Tokino Sora

Tokino Sora [JP: ときのそら; CN: 时乃空]

"Kon-some, Sora-tomos! How are you doing?"

Debut date: September 7th, 2017
Birthday: May 15th, 2000
Height: 160 cm
Fanbase name: Sora-tomo
Illustrator: Ikaki

(formerly), ordan

3D modeler: schwarz

(2020 and onwards), Yatsurugi

(stage appearances)
Channel: Youtube

Social Media: Twitter

Age (at debut): 17

Affiliation: Sora Train, Sora Guild
Occupation (bar idol): CEO of Sora Train, Founder of the Sora Guild (in Minecraft)

Associated characters: Yoruno Sora [JP: よるのそら] (Mirror Self/Older Alter Ego), A-chan (close friend)

A God I Am Not: Frequently, she tells her chat she is not a goddess (or a deity in general), and it extends using "-sama" to address her. Kaela however ends up calling her one until she calls her a "Minecraft God", and Kaela ends up pulling this trope as well.
Animal Motifs: Bears. Her sidekick, icon, and occasional outfit are based around them.
Authority Sounds Deep: While Sora is normally softspoken, she can pull off a rather impressively-deep voice when she needs to.
Beware the Nice Ones:
- Hologra tends to play this up, along with her Surprisingly Creepy Moments, such as having a murderous intent, or giving someone an Implied Death Threat; these moments are typically Played for Laughs.
- Crosses over with Mama Bear during the HoloX introductory episodes, where she initially showed up to defend Iroha until she found out that Iroha had been trying to defeat the strongest members of the other generations only to bite off more than she could chew, and then when the rest of HoloJP confronts La+ over all of her attempts to harm or sabotage the other generations.
- Deliberately invoked during Baelz's 3D showcase, where Sora was requested to demonstrate what it's like when she's "very, very angry". The result left Baelz, Fubuki, Subaru, and the chat genuinely terrified due to how drastic of a departure it was from Sora's usual cheerful demeanor.
Comedic Sociopathy: Downplayed as she isn't as sadistic or insane like some of her genmates or kouhais, but when she appears in certain Hologra episodes, she emits murderous intent which includes a Death Glare. The person at the receiving end are understandably freaked out.
Cool Big Sis: After Iofi shares that she was an older sister but wanted to know what it was like to be a younger sibling, Sora and Iofi agree to be sisters with Sora as the elder. Iofi happily refers to her as "Sora-nee-chan" afterwards
Curtains Match the Window: Her original model and her 2021 casual outfit both have brown eyes to match her hair.
Don't Call Me "Sir":
- Justified. While she is the ultimate senpai, she is also one of the youngest members in the Japanese branch so she doesn't prefer nicknames denoting superiority such as "Goddess" and wants her kouhais and fans to see her as an equal or a friend. See Lonely at the Top below.
- In Kanata's 1st birthday stream, Sora sends a congratulatory video in which she pokes at Kanata for being unable to speak with her normally on account of being her Fangirl. Though Played for Laughs, Sora does express she would have preferred Kanata to speak with her normally, rather than the Nervous Wreck Kanata becomes in her presence.
The Dreaded: Played for laughs, where Sora's status as the most senior idol and her capacity for surprisingly solemn, serious reactions served to deter her juniors from antagonizing her in any way, as no one would dare to be on the receiving end of her legendary Implied Death Threat, regardless of whether they're regular mortals or possibly-immortal and ageless supernatural beings.
Elegant Classical Musician:
- Sora has been playing the piano since she was four years-old and has learned how to use at least six other instruments.
- She is trained in singing opera and demonstrates it in her August 6, 2021 stream by singing "Caro mio ben" and "Star vicino". Two weeks after that, she does a singing stream that is all classical music.
Engrish: Zigzagged. Sora can understand English to a small extent, but by her admission she isn't at all good at it. On the other hand, when asked to sing a song with English lyrics, she can pull it off without any issue. Her diction however appears to be improving over time, with her making an effort to communicate with her overseas viewers; she even goes so far as to purchase an Japanese-to-English dictionary to aid in her communication in the language.
Evil Twin: Sora begins one of her covers by introducing one. Essentially a Palette Swap of her usual avatar, with a very light shade of brunette hair, golden eyes, and darker set of clothes which are otherwise identical with her default. As Sora explains in the subsequent stream, her main purpose is meant to be an Older Alter Ego, but Sora uses the two models separately enough it comes across as more of this trope.
