  • Alice Allusion: The group's 2023 outfits all have the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland theme with Mio having the queen's outfit, Okayu having the Cheshire Cat outfit, and Korone having the Alice outfit.
  • Artifact Title: As its name suggests, GAMERS was intended to be a subgroup of Gamer Chicks within a group of otherwise "idol girls", with only Fubuki considered both an idol and a gamer. As time went on, the line between a gamer and an idol vanished as the idols became game streamers and the designated gamer girls began performing idol activities. GAMERS now stands for an unnumbered mini-generation between the second and third generations.
  • Color Failure: All four members undergo it in the two Valentine's Day skits with Marine, when they "die" from eating the Valentine's Day chocolate that they're all deadly-allergic to. Of course, it's all played for (rather dark) laughs.
  • Edible Theme Naming: Both Korone and Okayu are named after food, respectively "chocolate cornet" (the food's name is written in katakana [コロネ] while the eponymous dog is in hiragana [ころね]) and "rice porridge", giving the type of food that each one likes.
  • Gamer Chick: All four of them love video games and many of their videos are devoted to playing them. It's in the unit's name, after all.
  • Little Bit Beastly: All of them are mostly humanoid girls with animal ears and tails.
  • Mixed Animal Species Team: The unit consists of: Fubuki (a fox girl), Mio (a wolf girl), Okayu (a cat girl), and Korone (a dog girl).
  • One Degree of Separation: They all met because of Fubuki. Mio was an old classmate of Fubuki's, Okayu tried out for Hololive following a chance encounter she and Korone had with Fubuki at an arcade, and Korone was recruited on Okayu's recommendation.
  • Sixth Ranger: Ayame and Subaru from Gen 2 are good friends with and often collab with the GAMERS, forming a larger unit informally known as OKFAMS note , which is also an expansion of the previously established grouping known as FAMS (before Okayu and Korone joined hololive). Subaru in particular is often considered an honorary member of GAMERS by fans for how often she collaborates with them, most notably as part of SMOK (a group comprised of Subaru, Mio, Okayu, and Korone).
  • Species Surname: All of them but Fubuki (who predates the rest of the unit) have surnames that refer to their species.
  • Theme Naming: Religion and Mythology. All of them have surnames that relate, in one way or another, to either religion or mythology, but are not directly named after any specific figures:
    • Mio Ookami (大神) - consists of the kanjis for "big/great" and "god", though it can also be read as wolf.
    • Okayu Nekomata (猫又) - same kanjis as the mythological creature of the same name.
    • Korone Inugami (戌神) - consists of the kanjis for "dog (zodiac)", and once again, "god".
    • Fubuki Shirakami (白上) - unlike the others above, the connection is not as obvious. The kanjis, when read literally, means "White" and "Above" respectively. However, this instance of the kanji 上 is pronounced exactly the same as... you guessed it, "kami" (神), meaning her surname can also be read as "White God".
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Despite being distinctly more human than animal, all four GAMERS are deathly allergic to even a bite of chocolate. That said, this is played fast and loose if this skit with Marine is to be believed.

    Shirakami Fubuki 
Originally making her debut under the 1st generation, she was eventually placed under the umbrella of hololive GAMERS for her gaming skill.

Wailing
The feeling that radiates makes my heart strong
Come and follow me, because you're behind me
I won't stray, to the lighted path

Listen to my howling...
The wolf will never stop

A black-haired wolf girl who appeared out of nowhere. Some say she can frequently be seen at shinto shrines. Oh, and she loves video games.


