| 30 | [[folder:GAMERS as a Whole]] |
| 31 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hololive_gamers_logo.png]] |
| 32 | [[caption-width-right:320:Logo]] |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * AliceAllusion: The group's 2023 outfits all have the ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' theme with Mio having the [[https://youtu.be/CN1n-J5dqQE queen's outfit]], Okayu having the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYAS2pCUfZY Cheshire Cat outfit]], and [[https://youtu.be/25f9IXy-MRg Korone having the Alice outfit]]. |
| 35 | * ArtifactTitle: As its name suggests, GAMERS was intended to be a subgroup of {{Gamer Chick}}s 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. |
| 36 | * ColorFailure: All four members undergo it in the two [[https://youtu.be/yl1fE9EGG9w Valentine's]] [[https://youtu.be/snxG0-Paplw Day]] skits with Marine, when they "die" from eating the Valentine's Day chocolate [[WeaksauceWeakness that they're all deadly-allergic to]]. Of course, it's all played for ([[BlackComedy rather dark]]) laughs. |
| 37 | -->'''Marine:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why're all the Gamers such a pain in the ass?!]] |
| 38 | * EdibleThemeNaming: 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. |
| 39 | * GamerChick: All four of them love video games and many of their videos are devoted to playing them. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It's in the unit's name, after all.]] |
| 40 | * LittleBitBeastly: All of them are mostly humanoid girls with animal ears and tails. |
| 41 | * MixedAnimalSpeciesTeam: The unit consists of: Fubuki (a [[AsianFoxSpirit fox girl]]), Mio (a [[WolfWoman wolf girl]]), Okayu (a {{cat girl}}), and Korone (a [[LittleBitBeastly dog girl]]). |
| 42 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: 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. |
| 43 | * SixthRanger: 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]]An acronym of their given names: '''O'''kayu, '''K'''orone, '''F'''ubuki, '''A'''yame, '''M'''io, '''S'''ubaru[[/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). |
| 44 | * SpeciesSurname: All of them but Fubuki (who predates the rest of the unit) have surnames that refer to their species. |
| 45 | * ThemeNaming: 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: |
| 46 | ** Mio '''Ookami''' (大神) - consists of the kanjis for "big/great" and "god", though it can also be read as wolf. |
| 47 | ** Okayu '''Nekomata''' (猫又) - same kanjis as the mythological creature of the [[BakenekoAndNekomata same name]]. |
| 48 | ** Korone '''Inugami''' (戌神) - consists of the kanjis for "dog (zodiac)", and once again, "god". |
| 49 | ** 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". |
| 50 | * WeaksauceWeakness: 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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snxG0-Paplw skit with Marine]] is to be believed. |

| 89 | A black-haired [[WolfWoman wolf girl]] who appeared out of nowhere. Some say she can frequently be seen at shinto shrines. Oh, and she loves video games. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | ---- |
| 92 | * AfraidOfNeedles: As much of a headstrong person she is, Mio is a big chicken when it comes to injections, even making [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4VbqxfhHVU a rap number about her dislikes for them]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o88bKHvgboM 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. |
| 93 | * AnimalMotifs: Wolves. |
| 94 | * BeYourself: 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. |
| 95 | * BigDamnHeroes: When Fubuki finds herself in trouble against a stigmatized ayakashi in ''Manga/HoloearthChroniclesSideEYamatoPhantasia'', Mio suddenly comes in and tosses over Fubuki's katana, [[NamedWeapons Murasamemaru]], which quickly swings the battle in Fubuki's favor. |
| 96 | * BornLucky: As [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWVt3CBxQ64 Fubuki discovers]], Mio has an ''insane'' amount of luck when they play Yacht Dice together. Fubuki was even asking if she was cheating. |
| 97 | * CarnivoreConfusion: PlayedForLaughs: |
| 98 | ** Her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGXdneuHLgc New Year's resolution]] for 2020 was simply to not eat the then-newly debuted Watame... while telling Watame to wash up before they meet. |
| 99 | ** During a loli stream, [[https://youtu.be/pjvqltkBKPs?t=131 she reacts with anger and doubt]] when "Future Mio" says she ate Okayu... until being told that it's okay because [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman Okayu's a cat, not a human]]. The next words out of Mio's mouth are asking which part was the most delicious. |