The Face: Of Hololive as a whole, she is the defacto representative of the company when it comes to general appearances and interviews. For all intents and purposes, Sora represents the entire company as the Idol who shouldered it as it grew until it became popular. The company would not exist as it does without her hard work and she represents Hololive's hard work and determination to reach it's current success from it's more humble beginnings.
Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Her long-time sidekick is Ankimo, a living teddy bear.
Guest Fighter: Sora 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.
Hypercompetent Sidekick: A-Chan serves as one for her, being her manager, technician, and occasional co-star rolled into one, as Sora herself has little knowledge of computers and software.
Innocent Blue Eyes: Her models starting from Spring of 2018 have these, though her original one and her 2021 casual outfit have brown eyes to go with the brown hair. The reveal stream for her casual outfit has her explaining that the blue eyes are actually color contacts.
Innocent Swearing: Her Meme Review collaboration with Coco exposes her to the word "Motherfucker", a word she is not familiar with. When they encounter a meme where it says "Coco is going to try to make Sora say Motherf*cker", she by all intents and purposes, refuses to teach her to say it. She ends up saying it anyway, and Coco asked her to say it again, which she does.
The Leader: She's considered the leader of all the hololive idols, and as such there is a considerable amount of respect and formality given to her.
Living Toys: Ankimo, her teddy bear sidekick. He appears in both inert and living — albeit non-speaking — forms, and Sora likes to talk through him in a squeaky voice.
Lonely at the Top: She is the DAI-Sempai, the one who carried Hololive into stardom, because of this everyone in Hololive treats her with almost god like reverence and respect, more then a few become nervous wrecks just talking to her, but Sora would much rather everyone just treat her normally. Starting in 2023 Sora began to work at breaking her own pedestal, first by doing more collabs, as well as engaging in more pranks and shenanigans with the others. The Sora-tomo also helped with this by actively discouraging new members from calling her a "Goddess" and trolling her as much as they do others, usually by giving her ridiculous nicknames such as Soda or Sofa.
Modesty Shorts: Blue ones, unique in them being present from the start rather than being a later addition enforced by Youtube's stringent policies.
Nerves of Steel: Sora very rarely gets scared when playing horror games, and on the few times she does, she's merely brought to Stunned Silence than screaming.
Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: She tends to play this role in the [Horror] labeled Holo no Graffiti episodes, and plays the main antagonist of hololive ERROR.
Not So Above It All:
- Her roles in Holo no Graffiti are slowly involving her in increasingly weird contexts, such as a ghost doppelganger, reading stereotypical Tsundere lines, becoming a piano, and at one point making a real katana out of paper with murderous intent. All but one of those moments were Played for Laughs.
- It's been elaborated that she actually wants and wishes to join in the shenanigans of her fellow talents, since while every girl in multiple branches tend to be quirky, but deliberately downplaying their quirks around her, this actually makes her feel lonely, since she wants to have as much fun as her genmates and kouhais. As such, she joins in Pekora pranking whoever "blew up" Ankimo Mountain, joined Coco's Meme Review (which spawned the legendary meme of her uttering the word "Motherfucker"), and just wants to have as much fun with them. Luckily the other girls recognize this, and let her in on the fun.
Shout-Out: Her 2023 birthday outfit is heavily inspired by the outfit Ai Hoshino from Oshi no Ko wore when going incognito.
Tsundere: She of all people pulled the cliché Tsundere lines in How to Invoke a Kaiju Hologra, but as a Type B.
Token Wholesome: Despite not really trying to maintain such an image, she's considered to be the one traditionally "pure" idol of the group. Incidents like the swearing mentioned above are few and far between. This seems to extend to her depiction in Azur Lane, as "special touching" her normal skin just has her talk about cheering up the commander (though her other skin has a reaction).
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Sora is frightened of wriggly things like worms, being one of the few things that can actually elicit a terrified reaction from her.

Roboco

Roboco-san [JP: ロボ子さん; CN: 萝卜子]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/508a5a64_44b3_45e0_817d_49701e15f58e.png

"Hello-bo!"