  • Afraid of Needles: As much of a headstrong person she is, Mio is a big chicken when it comes to injections, even making a rap number about her dislikes for them. When she went to the hospital for a blood test, she admits she tried to come up with an excuse to avoid it, but in the end, it wasn't as much of a pain as she expected.
  • Animal Motifs: Wolves.
  • Be Yourself: She states that she had to learn to do this in her early career as a vtuber, as she had a more aggressive side to her that wanted to do more wild things to find her place. She eventually came to the conclusion it was more important to be herself and mellowed out, though she does like to show a wild side of herself every so often.
  • Big Damn Heroes: When Fubuki finds herself in trouble against a stigmatized ayakashi in Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~, Mio suddenly comes in and tosses over Fubuki's katana, Murasamemaru, which quickly swings the battle in Fubuki's favor.
  • Born Lucky: As Fubuki discovers, Mio has an insane amount of luck when they play Yacht Dice together. Fubuki was even asking if she was cheating.
  • Carnivore Confusion: Played for Laughs:
  • Character Catchphrase: Because of her motherly demeanor and caring nature, fans and fellow talents alike have latched on to the notion of Mio as a mother. She regularly responds, "I don't remember giving birth to you!"
  • Cats Are Superior: Her pet cat Taiga doesn't respect her at all.
  • Childhood Friends: With Fubuki. The two knew one another in school, and Fubuki pulled Mio into hololive.
  • Cute Clumsy Girl: Mio certainly has her moments, such as during her Spiritual ASMR, where she drops things, sneezes, and is generally bothered by background noise at several points during the stream.
  • Elemental Punch: Casts a flaming punch spell in Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~.
  • Fortune Teller: Performs tarot readings for her colleagues from time to time.
  • The Friends Who Never Hang: Discussed with Ayame. For how well they get along, they've only had two 1-on-1 collab streams together before May 2021 and they're not sure why that's the case.
  • Going Commando: Goes to sleep without underwear on since her grandmother taught her that not wearing panties is healthier.
  • Guardian Entity: Is occasionally seen with Hatotaurus, a minotaur-like creature with a pigeon's head, horns, and a wolf's tail. Originally "created" by Fubuki, Fubuki described it as "the strongest". In its animated debut video, Mio even remarks that "It's like a Stand".
  • Guest Fighter: Mio is one of the six members chosen to represent hololive during a 2019 collaboration event with Azur Lane, taking on the role of Aircraft Carrier gameplay-wise.
  • The Host: Often takes this role for bigger collab streams with everyone else bouncing off her Straight Man tendencies.
  • The Hyena: It's easy to make her laugh in a wheezing fit and she's once laughed so much that she had to cancel a stream from aggravating her cough.
  • Insistent Terminology: Insists that she's a wolfman, not a werewolf.
  • Language Barrier: As one of the hololivers most affected by the inability to speak English fluently, Mio finds it hard to reach out to the holoEN girls, despite being their senior. During a talking stream commenting on HoloCouncil's debut, she admits that her poor English is part of why she hasn't collaborated with any holoEN member note  fearing that her incorrectly piecing up sentences might be insulting, on top of feeling that she might be putting additional stress on the girls due to her seniority.
  • Not What I Signed on For: She mentioned on HoloTalk that during her interview, GAMERS came to be because YAGOO misinterpreted her statement of "I like playing games" as some sort of testament to her gaming skill. Until then, Mio thought she was interviewing for a spot in the 2nd generation (which YAGOO said she was too late to join) or a future 3rd generation.
  • One Degree of Separation: On the aforementioned HoloTalk stream, she also revealed that she was classmates with Fubuki before her debut in hololive, to the surprise of Kiara and her audience.
  • Precision F-Strike: How Mio introduces herself in English, courtesy of Coco's English lesson.
    Mio: I'm Mio, facking cute wolf!
  • Punny Name: Her family name uses the exact same pun as in Ōkami, the game: It can just as well be read as "great god" or as "wolf". However, while Amaterasu was both a great god and a wolf, Mio on the other hand appears to be just a wolf girl without any direct sign of divinity. The pun is a lot more appropriate in hololive Alternative, where she actually is a kami.
  • Put on a Bus:
    • Went on hiatus from late July to early September 2020 because Capcom copyright-striked her Ghost Trick streams. Due to Youtube's 3-strike rule, another strike would have banned her from the site completely which is what led to the mass privatization of hololive's archive during this time period.
    • Mio's Twitter account was restricted from Christmas 2020 onward and then banned for a few days in early January 2021 before ultimately being restored. Her ban was merely a mistake with Twitter's bot detection brought on by Mio posting too often about hololive's Christmas karaoke relay.