| 100 | * CharacterCatchphrase: 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!" |
| 101 | * CatsAreSuperior: Her pet cat Taiga [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_NqRABWzcU doesn't respect her at all.]] |
| 102 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Fubuki. The two knew one another in school, and [[https://youtu.be/YFnVcyfVcjc Fubuki pulled Mio into hololive.]] |
| 103 | * CuteClumsyGirl: Mio certainly has her moments, such as during her [[https://youtu.be/u58c1lDGIL0 Spiritual ASMR]], where she drops things, sneezes, and is generally bothered by background noise at several points during the stream. |
| 104 | * ElementalPunch: Casts a [[PlayingWithFire flaming]] punch spell in ''Manga/HoloearthChroniclesSideEYamatoPhantasia''. |
| 105 | * FortuneTeller: Performs [[UsefulNotes/TarotCards tarot readings]] for her colleagues from time to time. |
| 106 | * TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: [[https://youtu.be/Q2bYxQoYjRw?t=303 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. |
| 107 | * GoingCommando: Goes to sleep without underwear on since her grandmother taught her that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IMt81J4QAA not wearing panties is healthier.]] |
| 108 | * GuardianEntity: Is occasionally seen with Hatotaurus, a minotaur-like [[HybridMonster creature]] with a pigeon's head, horns, and a wolf's tail. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNv5UziZHII Originally "created" by Fubuki]], Fubuki described it as "[[WorldsStrongestMan the strongest]]". In its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCU3x4s9qVY&t=872 animated debut video]], Mio even remarks that "It's like a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Stand]]". |
| 109 | * GuestFighter: Mio is one of the six members chosen to represent hololive during a 2019 collaboration event with ''VideoGame/AzurLane'', taking on the role of Aircraft Carrier gameplay-wise. |
| 110 | * TheHost: Often takes this role for bigger collab streams with everyone else bouncing off her StraightMan tendencies. |
| 111 | * TheHyena: 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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH5dnBu73do aggravating her cough]]. |
| 112 | * InsistentTerminology: [[https://youtu.be/_3vvvz2r-MM?t=122 Insists]] that she's a wolfman, not a werewolf. |
| 113 | * LanguageBarrier: 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. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chWRd0JKTvo 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]]She would later be in ''Holotalk'' hosted by Kiara due to Kiara's Japanese making Mio's inability to speak English fluently a non-issue.[[/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. |
| 114 | * NotWhatISignedOnFor: She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP1t-FV2Rnc 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. |
| 115 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: 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. |
| 116 | * PrecisionFStrike: How Mio introduces herself in English, courtesy of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUbfKI8sMLE Coco's English lesson.]] |
| 117 | -->'''Mio:''' I'm Mio, facking cute wolf! |
| 118 | * PunnyName: Her family name uses the exact same pun as in ''{{VideoGame/Okami}}'', 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. |
| 119 | * PutOnABus: |
| 120 | ** Went on [[https://twitter.com/ookamimio/status/1288727184849293312 hiatus]] from late July to [[https://twitter.com/ookamimio/status/1301822675841462273 early September 2020]] because Capcom copyright-striked her ''Videogame/GhostTrick'' 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. |
| 121 | ** Mio's Twitter account was restricted from Christmas 2020 onward and then [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/ktsexy/mio_got_banned_on_twitter_last_night/ banned for a few days]] in early January 2021 before ultimately being restored. Her ban was merely [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/kvyj2p/mios_twitter_account_is_back/gj17x4q/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 a mistake with Twitter's bot detection]] brought on by Mio posting too often about hololive's Christmas karaoke relay. |
| 122 | * ShoutOut: Her whole design is pretty reminiscent of Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill. |
| 123 | * SimplifiedSpellcasting: In ''Manga/HoloearthChroniclesSideEYamatoPhantasia'' chapter 0, Mio just shouts the first verse of her fire punch spell to get it working. |