Debut date: March 4th, 2018
Birthday: May 23rd
Height: 154 cm
Fanbase name: Robosa
Illustrator: kuromaru9

Channel: Youtube

Social Media: Twitter

Species: Android

Affectionate Nickname: Korone gives her the nickname "Roborobo".
ASMR Video: Features as a prominent part of her content and it comes in many types.
Big Red Button: There's a bright red button on the back of her neck that even she is unsure of what it does. Kiara relates to that seldom-explored attribute during their Holotalk episode given she has a similar taboo concerning her belt (which would transform her into a phoenix if used), and recommends that Roboco puts some tape on the button to avoid accidentally triggering it.
Chained by Fashion: Her Regal outfit has a set of handcuffs and a collar with short trailing chains.
Girly Bruiser: Strong robot girl with the most adorable battlestation.
Jack of All Trades: Her content is rather wide and varied, featuring the usual gaming and singing, alongside ASMR, chatting, cooking, eating and even video shorts.
Little Bit Beastly: Often shows up on stream with either cat ears or rabbit ears on her head.
Major Injury Underreaction: She loses one arm in one of the animated shorts and brushes it off with a calm disposition. She gets a replacement not two minutes later. Almost one and a half year later, this becomes a Brick Joke at the end of Help! I'll be Burned!.
Non-Standard Character Design: Roboco is one of the only members of Hololive who, at least initially, lacked cel-shading to her model, making her come across more like a CGI model as opposed to a model-converted cartoon drawing.
Pants-Free: She doesn't actually have pants or any underwear on in her default outfits. She has robotic parts that cover up her crotch, parts of her butt, and the inner parts of her thighs, making it look like she's wearing chaps. It's not noticeable most of the time anyway as she only shows her upper body in most streams.
Ridiculously Human Robots: Aside from the obviously robotic bits that are barely visible half the time due to her clothing and her avatar being shown from the chest up, she's basically indistinguishable from any other idol that's flesh and blood at first glance. Despite being mechanical, Roboco still has to eat and sleep, and she has the whole range of emotions that a normal girl has.
Robot Girl: In all her High-Spec glory. She isn't called Roboco-san for nothing.
School Uniforms are the New Black: Out of everybody in hololive ERROR's cast, she is the only one to wear the Aogami High School uniform often, even with her content at the time having nothing to do with ERROR whatsoever.
Super-Strength: She's noted to be incredibly strong, which makes sense on account of her being a machine.
Uniformity Exception: Unike the other 3D only talents (Sora, Miko and AZKi), her model was made by Kuromaru, which allowed her to get accessories and outfits faster than them. Unlike others, her top could be entirely removed revealing only stragetically place metal pieces on her breasts keeping things from going full R-18. This is still too much for YouTube's rules, so this detail is mainly seen in full in fanart and Kuromaru's older works (the racy foot day tweet art being among them).
Unlimited Wardrobe: She has the most alternate outfits of any member, with her having at least 8. Although these outfits inevitably repeat, she tends to not wear the same one consecutively and constantly alternates.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Ironically enough, despite being an android, she's made more than a few comments hinting at a desire to eat Pekora and Watame.

Sakura Miko

Sakura Miko [JP: さくらみこ; CN: 樱巫女]

"Nyahello~!"

Debut date: August 1st, 2018 (Cover), December 25th, 2018 (hololive)
Birthday: March 5th
Height: 152 cm
Fanbase name: 35P (みこP/MikoP)
Illustrator: Yūichi Tanaka

(formerly), ordan

3D modeler: schwarz

Channel: Youtube

Social Media: Twitter

Alias: Mikochi, Elite Miko, Demon Lord Miko, Chappy
Age (at debut): 18, aging at the rate of 0.1 per year

Affiliation: Shikemura ELITE Construction —> Shiranui Construction, MiComet, Hoguchi Live
Occupation (bar idol): Shrine maiden, CEO of Shikemura ELITE Construction —> Education manager of Shiranui Construction (in Minecraft) President of Hoguchi Live (in Grand Theft Auto V)

Night after night, chasing after dreams
To prevent them from decaying away
Swaying, swaying, let's dance
I'll chant a poem until the break of dawn

— Kagetsu no Yume

Associated characters: Kintoki [JP: 金時] (shikigami), Mikodanye [JP: ミコダニェ] (Super-Deformed Literal Split Personality)

