horse-racing management game) includes the ability to choose and name his own horses. He then proceeds to name them some very silly things based on past streams, from Streaming Monster and Cafeteria Soul, to the two most recent horses, 'Not Eating Breakfast' and 'Go And Eat'.note 
    • Idol Manager is a game where you are allowed to give nicknames for your idols. Needless to say, Roberu ran with it, with girls nicknamed as 'I'll do my best', 'I'm shameless, sorry' and 'God'note . This silly naming extends to almost every aspect of Roberu's playthrough that is nameable, with the unit names literally being the only ones to avoid this fatenote 
  • Gratuitous English: Like Miko, Roberu's grasp on English is basically non-existent and his accent combined with his No Indoor Voice makes it sound strange, but that doesn't stop him from trying. This is the source of notable memes:
    • He had no idea what 'winning son' actually meant for two months before Iofi explained the meme to him.
    • He told a ghost in Phasmophobia that he was a "Shining Man", much to the confusion of the chat.
    • Putting his English skills to the test with an English-only Mario Kart stream resulted in a goldmine of memes all on its own.
    • However, possibly as a result of his increased popularity with overseas viewers, Roberu has been putting in more effort in understanding English, and has improved greatly by the end of 2020.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • His profile mentions that although he speaks openly to all, it can be hard to guess what's on his mind. Sure enough, despite being seen as an outgoing, loud person, Roberu is quite tight-lipped about his personal life, save for a few anecdotes here and there.
    • According to some members of Holopro, Roberu is actually a very polite person off-screen, and Miyabi notes that he's somewhat on the quieter side when he isn't streaming.
    • He has a strong dislike towards having friends or even family in his home for long periods of time. Although it's worth mentioning that he did invite both Shien and Izuru to stay at his house for a night a few weeks after stating so, which implies that he may have relaxed on this issue somewhat, though in a later stream he says that he'd make exceptions for the other Holostar members.
    • One reason why he doesn't do marshmallow consultation streams is that his advice tends to err on the blunt side, since he tends not to sugarcoat anything. He also has a rather pragmatic outlook on things, as seen when asked on whether he thought love or money was more important.
    • Before he became a Vtuber, Roberu used to be a tutor for elementary to middle school students, and does prove to be quite sharp from time to time.
    • During his 10k subscribers stream, Roberu admits that even after the merger between Holostars and Hololive (to become Holopro), he had no desire to 'leech' off the existing Hololive, and wanted to earn subscribers through his own abilties and efforts, because he believes in (and loves) himself. It's probably one of the few streams where he lets himself be emotionally vulnerable, with his Live2D blinking a lot and him muting himself for several seconds suggesting that he was trying to hold back tears.
    • He sincerely treasures his overseas fans, and is very thankful to them for finding him. During a weird stream where he wrote original songs based on various (mostly silly) topics, he created a short song for them expressing his wish for them to keep smiling for him.
    • It's revealed during the 13th episode of Wachastars that Roberu's very interested in the World Heritage sites and likes learning about them. He even has a World Heritage Certificatenote , according to him.
  • Holding Both Sides of the Conversation: Occasionally during streams, he conducts mock interviews with himself, with the chat playing along as photographers.
    • One of his weird streams involves him hosting a talk stream with a very special guest - the lower half of his body, who speaks in a falsetto voice. He acts as though he and 'Lowberu' are separate entities during the stream, much to the confusion of new viewers.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: Is it Robel or Roberu? Even he's not sure how it should be romanized.*
  • I Hate Past Me: Played for Laughs - he's pretty embarrassed about his first stream and the personality he started off with (which notably did not last for even a week), to the point that he actually did a 'do-over' of his introduction stream.
    Roberu:: Please love debut stream Roberu! But I don't love him at all. (imitates debut self) Who is he? I don't know him at all. He must be my fake, no doubt about it.
    • This is an occasional Running Gag for the other Holostars - several of the members have done imitations of 'debut Roberu', and Temma once rewatched it while playing Getting Over It to cheer himself up, even once hijacking Roberu's Jump King stream to imitate his debut before disconnecting.
    • On the viewers' end, they poke fun at his 'return' whenever Roberu switches to a more polite demeanor in some streams, such as his guest appearance at the Bushiroad Game Festival in 2020.
  • In-Series Nickname: His fans typically address him as 'Master', as in barmaster. Or at least they used to, before his fans became his parents instead. His Japanese fans occasionally still call him that, but only when its not more convenient to refer to him as their son like his foreign fans to make fun of him.
  • Insistent Terminology: Regarding the Super Horn in MarioKart, which Roberu calls 'chanchakadondon'. He refuses to call it anything but that, and it has become an Ascended Meme as not only a chant done by his chat during Roberu's bathroom breaks, but also makes an appearance on Roberu's fan in his summer variant.
  • Insult Backfire: Downplayed and Played for Laughs during Asano Ruri's visit to the bar. When asked on his percentage of idol-ness, Ruri gave him a grand score of...8%. Despite Roberu's initial shock, he gives this remark:
    Roberu: Wait, if I think about it...that's quite high. [...] 8% huh? That's consumption tax, right? My idol-ness is equal to consumption tax. Am I tax?