| 124 | --> '''Mio:''' By the heavenly pillars, the spirits from all corners... Uh... Insert rest of spell! Full Power! '''FLAMING PUNCH!''' |
| 125 | * StraightMan: As a result of being the TeamMom, Mio typically has this role, especially in the animated shorts where the others are even crazier. |
| 126 | * StupidSexyFlanders: |
| 127 | ** When Towa discusses her performance in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7xbaX1s0sk a stream following]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuOJhtBC7R4 her 2021 3D birthday party]], she [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB9n413x2TI ends up fawning over Mio's provocative pose]] during their "Suspect" performance and agrees with the chat that it was all sorts of erotic. |
| 128 | --->'''Towa:''' Isn't this a crime? |
| 129 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsx13r6yK5A Okayu was similarly surprised]] with how sexy she found Mio in that performance as she usually finds Mio cute. |
| 130 | * TeamMom: She is seen as the most motherly and the "big sister" of all the cast, regardless of seniority and age: |
| 131 | ** According to other hololive members, she frequently breaks up fights and is the one keeping the peace during "offline collabs" (IRL meet-ups). |
| 132 | ** During a formal vote of who would make the best mother, she was at the top. |
| 133 | ** In ''[=AsaCoco=]'' - April 20th, 2020's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2di61BNqMek&t=600 faux interview]] segment, her given [[BossSubtitles title]] was "Overseeing Mama of hololive" (ホロライブを見守るママ). |
| 134 | ** 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 TeamMom with Lamy. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dUg8BoS8dg She doesn't take the news well.]] |
| 135 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCbYAHmFyUM 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. |
| 136 | * TraumaButton: In ''Manga/HoloearthChroniclesSideEYamatoPhantasia'', 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... ''[[NothingIsScarier 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. |
| 137 | * VomitIndiscretionShot: Downplayed since you won't exactly see what's happening behind her avatar, but she has her moments. |
| 138 | ** During a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z544dcSnBeA 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". |
| 139 | ** During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFORog9GSN8 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. |
| 140 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmUVwNut2-Y During the second-anniversary stream since her debut]], Mio audibly throw up while singing Creator/NanaMizuki's [[VisualNovel/WhiteAlbum "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. |
| 141 | --->'''Fubuki:''' Don't worry, Mio. The floor is covered with snow and the cake is white, so nobody can tell. ''[Laughs]''\ |
| 142 | '''Mio:''' That makes it even more obvious! Everyone can tell the difference! |
| 143 | * WolfMan: She mentioned on multiple occasions that she's a wolfman (狼人間, lit. wolf-human). One time during a ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons'' stream, after [[https://youtu.be/_3vvvz2r-MM?t=29 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. |
| 144 | * YokoOhNo: PlayedForLaughs 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'' [[ClingyJealousGirl take the news well]]. |

| 188 | * BakenekoAndNekomata: An unusual example in that despite [[https://youtu.be/glDyGIQt_Og?t=172 calling herself a nekomata]], she is only ever seen with a single tail [[note]]The defining characteristic of a nekomata traditionally is having ''two'' or more tails.[[/note]]. |
| 189 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She's known for being extremely calm both in and out of hololive, which makes it all the more notable on the rare occasions she ''isn't''. |
| 190 | ** She's a big fan of Moustafa in ''VideoGame/PaperMario''. When she prompts Goombario to say something about Moustafa using his "Tattle" ability, Goombario comments that he [[ExpectingSomeoneTaller "expected someone a lot cooler"]]. [[https://youtu.be/zPIEPKehONM?t=97 Okayu ends up yelling at him in response.]] |
| 191 | ** She gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6qaWw-lAW0 oddly heated]] during her stream of ''VideoGame/{{Slitherio}}'', using a lot of {{Kiai}}, TrrrillingRrrs, and yelling whenever another player defeats her (or comes close to it). She insists that that's not the real her and pleads with her chat to help save her from herself. [[https://youtu.be/xM6x4yX-Sk4?t=34 One piece of fanart]] depicted this moment as Okayu physically trying to stop angry Okayu (drawn with a [[Anime/YuGiOh Dark Marik]]-like face). |
