UPROAR!!

  • Cast Herd: Notably, UPROAR!! debuted their members two at a time, with Fuma and Uyu on March 29th, then Gamma and Rio the next day.
  • Significant Birthdate: The birthday of each member of UPROAR!! falls on a day relevant to their lore and/or talent:
    • Fuma's birthday, July 13, marks the anniversary of the release of the American movie The Exorcist in Japan (オカルト記念日), which in turn sparked a wave of interest in the occult, including traditional ones like youkai. Moreover, this date is also the start of Obon in certain prefectures as well.
    • Uyu's birthday, May 10th, falls on Bird Day (愛鳥の日), which marks the start of Bird Week, a period dedicated to raising awareness about the protection of wild birds. Considering that his motif is rather birdlike, and has a pigeon for a companion, it makes sense.
    • Gamma's birthday(Feb 9th) falls on Manga Day (漫画の日), a fitting date for a mangaka. Notably, while there are other dates for this day (such as July 17), this particular date also marks the death anniversary of Astro Boy creator, Osamu Tezuka.
    • Rio's birthday, July 26, falls on Ghost Day (幽霊の日), commemorated after the first performance of the play 'Yotsuya Kaidan' (四谷怪談) in the Edo period, one of the most famous Japanese ghost stories in history.
  • Sleek High Rise Apartment: Gets one as their 3D base, which complements the unit’s chic aesthetic (and contrast what is essentially a bunker in the middle of nowhere of their seniors).
  • Vague Age: A common trend among the members as well, save for Gamma, who's stated to be 25 years old. Everyone else either dodges the question (Uyu) or doesn't remember anymore (Fuma and Rio).
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: They're close as a unit, and do plan to spend a lot of time together. That being said, it doesn't stop them from throwing each other under the bus or exposing each other during streams and on Twitter.


    Yatogami Fuma 

Yatogami Fuma [JP: 夜十神 封魔]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fosl5cjacaezl2z.jpg
"Welcome to the spirit odd jobs!
We do anything!"

"I love sweet treats! I love games! I love to chat! A fixer who loves human pastimes. Is also a bit of a clean-freak. Started UPROAR!! upon receiving an odd-job request."

Debut date: March 29th, 2022
Birthday: July 13th
Age (at debut): Unknown
Height: 168 cm
Fanbase name: Tsukibito
Illustrator: sakusya2
Channel: Youtube
Social Media: Twitter

  • The Ace: He's a fairly strong gamer in a few aspects, from a Diamond rank in Apex to being at Masterball rank in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Notably, he's also very skilled at Splatoon 2, having the highest rank for all 4 ranked modes (X rank).
  • Ascended Fanboy: According to Fuma, he's been following Holostars for a long time, since around the time Chibistars joined the VSaikyo Apex tournament in 2020. Come 2022, and he's finally able to debut and join the Holostars himself.
  • Butt-Monkey: His first day on Twitter shortly after UPROAR's debut dates were announced was a little rough, not only being chased and 'killed' by Risu during his first interaction with her, but also just being teased by Uyu and Rio. And then he slips up by putting the wrong year in his debut announcement tweet, leading to all three of his fellow genmates to poke fun at him for it, much to his chagrin.
    • He is also excessively teased by his genmates (mostly Gamma) about being an old grandpa, due to his age and the fact he sleeps and wakes early.
  • Color Motif: Yellow, though it's of a darker shade than Temma's.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: Despite being the leader of the group and the one to establish UPROAR, it might not be entirely clear that he's in charge, at least not if Rio or Uyu has anything to say about it so far in this exchange on Twitter. That being said, they really do appreciate him.
  • Jack of All Trades: Fuma's occupation, taking up errands and odd-jobs for a fee. In fact, the reason why UPROAR!! exists is because he was requested by Shinove to find and recruit new members for Holostars, as explained in his introduction video and subsequent secret story (a manga created by Gamma).
  • Motor Mouth: He's a really fast talker, and can rap equally well too, as demonstrated from one of his audition tapes, where he rapped his introduction. Fittingly, rapping is listed as one of his interests.
  • Mascot: His companion raccoon youkai, named Kotatsu due to being warm and fluffy. It can also show up alongside him in his Live2D model, and can even float to reach Fuma's head.
  • Mundane Utility: His very first moment in StarKore has him conjuring fire…to burn up the weeds at the Holostars’ base.
  • Neat Freak: Stated in his bio to be this, and one of his dislikes includes dirt.
  • Occult Blue Eyes: His Ayakashi mode, used when he's competitive, has his eyes turn ice blue.
  • Really 700 Years Old: He doesn't really know how old he is on account of being a youkai (though he figures that he's been around for at least a few centuries), but his appearence is that of a teenage boy.
  • Sweet Tooth: He's stated to enjoy sweet things, particularly those made with sweet potatoes. He is also very fond of dorayaki, with his genmate Gamma dubbing him as 'dorayaki gramps'.
  • Youkai: A raccoon youkai. He's able to see and interact with Rio during their first meeting, and used his powers to grant him a physical form for the others to see him. He wears gloves because he's afraid of negatively affecting human objects with his powers (and also because he hates dirt.)