  • It's All About Me:
  • It Runs in the Family: Apparently Roberu isn't the only loud person in his family. According to him, his older sister (known as Anekoku) has a similar personality to him, and as a result they rarely fought. In addition, he mentions that his family (who are unaware of his vtuber activities) is loud in general, and allegedly, he is actually the quietest one among them.
  • Keet: Is he ever. Roberu effectively hits all the requirements, being a energetic, fast-speaking barkeep who strives to make people smile.
  • The Klutz: He apparently has a hard time with tools and assembly, spending the majority of a 1-hour chair assembly stream struggling with the process, all with an echo effect turned on (because he wanted to stream it as ASMR).
  • Large Ham: Wouldn't be a Roberu stream without some form of yelling in it.
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: Probably the worst among the Holostars:
    • Frequently "admires" female characters in the games he streams, like dressing up the female characters in Xenoblade Chronicles 1 in erotic outfits (the first time he did this, he declared the game 'the best ever' despite barely being an hour into it).
    • He invited famous hentai artists Pochi (author of The Elder Sister-like One) and Itou Life to his bar, with him discussing with the former their shared "older sister on younger boy (oneeshota)" fetish.
    • He admits to Ruri that he had bookmarked a few of her tweets where she posted some lewd fanart of herself, leading to him jokingly apologizing not only to her, but to Shinove as well.
    • During a Guilty Gear stream, a viewer informed him that Dizzy received Clothing Damage when executing a move at low health. Without hesitation, he immediately tried it out, and was actually frustrated that he was unable to execute the move for a while.
    • During a weird stream, he created a song titled 'Bookmark'...which basically revolves around him 'bookmarking' tweets with erotic content on Twitter.
  • Me's a Crowd: Once did a stream where he played Super Mario Party, except the players are all him.
  • Motor Mouth: He's a very fast talker, and can jump from topic to topic when needed with ease. He talks even faster when tipsy, to the point that even his Japanese viewers can have trouble following at times.
    • He's mentioned that he gets uncomfortable if he's not talking, and there are times where he can't take it anymore and starts talking.
    • This is notable during his 3D debut stream, where his mouth was struggling to catch up with his rapid speech rate.
    • One of his greatest achievements was a 24-hour chatting stream, where true to its name, Roberu made conversation with his viewers for 24 hours straight.
  • Must Have Caffeine: Downplayed. Roberu has mentioned on-stream that he has to drink coffee daily, or else he gets headaches. Despite this, he doesn't think caffeine really affects him anymore.
  • Mythology Gag: Kaze no Sakana, a song that he made up on a whim during his playthrough of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It became a running gag where he would sing it from time to time as a joke, with plenty of variants. Eventually during his 2nd debut anniversary, Roberu actually performed a serious version of the song, which was later made availiable as part of his anniversary goods.
  • Neat Freak: He notes that a reason why he dislikes cooking is having to deal with the mess afterwards, and it's implied that he keeps his (probably sparse) apartment fairly clean as well. That said, the viewers don't necessarily believe this to be entirely true, being voted as the 3rd-most likely to have a messy desk.
    • During a Minecraft stream, a commenter brought up to Aruran that the state of the Holostars server would drive any (blood) type A person insane due to its messinessnote , to which he realized that the only person in the group with said blood type is Roberu. Sure enough, when Roberu himself drops by the server, he's continously annoyed at the state of things, even taking time to clean things up.
  • Nice Guy: He is an incredibly pleasant person who takes his job seriously as a point of pride, and everyone that he works with tends to praise him on his welcoming attitude.
    • One standout example is when is chat was inundated by a spammer. Most streamers will politely ask the person to stop, while Roberu's reaction was to claim that the spammer probably was having fun and just wanted some attention, and proceeded to "hug" him.
    Roberu: Whether you come from other Holostars, Hololive, HoloID, or even HoloEN, I'll always welcome you. Even a short visit makes me happy.
    • He's also quite quick to socialize with others, and the people he collabs with tend to leave with a positive impression of him. It's noted that this is how is able to make connections easily in the Vtuber community.
  • The Night Owl: Notably averted. Roberu has complained before that he's one of the only streamers he knows with a normal sleeping schedule, as most them stay up late and aren't awake before afternoon.
  • No Indoor Voice:
    • Like Subaru of Hololive, he explains that he can't do proper ASMR videos by showing his inability to whisper. This issue is brought up to Yuki Ono during his visit to Roberu's bar, to which Yuki attempts to teach Roberu.note 
    • He is also a loud person by nature and you'd be hard-pressed to find a stream where he doesn't yell. This is discussed during Pikamee's visit, where he notes that both of them often struggle with having to adjust their volumes when they collab with others.
    • Played for laughs during an Apex tourney afterparty, where upon being grouped with Nagao Kei and Gil, declared their new team as 'Big Voice' almost immediately due to their loud voices.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Compared to the other members' avatars, who mostly have flat colors and simple shading, Roberu's avatar is fully shaded with proper lighting. This carries over to his 3D model as well.