| 192 | * BigEater: [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j6P_m6adkgc Her own]] ImageSong is an OdeToFood about how she'll stuff her face with all sorts of stuff, like mille-feuille sandwiches, onigiri, pizza, and cake. |
| 193 | * BlindedByTheLight: One of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMAyQAiv8MQ anime shorts]] show that Okayu can shine bright lights from her eyes. |
| 194 | * CallARabbitASmeerp: She's a domesticated cat girl named after the ancient Japanese cat youkai. |
| 195 | * CasualKink: In a stream [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeIwemqcZhE with Shion]] Okayu very quickly answers she's a masochist, catching the other idol off-guard due to the timely response and thinking she was a sadist. |
| 196 | * CatDogDichotomy: With Korone, naturally. |
| 197 | * CatGirl: She has the ears and tail, and many note that her detached, aloof, and cool personality is like an actual cat. |
| 198 | * TheCharmer: Relationship with Korone aside, she's got: |
| 199 | ** Aqua [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU2FQkUSxCs insisting]] that Okayu is hers. |
| 200 | ** Shion [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJrfdHCA34U arguing]] (then negotiating) with Korone over the cat. |
| 201 | ** Okayu herself [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osdlNpWe2iw claiming]] that Subaru's perfect partner is her so nobody else should bother trying. |
| 202 | ** Okayu's cover of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP08-jP1-7Y Otome Kaibou]]" even has the former three pop up in reference to Okayu's reputation and some brief RedStringOfFate imagery. |
| 203 | * ChickMagnet: She has had quite a few other idols (Korone, Shion, Aqua) voice interest in her. |
| 204 | * ChildhoodFriends: She's mentioned [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtj2vN30d1k Devil-chan]] who teased Okayu and possibly developed her masochism. She only acted that way in front of Okayu so [[CassandraTruth no one believed her about the teasing]]. |
| 205 | * CovertPervert: Her appearance on Coco's Shitpost Review shows a rather ecchi side. Happily saying "I'm horny!" after learning what it means, and a discussion on waifus leads to calling herself "Nekomata Okazu" ('okazu' meaning "fap material" in the context of the discussion). She even repeats the joke in one of Subaru's streams. |
| 206 | * CuteClumsyGirl: Okayu's grandmother and home economic classmates [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvH9UGFT3H8 didn't really trust her to cook]] and Commuter Wife asked Okayu to sit back and talk while she constructed Okayu's furniture. |
| 207 | * CuteLittleFangs: Naturally, one shows up when her mouth is fully opened. She's a cat after all. |
| 208 | * DidTheyOrDidntThey: Okayu mentioned in one stream that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uutzeNeYVHs she kisses Korone whenever she gets the urge to kiss someone.]] A follow-up question during a collab stream with her and Korone asked [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkuSd7tHM-M if they had ever gone beyond kissing.]] Both hinted that they had gone further, but ultimately decided they shouldn't answer and leave it to everyone's imagination. |
| 209 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Sparkling exotic eyes at that. |
| 210 | * {{Fangirl}}: |
| 211 | ** She revealed during an August 2021 singing stream that she's a Subatomo. |
| 212 | ** She also admitted to being a "secret" Gura fan. Having a Gura picture as her computer background. When Gura friended her on Discord in January 2022, Okayu squeed when talking about it. |
| 213 | ** Okayu is also a huge fan of the popular [=YouTuber=] [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZf__ehlCEBPop-_sldpBUQ Hikakin]], one of Japan's pioneer content creators. Upon receiving [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BLPPOa3zl8 Hikakin's congratulations on her third anniversary]], Okayu [[{{Squee}} completely lost control of her emotions and screamed in joy the whole time]], which she did again [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OgngshNM-c when he left a Superchat in one of her subsequent talk streams.]] |
| 214 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Typically wears her sweatpants with one leg partially rolled up. |
| 215 | * FilchingFoodForFun: Has been known to pilfer snacks. Fubuki still brings up how Okayu steals her rice balls every now and then. |
| 216 | * FunWithAcronyms: She prefers reading off the group name SMOK [[note]]Subaru, Mio, Okayu, Korone[[/note]] as "SM OK" and [[https://youtu.be/iLkJ_OSXOFU?t=405 calls the others traitors]] for pronouncing it as "smoke". |