Ambiguously Gay: Averted, in stark contrast to her peers. Miko has constantly, consistently expressed her lack of interest in men while fawning over busty women in the next sentence, and has only ever expressed romantic and sexual interest in women on camera.
Marine: Question 6: What type of men do you like?
Miko: Eh, "men"!? None. I'm sorry, but that's out of my field. I can talk about girls though.
Animal Motifs: While it is of lesser importance compared to the actual animal people, she has a cat motif along with her Miko and sakura motifs. This is emphasized in her second outfit and her personal greetings ("Nyahello!"). Her casual outfit makes the motif more obvious by giving her a brown cat-eared beret as an optional accessory. Her 2022 outfit took this the furtherest of all, by including an optional cat-eared hoodie and a cat tail.
Art Shift: When she collabs with other hololive members, her guests tend to use their 3D model instead of their usual appearance, presumably for consistency's sake as Miko is one of the few members who's been 3D since her debut. Some examples of this include her A Way Out playthrough with Korone and her GTA Online sessions with Suisei.
Ascended Fanboy:
- As a fan of Eroge games, along with Marine and AZKi, did a song for a visual novel called Aikiss 2.
- In collaboration with well-known eroge studio ALcot she got her own short visual novel, Sakura-iro Dreamer, based on her life before she joined Hololive.
The Baby of the Bunch: Not appearance-wise, but in terms of personality. Given her Womanchild tendencies and childish voice, Miko is often referred to by fans and fellow talents as a baby, and on the occasions where she and Luna interact, it often devolves into a contest to see who can out-baby the other. Miko being Miko, demands that if people are going to call her a baby anyway, they have to specifically refer to her as an "Elite baby", or else. This further gained traction when her official Nendoroid by Good Smile Company actually comes with a baby-sized body swap, bib and all.
BFG: She gained a pink M202 FLASH as an accessory option in late January 2024, complete with a small 35P carrying the launcher's name tag.
Born Unlucky:
- In spite of her love for gambling, Miko is astoundingly unlucky, always getting the short-end of the stick when it comes to RNG, betting games, and even Rock-Paper-Scissors against a pre-recorded Watame. Numerous stories from real life and her childhood also oftentimes mention countless incidents of misfortune. This is all made even more ironic because sakura trees are symbols of good luck.
- Given how many times a misplaced bucket of lava ruined her day in Minecraft, it's safe to say her bad luck extends farther than just gambling minigames. In fact, her unfortunate accidents with lava are so infamous that they're referenced in other media, like a bucket of lava accessory for her official Nendroid or lava being an occasional Miko-centric plot point or Running Gag in hololive - Holo no Graffiti.
- Even when lava's not involved, she's still unlucky, as the very first amethyst geode she broke open contained tons of creepers ready to blow her up — meanwhile, everyone else who streamed the Cliffs and Caves update had relatively peaceful first impressions.
Big "SHUT UP!": One of her catchphrases is "Damare!" (or rather, "Dyamare!", due to her unique accent), typically shouted out loud in an attempt to shut someone up or to vent frustration.
Bratty Half-Pint: Miko is a mere 152 cm, which is noticeably short, and she's a very frequent complainer as a result of her bad luck and Butt-Monkey status.
Breakout Character: Due to Miko's immense popularity, during July and August of 2021, she held a special collab with a café chain where certain branches in Akihabara, Japan would get themed as Sakura Miko's Elite Café, which would be redecorated with a Miko theme, served Miko-themed food, and even was given her own mascot Mikodanye.
Butt-Monkey: One of Miko's core characterisations is her tendency to get bullied over her clumsiness, whether it's in onstream roleplay or in Holo Gra, expect many jokes to be made at her expense.
The Cameo: She appears as an alternate outfit for Kiriko in 100% Orange Juice!.
Character Catchphrase: Her signature "Nyahello", which is inspired from Yui Yuigahama, only changing it from the original "Ya-hello".
Characterization Marches On: When she first debuted, Miko was supposedly a pure, articular, soft-spoken and polite (if lazy) shrine maiden sent by the Virtual Gods to our world to become an idol, and through that learn of popular culture to enrich the realm where she came from. Somewhere down the line, she gradually drifted away from that description and became the foul-mouthed, unintelligible Comedic Sociopath Womanchild she is today, with no further mention of her mission from her Master. The only remaining traces of her original self are the name and her cat Kintoki, who has largely been Demoted to Extra.