  • Not a Morning Person: Averted. Roberu is one of the few Holopro talents that streams actively in the morning, with his morning talk stream being a staple during weekdays. Although there have been a few occasions where he oversleeps, he delivers his morning streams without fail.
    • He mentions his normal sleep schedule separates him from almost every streamer he knows (most of them being night owls), making it difficult for him to schedule collabs sometimes.
  • Rage Quit: Downplayed. He's usually a good sport about most things, but his horse-betting streams tend to end abruptly this way when his bets don't come through for him.
  • Really Gets Around: Played for laughs. It's a running joke among Animare that Roberu has 'done' all of them (due to him collabing with several of them fairly often).
  • Refuge in Audacity: Roberu's 'weird' streams tend to fall into this category. Examples include (but not limited to):
  • Sanity Slippage: Played for Laughs. His playthrough of Hidden Folks progresses similarly to Korone - in which he starts clicking on everything and parroting the sounds being made, to the point that Shien dropped by to ask him not to make his own sound effects for the game.
  • Signature Laugh: His laugh is quite distinct, to the point that it could be described as cackling. Exaggerated when he streams together with Makea, another loud Vtuber.
  • Singing Voice Dissonance: A downplayed example. His singing voice leans more towards being bright and clear, with a boyish quality to it, which differs slightly to his speaking voice. This is more telling when compared to Meika, whose loud-ness can be heard when he speaks and sings.
    • This is lampshaded by Oga during a talk stream, where he tells Roberu that he becomes cuter when he sings.
  • Straight Man: Sometimes veers into this when he gets visitors to his bar or during collab streams. This says a lot more about the kind of people Roberu likes to approach for collabs than himself, since his stream behavior regularly veers into the realm of absurdity its own.
    • In Stars Collection, this is usually the role he takes on.
  • Skewed Priorities: With the release of Roberu and Ono Yuuki's radio show, he tends to tweet his live reactions during the episodes' primieres. That is, until the fourth episode, where Roberu was actively streaming Winning Post 9 . Rather than take a break to listen to it, he chose to listen to the radio while continuing to play (though he did tweet about it starting and its conclusion). It's worth noting that by the time the radio started airing, he'd been streaming for 8 hours straight (which later stretched to nearly 12 hours).
  • The Team Normal: Unlike Astel (who crashed into Earth from space) and Temma (a knight who was reverse-isekai'd), Roberu lacks any fantastical lore, and is simply a barmaster who streams before opening time.
  • Terrible Artist:
    • There is a reason he's called the "King of Shitty Thumbnails" by the rest of Holopro's talent. He hates making them and they almost never look good, something that Inuyama Tamaki teases him about.
    • He's so bad at it that when Holostars hosted a "bad thumbnail" contest, Roberu was made the MC of the event because if he was allowed to participate, no one else would've had a chance at "winning".
    • This also applies to his drawing skills, with his infamous drawing of a camel, along with several illustrations he made when workshopping his fictional gal game.
  • Unwanted Harem: AniMare's members constantly tease him and claim that he "did it" with all of them. Even the members who he never collabed with.
    Haneru: If we make the rumour not a rumour, then it's fine!
  • Verbal Tic: He tends to clear his throat when he speaks.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?:
    • He's horrified by bugs. He once held a stream to learn about crickets and spent the entire stream in a state of panic. Before this, he once spent the last fourth of a stream panicking when a cicada flew into his room (ironic considering the stream was a cicada noise contest, leading to Regulars joking that his calls were so good, it attracted a mate).
    • He also admits that he has thalassophobia (fear of deep waters), something that he realized after playing ARK. During his his playthrough of INSIDE (2016) - his solution was to pull up a picture of Reina Ueda on his phone to calm him down during the deep water sections.
    • Other fears he has include dark places and tall heights.
  • The Workaholic: Compared to the other Holostars, Roberu's schedules tend to be more packed, to the point that 2-4 daily streams were commonplace for a time. During a collab with Hikasa Tomoshika, he admits he spends a lot of his time streaming, though instead of incredibly long streams like Korone, he breaks them up into smaller streams so his viewers aren't intimidated by the long run time. He states he just finds streaming very fun so he enjoys his rather strict streaming schedule. He's since relaxed on his streaming schedules, but often still hosts guerilla streams just to chat.
    • That being said, it doesn't apply to anything else other than streaming, including preparations for his own streams (like making thumbnails) and he frequently notes how little effort he puts into most things in his life off camera.
    • Between December 2020 to January 2021, he notably hosted fewer streams. A viewer actually voiced their concern about this change, much to his amusement, but replied that rather, it should be a good thing.note 
    • Played for Laughs when he releases a new, packed schedule for the first week of February in 2021, effectively back to the same frequency of streaming he started with.
    Yuuki Ono: Four streams in a row!? That's amazing, Roberu!
    Roberu: I haven't seen that kind of reaction in a while…