    Utsugi Uyu 

Utsugi Uyu [JP: 羽継 烏有]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fsuu0zwamaiuelq_min.jpg
"Would you like me to steal you away?"

"The phantom thief infatuated with beauty. Rumor has it "there are treasures only an idol can obtain". He is becoming an idol to get his hands on these treasures."

Debut date: March 29th, 2022
Birthday: May 10th
Age (at debut): Secret
Height: 177 cm
Fanbase name: Fantom
Illustrator: yonemuro
Channel: Youtube
Social Media: Twitter

  • Alliterative Name: Utsugi Uyu.
  • Calling Card: His debut episode in StarKore centers around it, as he runs out of calling card variations and wants to make a new one. After much shenanigans, Shien helps him write one that he’s pleased with…which he promptly sends to none other than Shien to announce that he’s stealing his "treasure".
  • Character Tic: He occasionally clicks his tongue at the end of sentences, a habit he developed long before his debut.
  • Classy Cravat: He wears a cravat to go along with his concept as an elegant, beauty-loving Phantom Thief.
  • Color Motif: A light cream color, like his hair, though his streetwear-style idol outfit uses a hot pink, like the streaks in his hair, instead.
  • Combat Stilettos: He wears a pair of high-heeled boots and as shown in StarKore, he can jump around through buildings and perfectly land on a lamppost in them without any difficulty.
  • Cool Mask: Spots one that he can take on and off whenever he wants, though he notes he can't really see well with it.
  • Curtains Match the Window: White hair and pupils, though the latter is a bit more grayish.
  • Harem Seeker: He's the gender-swapped version of Nene in this aspect, with him agreeing to "marry" the chat on a dime and has racked up a considerable collection of spouses even before he debuted.
  • Just Like Robin Hood: In UPROAR!!’s origin story, he clarifies that he only steals from the wicked.
  • Living a Double Life: He makes a living as a cafe manager by day, and operates as a Phantom Thief by night.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: His hair length reaches his mid-shoulders, and he's a very beautiful-looking man.
  • Mellow Fellow: Particularly when it comes to horror games, facing jump-scares with merely a laugh. Rather, he gets more heated when playing competitive games.
  • Motor Mouth: He really loves to chat. So much that his first gaming stream extended to 7 hours because of how much time he put into chatting than playing the game, to the shock of Temma when he found out how long it took for Uyu to beat the gamenote . Hilariously, it's currently a trend of Uyu's to title his streams as doing something for "a little bit", only for it to go on for much longer than expected.
  • Neat Freak: Not to the same level as Fuma, but during his first solo visit to the Holostars' Minecraft server, expressed distaste several times upon seeing the disorganized mess of most of the chests he finds.
  • The Night Owl: Apart from having night streams, Uyu is able to stream for long periods of time, even late into the night if he so desires.
  • Parrot Pet Position: He has a rather well-dressed bird perched on his shoulders. His later tweets indicate that it's a Jacobin pigeon named Jyako, who not only serves as a diversion during Uyu's heists, but can speak as well.
  • Phantom Thief: Per his bio, and it’s mentioned that his purpose for becoming an idol is to get his hands on "treasures only an idol can obtain". According to him, his grandfather was one too after catching him stealing, only for him to tell him that it was fine as long as the items were from bad people.
  • Talking Animal: Jyako can talk and communicate with Uyu just like human, and sometimes even streams on her own.
  • Troll: He greatly enjoys teasing the Fantoms, as well as the joking retorts they fire back with. This teasing nature of his carries over to his genmates in UPROAR!!, taking opportunity to poke fun at them.
    • After being fooled by Temma into believing a lie, he considers reusing it later in the next group collab, since he feels they're gullible enough to fall for it.
  • Vague Age: Although he looks like a beautiful young man, he dodges any and all enquiries of his age. That being said, his mannerisms seem to indicate that he's a little older than he lets on, resulting in the Fantom affectionately calling him a 'boomer'. A DBD collab with Temma has him slip up and reveal that he's 28 years old.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He absolutely hates cockroaches, even refusing to write out its full name in his dislike (he only wrote a G in red, short for "Gokiburi" aka cockroach in Japanese). He notes that while he hasn't had any in his own home, he's seen enough at friends' houses to be afraid of them.