Cherry Blossom Girl: Her character is themed around this, with her surname being Sakura, having pink hair, and having a Cherry Blossom motif.
Commonality Connection: Develops one with Zeta over their shared clumsiness. In a Minecraft stream, when watching Zeta get in a ride, only to prematurely leave the minecart and get stuck, Miko breaks her free. Zeta apologizes for the trouble and admits that she is "pon", but Miko also says that she is pon. When she says "pon friend", Zeta was more than happy to hear that.
Continuity Nod: The Holo Graffiti episode "Help! I'll be Burned!" revolves around Ayame egging on Miko with a lava bucket.
Cool Shades: Miko is frequently pictured with a pair of sunglasses, seemingly going along with her elite status, it is often present even in her Minecraft skin. The Miku Miku Dance model of her first outfit even has an option to equip one of these.
Cute, but Cacophonic: Miko's normal speaking voice is already very high-pitched and nasal for her age (almost sounding like a squeaky toy on occasion), but she tends to play this up even more while on-stream, not helped by how she will occasionally turn on the reverb by mistake and crank the volume up to a truly ear-piercing level. Her Motor Mouth tendencies also make her speech almost unintelligible sometimes because of her unique accent, which has been described by many as sounding similarly to the babbling of a toddler. She has been jokingly called a baby by the chat on many occasions because of this, and it's even referenced on her own Nendroid, having a body swap option of a baby in pink onesies and a bib, and a head swap of Miko with a pacifier.
Drives Like Crazy: A common joke among her chat is that being in a car with her is a death sentence. Any game with driving as a major element is fair game. Assetto Corsa? Check. Euro Truck Simulator? Check. Grand Theft Auto V? Oh freaking boy. In those streams, chat will be filled with fans simultaneously laughing their heads off and begging for their lives, and Miko sometimes plays along for comedy. For instance, she will "tie up" the chat and force them to be her passengers. She'll also often turn her avatar around and put herself in the driver's seat just to make the situation more absurd.
Engrish: Her grasp of the English language leaves a lot to be desired. The 35P humorously refer to her brand of English as "Elite English".
- One of her more infamous moments is the butchering of Queen's "We Will Rock You".
- In an English telephone game, she would have single-handedly sabotaged her team's attempts at succeeding if not for Choco.
- Her 15 minute stream with Coco about the Statue of Liberty (which Miko translates as "Freedom Lady") goes off the rails during the 2nd part where Miko's goal is to ask Coco (who is a humanoid dragon) "to fly me to the top of the Statue of Liberty". After initially making progress and almost getting Coco to understand correctly, Miko blurts out "Butterfly, patapatta top!" This massively confuses Coco to the point where Coco starts to think Miko wants to jump OFF the top of the Statue to kill herself. This confusion lasts almost 5 minutes with Coco becoming increasingly disturbed and Miko not understanding in English the concept of "killing yourself", which results to a confused Miko screaming "WHAT THE FUCK!" at Coco. Eventually Coco figures out the "Fly vs Butterfly" confusion and explains it to Miko.
- She once interpreted Moona's questions about breeding Miko's captured villagers in Minecraft as Moona asking Miko to bear her children.
- During her stream of Among Us with English speaking fans, she misspelled "sus" as "sws". She basically just runs with this, to the point where new players are using the spelling themselves. She also largely communicates in "No", "Elite" and "FAQ".
- On another telephone game that included some hololive EN members, she still butchered pretty much every phrase passed to her.
  Amelia: (to Miko) I like to drink hot chocolate and ice skate in winter. What about you?
  Miko: (to Gura) I rike wink hot choco-late I skay winner whabowyou?
  Gura: Uhh... one more time, please...?
  Miko: (now enunciating every word louder) I rike dorinku hot chocolay and... ice skay winter... with you.
Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: Once told a story about how a staff member had shown her a clip of herself and asked what she was saying, as they needed to write subtitles for a blu-ray. However, even Miko herself couldn't understand what she was saying.
Failure Hero: While on collabs, there's a 50/50 chance of her winning, on her own channel where she's the main focus, 9 times out of 10, she never wins at competitions, which she's always quick to lampshade. Of note is Watame's Tsunomaki Janken series, which Miko is a big fangirl of, but never wins at despite the outcomes being predetermined.
Fashionable Asymmetry: Miko only wears one stocking on her left leg, with her right being left bare.