| 217 | * FurryConfusion: She's a CatGirl that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXx4IDYn-mQ keeps a pet cat]] named Temari. Some members of her chat lampshaded the announcement by declaring Okayu Temari's mother. Amusingly, Temari has proven to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGgafqZzY2o just as mischievous as her owner]], even stealing snacks from her at one point. |
| 218 | * TheGadfly: She really likes to tease others to mess around with them in good fun, probably [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNETnR66tBE most prominently shown here]]. |
| 219 | * GoingCommando: Her casual outfit clearly doesn't have any pants or underwear on. |
| 220 | * HasAType: She's confessed that she likes cold, aloof men, citing that she doesn't mind if they're mean to her because she's quite nice to herself. It was later played for laughs when, during a certain playthrough of hers, a chat member assumed her type was "shy, gentle, and with broad shoulders". |
| 221 | -->'''Okayu:''' This is about [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong64 Chunky]], isn't it? |
| 222 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Korone. It helps that the two knew each other before joining hololive. |
| 223 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AAsLH8DZuk Okayu has gone to admitting that she no longer uses Twitter as much]] due to texting Korone over LINE almost constantly about her daily life, to the point that she refers to the latter as her own personal diary. |
| 224 | ** In an effort to be more open about the differences between how she acts off-stream and on-stream, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKS5mIbJSqs she admits that off-stream between her and Korone, she's actually the more clingy and needy of the two.]] She also says that in most collabs, Korone acting like the more needy one is something she does for entertainment. |
| 225 | * HiddenBuxom: Okayu's costumes are usually conservative and boyish, hiding her rather sizable bust. Not so much with her July 2021 outfit, which features a simple white shirt and a removable jacket that do little to hide her shapely chest. Her Cheshire Cat outfit averts this, as her sizable bust is clearly visible with such an outfit. |
| 226 | * HollywoodHacking: Not Okayu herself, but when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdXp2R2wW_w someone in her chat]] during a ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' stream directs her precisely to a diamond vein, she starts thinking someone's hacking her computer. The more likely explanation is that someone probably reverse-engineered her world's seed ([[UsefulNotes/RandomNumberGenerator random number generators]] are, despite the name, never truly random) or probably just jotted it down from the game's debug screen (the most common method of obtaining the player's own coordinates). |
| 227 | * HypocriticalHumor: Okayu once got really mad when her onigiri gets eaten, which is quite rich, given her food-snatching tendencies. |
| 228 | * IncompatibleOrientation: PlayedForLaughs. She tells Aqua that she joined an NSFW call with Marine because she felt the pirate could better draw out the masochistic side of her that Aqua could not due to also being a masochist.[[note]]Marine is a ''huge'' masochist herself, something's she's made known more than a few times.[[/note]] Aqua hurriedly insists she could change out of jealousy and desperation. |
| 229 | * InstitutionalApparel: Has a fair amount of fanart of her as a prisoner after being judged guilty of taking snacks and leading on the other girls. This in turn led to her fans being portrayed as imprisoned rice balls wearing prison stripes when Okayu declared that her sins are the Onigiryaa's sins. |
| 230 | * KryptoniteFactor: It's nigh impossible to break her cool and collected demeanor, but if spicy food is in play then even [[ButtMonkey Subaru]] can get her on the backfoot and keep her there. |
| 231 | * LoanShark: As the co-owner of Neko Neko Finyance, she and Fubuki made a business out of loaning out diamonds in ''Minecraft'' to other hololive members for use in festival gambling and other activities at a 10% interest rate. Failure to repay their debts will result in the debtors being sent to Neko Neko Island for some comical torment at the whims of Okayu and co., which tends to happen rather frequently due to the other members' natural tendency to gamble themselves into destitution, courtesy of the rigged venues and their own bad luck. |
| 232 | * LostFoodGrievance: Uses this to psych [[https://youtu.be/lZg9_bdLCCU her angry face up.]] Rather [[HypocriticalHumor hypocritical]] given her own food-snatching tendencies. |