    Hizaki Gamma 

Hizaki Gamma [JP: 緋崎 ガンマ]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foq374quyaa_kwa.jpg
"Having fun is the key to winning in life!☆"

"The party animal manga artist who also runs an underground business. He used to think manga was the awesomest, but he realized that singing and dancing idols are also awesome. He is aiming to be the most awesome."

Debut date: March 30th, 2022
Birthday: Febuary 9th
Age (at debut): 25
Height: 178 cm
Fanbase name: Assistants
Illustrator: takita
Channel: Youtube
Social Media: Twitter

  • Accidental Misnaming: A victim of this in a StarKore episode, where everyone calls him by various letters of the Greek Alphabet except the right one. And "Gunman" too.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Rio calls him 'Ganchan', which he also uses to address himself.
  • Book Dumb: While he's undeniably an excellent artist, he's admitted to have hated studying in the past, and occasionally gets confused when playing games due to not understanding mechanics (though it could also be argued that it's partially self-inflicted by not reading instructions).
    • Notably, during his first Minecraft collab with the other members of Uproar and Astel, he was the 2nd to complete his puzzle room...by bruteforcing his way out instead of solving it.
  • Color Motif: Red, though it's a little darker compared to Miyabi's.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: He can occasionally talk about the most outlandish things during his chatting/drawing streams, to the astonishment (and amusement) of his viewers. Played for laughs during his first collab with Roberu, where he addresses himself as UPROAR!!'s idiot.
  • Cuteness Proximity: How he ended up agreeing to join Fuma. Although he was intimidated by Fuma, Kotatsu's cuteness ended up winning him over.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: His default suit has the shirt untucked and sleeves rolled up on the right side, while the left side doesn't.
  • Fiery Redhead: Zigzagged. Sure, he's got a lot of passion, but according to Rio, Gamma is actually the most level-headed of the four of them, being the one who reads situations the best. He gets awfully fired up while playing PowerPro, however...
  • Gratuitous English: Similar to Roberu, although his English isn't very strong, he's certainly passionate, and is always happy to chat with his overseas viewers.
  • The Gadfly: Downplayed. He's a good guy, but wasted no time poking fun at all of his fellow members when introducing them in his debut stream, much to their chargrin. Six minutes into his first collab with Roberu had him throwing shade at the Baystars, Roberu's favorite baseball team.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • He's wanted to be a manga artist when he was young, having pitched his ideas when he was 18 to Shueisha after creating the manga within a month. Although he was rejected (partially due to not using the proper mediums to produce the manga), he was told he had potential and to grow a little more (as well as learn to draw manga properly) before submitting again. A year later, he pitched a different manga idea, but was also rejected as well.
    • He holds a lot of gratitude towards Holostars, and is proud of the fact that he's able to become one of them. A chatting stream reveals that he's actually a Regular and watched a lot of Roberu's streams. He found it incredible that just not long ago, he was just a viewer, and now, in the same room, he's streaming as part of Uproar.
  • Life of the Party: He’s a self-proclaimed "party animal manga artist", and his first original song "Hyper Paripi Rhapsody" really has that rave vibe going on.
  • Motor Mouth: Just like Fuma, he's a really fast talker.
  • Meaningful Name: His surname can mean "scarlet tree", and his Color Motif is red.
  • Percussive Therapy: His desk is often subjected to this, to the point that during a gaming stream, he hit his desk so often that it caused one of his streaming cables to disconnect, causing him to end it prematurely. Apparently his solution was to get another desk for hitting purposes.
  • Sdrawkcab Name: The name "Gamma (ガンマ)" comes from reversing the sylables in the word "manga (マンガ)".
  • Sequential Artist: A party-loving mangaka with the drawing skills to prove it. He not only drew his own debut countdown art, a portion of his debut stream shows off several comic strips he made about him and UPROAR!!, and does illustration streams where he either draws himself or other Holopro members.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: He dresses in a snazzy suit, which usually isn’t seen from a mangaka.
  • The Team Normal: Among a ghost, a youkai and a phantom thief, Gamma is just a regular upbeat mangaka - excluding whatever "underground business" he has mentioned in his bio. He even drew a series of comic strips depicting his reaction to the oddities of his groupmates.
  • Tempting Fate: On the receiving end of this during his 50k RingFit endurance stream. Upon reaching his goal, he mused what would happen if people unsubscribed, wondering if he had to keep going to make the counter go back up. Sure enough, the Assistants decide to humor him, causing him to hit 50k not once but four times, due to him not thinking to pause the counter once he hit his initial goal.
  • Verbal Tic: He has a habit of phrasing the suffix 'ます' (masu) to sound more like 'みぁす' (miasu), which is most evident when he thanks viewers for donations.