Game Mod: Around May 2021, Miko had good time installing various Miko-themed mods on her Minecraft game like MikoP villagers and Miko-faced Ghasts.
Girlish Pigtails: She has a pair of low-worn pigtails in her casual outfit.
Goroawase Number:
- 35 ("mi-ko"). Her fanbase is accordingly referred to as "35P/MikoP", and incidentally, her birthday is on March 5, making it her Arc Number of sorts. Her Superchat donations are also typically in amounts that refer to this.
- 45 ("shi-ko"). Like Miko herself, the 35Ps will occasionally engage in perverted antics when playing games with her on stream. These fans are referred to as 45P or ShikoP.
Green-Eyed Monster: It's entirely played for laughs, but Miko becomes noticeably jealous of Mikodanye — a mascot version of herself most known for her appearances at the Holoexpo events — when she starts reaching similar levels of popularity to her own. It's best seen when the two appear onstage together on the Baby Dance Live 4th Anniversary stream; Miko ends up being pushed into the background as everyone fawns over Mikodanye, and she throws a tantrum while (unsuccessfully) trying to get everyone's attention.
Miko: Miko is here! (jumping around behind everyone and waving her arms) Miko is here! Miko is here! Hey!
Polka: I can hear something!
(on cue, the stage lights go out, hiding all the girls but Mikodanye in the dark)
Miko: (distraught) WHYYYYYYY?! (Polka creases up laughing) EVERYONE!
His Name Really Is "Barkeep": A miko named "Miko".
Idiot Hair: Her character model has a noticeable strand sticking out of her head. According to a 20 Questions session with Luna and Marine, it's her favorite aspect about herself. When the chat asked her about the origin of her own ahoge, Miko put up a drammatic speech about how it grew out of the part of the brain that's the dumbest, essentially admitting herself to being a massive knucklehead in the process.
Q. What is Miko like?
—- Answered by fans:
[...]
A: A beautiful girl whose intelligence got sucked away by her cowlick.
-Official hololive website's Q&A about Sakura Miko
In-Series Nickname: Mikochi, a combination of her name and "-chi", a deliberate mispronunciation of the "-chan" honorific. Also doubles as an Affectionate Nickname, since many of her juniors would refer to her as this instead of "senpai".
Jaw Drop: Her first model has a triangle-shaped mouth expression during moments of Stunned Silence, which fans made into an emoticon ・△・ and was also the basis of her Grand Theft Auto Online crew emblem. Downplayed in that it's not over-the-top, but it's still rather distinctive. Her "2.0" model still has the triangle mouth expression (much to Miko and her fans' joy), but she has to do it deliberately.
Lady Swears-a-Lot: Drops FAQs like nobody's business, especially during her Grand Theft Auto V streams, though she significantly dialed back when transitioning to her third model. For example, there's her listening to Trevor's cutscenes:
Trevor: You motherfucking fuck! I grieved for you! You weren't even fucking dead! You were my best friend. Well, guess who's coming to shit on your doorstep, you fuck!
Miko: [Mostly repeating after Trevor] FAQ! [Beat] FAQing FAQ! MotherFAQing FAQ!
Maou the Demon King: The self-proclaimed Demon King of hololive JP's Minecraft server, with a big dark castle and a group of Four Heavenly Kings under her command, being Flare, Polka, Watame, and, ironically, Kanata. Haachama, upon visiting her castle, remarks that despite the intimidating aesthetic, Miko's true Nice Girl nature shines through the fact that the Lava Pits of the castle have glass covering over them to prevent anyone from falling in, saying that a true Demon Lord would have left the lava open or, even more treacherously, would have left holes in the glass for people to fall through.
Meaningful Name: She's a Miko that has a pink palette like cherry blossoms.
Miko: The clue is in the name. Admittedly, she has become considerably less miko-like as time goes on due to a combination of Art Evolution and her taking the brakes off of her childish antics. Her Shinto shrine-themed imagery seem to have been largely cast to one side as an Early-Installment Weirdness.
Modesty Shorts: Her December 2020 3D model features a pair, to avoid the Panty Shots that were so abundant with her previous model.
Netorare: According to her own profile sheet, Miko's personal weakness is "NTR😭". Her fellow members were in shock from the revelation, saying that they weren't expecting something so obscene as cuckolding to be the weakness of someone as childish as her.
Playful Cat Smile: Her casual outfit gives her this expression as an option.
Puni Plush: Her December 2020 model gives her a more rounded face compared to her older models, making her look a little younger. Pekora lampshades this by asking Miko if she "became more loli".
Ragdoll Physics: Her casual 3D model seems to possess rather...weird ragdolling issues.