  • Shout-Out: Her whole design is pretty reminiscent of Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill.
  • Simplified Spellcasting: In Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~ chapter 0, Mio just shouts the first verse of her fire punch spell to get it working.
    Mio: By the heavenly pillars, the spirits from all corners... Uh... Insert rest of spell! Full Power! FLAMING PUNCH!
  • Straight Man: As a result of being the Team Mom, Mio typically has this role, especially in the animated shorts where the others are even crazier.
  • Stupid Sexy Flanders:
  • Team Mom: She is seen as the most motherly and the "big sister" of all the cast, regardless of seniority and age:
    • According to other hololive members, she frequently breaks up fights and is the one keeping the peace during "offline collabs" (IRL meet-ups).
    • During a formal vote of who would make the best mother, she was at the top.
    • In AsaCoco - April 20th, 2020's faux interview segment, her given title was "Overseeing Mama of hololive" (ホロライブを見守るママ).
    • Amusingly, after returning from her two-month hiatus, Mio found that her fanbase has started calling her a grandma because 5th gen has their own Team Mom with Lamy. She doesn't take the news well.
    • Miko and Subaru explained that, earlier on in hololive's history before it got big, many members considered quitting but Mio was always there to both encourage them that there was a great future coming and offer firm but kind advice on how they might do better.
  • Trauma Button: In Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~, Mio possesses an ability known as "tracing", which allows herself to see and follow the spiritual connections between people and objects. Of course, there is the problem that following these connections exposes one's soul to beings that otherwise can't be perceived, and some may just hold malicious intent towards the tracer... In an attempt to help someone, Mio ignored the warnings about not using her tracing ability, which led to an encounter with... something. Said encounter would henceforth flash through her mind every time she would attempt to trace since then, causing her to not be too fond of her power.
  • Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Downplayed since you won't exactly see what's happening behind her avatar, but she has her moments.
    • During a 2018 Christmas special, Mio swiftly throws up the spoonful of wasabi she took, much to Subaru and Ayame's horrors before Subaru tries to cover it up by singing "Jingle Bells".
    • During a February 2020 punishment game, Mio is forced to eat some wasabi after losing a game, before reeling from vomiting the sushi she ate. Subaru tries to help with lemon tea but ends up pouring it over Mio's face, essentially waterboarding the poor Wolf.
    • During the second-anniversary stream since her debut, Mio audibly throw up while singing Nana Mizuki's "Shin'ai", and after the song is over, she tries to cut the camera feed, embarrassed by what happened. When Fubuki appears as a guest, the Fox wastes no time attributing Mio's incident to the cake she ate before rehearsing for the song.
      Fubuki: Don't worry, Mio. The floor is covered with snow and the cake is white, so nobody can tell. [Laughs]
      Mio: That makes it even more obvious! Everyone can tell the difference!
  • Wolf Man: She mentioned on multiple occasions that she's a wolfman (狼人間, lit. wolf-human). One time during a Animal Crossing: New Horizons stream, after howling at a full moon, she clarified that she is not a werewolf, but can "transform" regardless. What this transformation actually is however is unknown.
  • Yoko Oh No: Played for Laughs during her 2nd Anniversary concert, Fubuki asks her why she was hiding behind an illustration of herself (in a Shinto-style wedding). Mio tells her that she is getting married. Fubuki did not take the news well.

Mille-feuille sandwich of theoretical armaments (sandwich)
Aurora sauce of anonymous hope (sauce)
It's kinda over-seasoned, but I'll overlook it
As long as it tastes good, that's "ok ok"!
Good things, bad things, I’ll eat lots of them
And wipe my dirtied mouth clean
Onigiris, pizzas, cakes, a high-class full course meal
Questioning if it is a trap, I’ll be careful! Ah~!
A cat raised by an old woman from the onigiri store. She streams just because there is a PC in the old woman’s room.

Okayu is known for her calm disposition and deeper, relaxing voice. She tends to tease and prank the other members (if she isn't stealing their hearts) and choose rude options in RPGs out of a love of comedy and to satisfy her masochistic desire to be admonished. Mostly, she streams in the evening with gaming, chatting, and the occasional karaoke streams. Since August 2020, she's been on a binge of Nintendo platformers and JRPGs.

Okayu joined hololive together with Korone and the two of them form the OkaKoro duo. Okayu's groups include GAMERS, OKFAMS Members, SMOK Members, and OKBR Members. Besides the people in those groups, she also collabs a lot with Aqua, Shion, and her sister (as in sharing the same artist) Shiina from Nijisanji.