    Minase Rio 

Minase Rio [JP: 水無世 燐央]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fonedviaqayxbm5_6.jpg
"You can see me too? This is my home.
It's so full of life."

"A ghost who passed away while still determined to be an idol. He spent his early ghost days lazing around until, upon Fuma's invitation, he decided to aim to be an idol once again. He can't deal with ghosts and scary things, himself excluded."

Debut date: March 30th, 2022
Birthday: July 26th
Age (at debut): Unknown
Height: 170 cm
Fanbase name: RIOFAM
Illustrator: KEKI

Social Media: Twitter

  • Born Lucky: In his debut stream, he mentions that he's quite lucky, something that Roberu picks up on and brings up during the former's visit to Bar Robel.
  • Color Motif: Bluish lavender.
  • Cute Ghost Girl: A gender-inverted example - if his boyish appearance isn't enough to endear people to him, then his affable, soft-spoken demeanour will seal the deal.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Apart from the fact that he died young (with the reason left unknown), his conversation with a cat while wandering implies that he didn't have the best family growing up either, noting that he had to watch the idols he loved so much in secret away from his mother's eyes and that his parents 'didn't even love his voice'.
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: Compared to his groupmates, it's possible to mistake him as a girl, along with his androgynous voice.
  • Effeminate Voice: When he sings, he sounds almost identical to a deep-voiced girl. While his speaking voice has a more boyish quality to it, it is still quite androgynous.
  • Fading Away: Fitting his nature as a ghost, this is how he transitions himself out whenever he needs to AFK.
  • Friendly Ghost: He may be dead, but he's not too bummed about that, being quite friendly and respectful to all who speak to him.
  • Hitodama Light: There is a floating will-o'-wisp near his head, an indication of his ghostly status.
  • In Touch with His Feminine Side: He likes cute/pretty things, and holds interest in cosmetics as well. Although due to his status as a ghost, he can't really apply it on himself and contents himself by looking at the packaging.
  • Intangibility: Since he’s a ghost, he can pass through walls and objects with no issue. This also means that his 3D model can clip through things legitimately because it’s in-character instead of being a problem in other cases.
  • Invisible to Normals: As a ghost, he initially couldn’t be perceived by humans like Uyu and Gamma. He's only made visible and tangible thanks to Fuma.
  • Ironic Fear: He’s a ghost who’s terrified of ghosts and horror. His playthrough of Biohazard 7 prove that this was in fact not an exaggeration.
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: He has a white, long-haired cat, named Luca, whom he met as a stray while wandering as a ghost. It eventually became his Mascot.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Has long, wavy purplish hair and is illegally cute.
  • The Nicknamer: Has names for his genmates (Fu~ma, Uyupi and Ganchan), as well as some for his seniors (such as Aruru for Arurandeisu).
  • The Night Owl: He enjoys staying up late, and notably was up till 4am on his first day on Twitter replying to everyone's greetings.
  • Unfinished Business: Zigzagged. Although he dreamed of becoming an idol when he was alive, he spent most of his beginning years as a ghost just roaming around directionlessly. It was when he met Fuma that he decided to aim for his original goal again.
  • Vague Age: Although he now exists as a ghost, and evidently died young, it isn't known how long he's been around as a ghost.