Self-Insert Fic: On occasion, she'll turn her model around and turn herself into a self-insert for whatever's going on on-screen at the moment.
- Using the first person mode in Grand Theft Auto V, she puts herself in the driver's seat and pretends that she's on a "driving date" with her chat.
- In Uma Musume, she turns to look at a character that happens to be "looking" at Miko (read: coincidentally facing the corner of the screen Miko's in).
- She once took advantage of her avatar's rotation to make it look like she's smooching Haachama (among other things) while she was away from her desk.
- This became more prominent during her Assetto Corsa streams, where she turns her avatar around to make it look like she's driving the car of her choice while its cockpit is in view.
- When she reviews HoloMyth's New Year's outfits, she sees that Amelia has twintails now and can't resist turning herself around and kissing the picture of Ame.
Shout-Out:
- Her signature "Nyahallo!" greeting is a reference to Yui Yuigahama's "Yahello!", the anime adaptation of which has the same character artist as Miko's original model.
- The background shown in her casual outfit reveal is ripped straight from VR Dating Sim VR Kanojo. The full stream has her talking about how she picked it out herself.
Sideboob: Her first and second outfits both contain an opening where her arms are that show off her cleavage, revealing her to not be wearing a bra.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Miko may be the queen of this particular trope in Hololive, as 9/10 times if she's good friends with someone it'll devolve into this.
- With Pekora. If they meet on the same game, chances are they'll be at each other's throats and/or trying to out-prank each other.
- She also started having this dynamic with Coco after she made her own parody of AsaCoco called AsaMiko, with both shows taking very thinly veiled jabs at each other's hosts. The first time Coco got banned after AsaMiko started airing, Miko seized the opportunity to rub salt in the wound.
- Then there's her dynamic with Suisei in the MiComet pairing, being the understated comedian duo of the original generation. Like Pekora, Suisei is fond of pulling fast pranks on Miko, with the latter responding in kind.
- She's a good friend with Korone with the pair frequently referred to as Mikorone. Naturally this means if they're in a game with any kind of competitive aspect to it, things will quickly devolve into mutual sabotage and petty insults. Taken to its pinnacle when they competed in Getting Over It.
- Mikodanye is one of her biggest ones, whom she opposes for both taking over her YouTube and Twitter accounts on odd weeks of the year and out of jealousy at her getting her own fanbase that rivals her own. In particular, Miko gets (humorously) annoyed at the fans who go out of their way to tease her by saying they prefer her mascot counterpart.
Sorry, I'm Gay: When asked what type of men she is into, Miko replies that men are completely out of her field, though she can talk about what type of girls she is into.
Trademark Favorite Food: Taiyaki. It's one of the few things that remained to this day of her original character concept when she debuted.
Transplant: Originally an independent Vtuber under Cover Corp's Sakura Miko Project, she was later transferred to the Hololive brand around the debut time of GAMERS.
Two First Names: Both of her names can be used as given names for girls in Japan.
The Unintelligible: Became this after her official transfer to the main branch of Hololive as part of her character development, where Miko would often speak with a babyish lisp that became progressively more pronounced over the years, to the point that she's often joked to be the member with the weakest grasp of Japanese on that side of the company. Contrast her typical speaking voice with how she once spoke during her Miko no Tsutome days, before the Flanderization effect set in.
Vapor Wear: In all of her outfits besides her casual one, Sideboob shots reveal Miko to not be wearing a bra.
Verbal Tic:
- She tends to pronounce the syllable "ne" as a nasal "nye". Noticable enough that others tend to copy it when imitating her. She is also aware of it, as she even writes this way (にぇ) and at one point bemoaned how it makes it difficult for her to say Nene's name.
- She also tends to end sentences with "de" (で) where many women would instead say "wa" (わ).
Vitriolic Best Buds: With Pekora, to the point where their dynamic lasted long enough to get its own "I Am" Song, "PekoMiko Daisensou". As of 2022, she's also this for Suisei as part of their MiComet dynamic, where the two girls would be besties one moment, and then immediately try to throw each other under the bus the next.
Your Size May Vary: Miko has had multiple given heights in the past Depending on the Artist, ranging from 153, to 156 and 157cm. The official height chart◊ and her bio give her a definite value of being 152cm tall.

The Ace: At, of all things, GeoGuessr. AZKi's navigational skills mean she's capable of getting her answers accurate down to the meter. It even extends to locations in countries she has never visited before, much to the bafflements of her collab partners who actually hailed from there like Bae (Australia), Kiara (Austria), Ollie (Indonesia) and Calli (United States).
The Ageless: Claims to be forever 18 years-old. When interviewed by Kiara in Holotalk, she also adds that she's on Season 3, which is suspsciously similar to Marine's claim of being "17 season 3" on her birthday not even days prior to the Holotalk episode; something Kiara pokes fun at.
Kiara: Uh, that seems familiar...
But Now I Must Go: Ultimately Subverted. The AZKi project was originally planned to end in July 2022 with AZKi's graduation, but with the newfound support she has received from her fans, it was decided in mid-2021 that the project would go on to "change routes" and continue on beyond the original end goal. This was cemented with AZKi moving into hololive officially, joining the "0th Generation" on April 1st 2022, ahead of INoNaKa Music's cessation of operation later that month.
Character Catchphrase: "Ping-Pong-Pang-Pong", which AZKi often recites before or after giving an announcement, in reference to a jingle frequently used in Japanese intercom messages.
Costume Evolution: On February 23, 2021, she debuted her third outfit and hairstyle which gives her a more "idol" look as opposed to her usual "virtual diva" appearance. While she doesn't primarily use the second model since her redesign, it's also been updated to look visually consistent with her new look on the occasions she wears it.
The Diva: Unlike the others, she's marketed as a "Virtual Diva" and as such, she has some of the stylings (more sensual and provocative). Her personality doesn't fit the typical expectation, however, being a soft-spoken Nice Girl instead.
Evil Twin: Has one that debuted in this music video, which takes the form of her classic design, but with a darker color-scheme and Supernatural Gold Eyes.
Facial Markings: A constant with her designs is those thick red stripes beneath her eyes. Her third design still keeps them but they are much smaller and under the corner of her eyes. She noticeably sheds them the moment she reveals during her 7th live concert that she has diverged from her original path (which was to graduate in July 2022) and is on her way to a new future thanks to all the support she received.
Fashionable Asymmetry: Her fourth outfit comes with literally half of a jacket that is worn on her left side. Her outer skirt is also split into two halves that come in different colours.
Fun Size: After getting her third outfit, she later got a chibi model she occasionally brings out during pre- or post-concert. Her concert with Mizushina Aoi shows that she is tiny when assuming this form.
Idol Singer: One of hololive's original idols, having been there since the start working under Inonaka Music. She's more committed to it than fellow singers Sora and Suisei, given that her channel has minimal Let's Play content and has the highest number of 3D concerts. She has since picked up gaming after her first gaming stream alongside Sora and has even expanded into different genres as time went on, such as appearing in (but not streaming) Rust as the Holoserver's premier NPC in 2022 and doing multiple consecutive streams of GeoGuessr in 2023 after getting addicted to it.
Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Hosted a 48-hour music program twice with videos from hundreds of VTubers. Playlists of the first and second events.
Meaningful Name: The meaning of her name can be traced back to her first album's flagship song, "without U". AZKi, when pronounced in katakana, becomes "Azuki" (which means "red beans" in Japanese and goes with her theme), but "AZKi" does not contain the "u" letter, hence the album's name. She then reveals in her Holotalk session with Kiara that the reverse is also true; in other words, "Azuki" without "u" becomes "AZKi".
The Navigator: She has been interested in travelling and map-reading since her youth, which translates into her regularly getting perfect scores in GeoGuessr with extremely low margins of error. Her pinpointing skills are so great that she essentially showed Bae, an Australian, the way around Australia, a country AZKi never visited.
Stripperific: Her first and second outfits showcase quite a lot of skin. The latter, while technically covered up the most due to her large trench coat, is particularly egregious in how AZKi appears almost naked without it.
Transplant: Like Miko and Suisei before her, AZKi was originally introduced as part of a separate project from Hololive proper, before being transferred in as a conventional idol. Hers was INoNaKa Music, which Suisei also used to be part of before her own transplanting into Hololive occurred, leaving AZKi as the label's sole remaining member until April 2022, where she too was folded into Gen 0 as an official member.
Tamer and Chaster: Her more "idol-like" outfit and redesign, in contrast to her two other "diva-like" outfits, is comparatively more modest in design. Her fourth design is even more conservatively dressed, even after removing the half-jacket over her white dress.
Uniformity Exception: Unlike every other talent's live concert outfit, which is predominantly white with a side colour representing their theme, AZKi's is predominantly black while keeping the same overall design. This is a reference to the fact that AZKi was affiliated to INoNaKa Music rather than the main hololive branch until the merge in December 2019.