| 233 | -->'''Okayu:''' They ate my onigiri, they ate my onigiri, they ate my onigiri, THEY ATE MY ONIGIRI. ThisIsUnforgivable |
| 234 | * MeanCharacterNiceActor: While her prankster nature is well-known, some of the other members have nothing, but kind words about how nice she is behind the scenes: |
| 235 | ** Rushia [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIVWAuJOfn4 showed up as a witness]] in Okayu's Christmas 2019 trial to defend her and talk about how much of a caring senpai Okayu is. |
| 236 | ** Okayu ''wants'' to cultivate a cool, mysterious image, but she's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVr72obGmf0 embarrassed to admit]] the hololive staff know that she's extremely quick and reliable in answering text messages. |
| 237 | ** During a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUXrP00dXqk meme review]], Coco saw two memes about Okayu [[TheDogWasTheMastermind being the hidden mastermind]] in a JRPG and leaving everyone else behind as the SoleSurvivor in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2''; she took a moment to say that while she understood, she also felt a little confused over everyone's perception of Okayu because she thought of her as the epitome of JapanesePoliteness and hospitality. |
| 238 | ** Mio has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mumqKnZ_3j0 mentioned]] how Okayu always knows just the right words to say when giving advice. |
| 239 | ** She has a bit of a reputation for being a good host, who's had a number of Hololive and even Nijisanji members hang out in her house at one point or another. According to her, it's because Subaru [[DropInCharacter comes over all the time just to mess around]], and Subaru almost always has a friend or two with her. |
| 240 | * MeaningfulName: "Nekomata" for... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin well, the]] ''[[BakenekoAndNekomata nekomata]]'', and "Okayu" for "rice porridge", a reference to rice balls being her TrademarkFavoriteFood. |
| 241 | * MellowFellow: Okayu is usually calm and easygoing, even when playing games like ''VideoGame/GettingOverItWithBennettFoddy'' or ''VideoGame/JumpKing'' where she'll just laugh off falling and losing progress. |
| 242 | * MustHaveCaffeine: In order to keep herself at least modestly awake, Okayu takes to drinking Creator/RedBull in shot glasses. |
| 243 | * NotSoStoic: |
| 244 | ** While typically portrayed as the cool and collected type, at the end of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening Link's Awakening]]'' when she [[spoiler:witnesses the island and its inhabitants disappear when Link awakens]]. She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlewcEHTRak gradually loses it]]. |
| 245 | ** On the rare occasions where she [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpdAl3nxUtk plays horror games]], she ScreamsLikeALittleGirl (sometimes at nothing in particular) and even Korone can't help but laugh at how cute she is when she's scared. |
| 246 | ** She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWn9I8MxA5w gets embarrassed]] during her ''VideoGame/CoffeeTalk'' stream when the characters casually discuss sex and notes that when lewd topics come up, she's usually either aware in advance and able to prepare herself mentally or she's quick to play off a reaction for comedy's sake. |
| 247 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77eZH3N2xBY During her 3rd anniversary stream]], she belts out a surprising ear-piercing scream when [[https://youtu.be/77eZH3N2xBY?t=3569 she receives a video-message from Hikakin]], who's considered one of the biggest [=YouTubers=] in Japan. It takes half the duration of Hikakin's video for Okayu to regain her composure, but in the meanwhile, she's repeatedly [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl throwing out high-pitched screams]]. |
| 248 | * NotWhatISignedOnFor: Long after hololive's first live concert, Okayu [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFY77_wcCM4 revealed]] that she joined hololive specifically to get into GAMERS and... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin play games]]. As more and more people joined hololive, she had a brief period of time where she thought she didn't have enough talent as an idol - a completely unnecessary worry, in hindsight, as her singles and concerts afterwards can attest to. |
| 249 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Discussed. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SruYoYQisg During a chat stream]], she mentioned that she considers herself 16 years old in human years because she looks 16 appearance-wise. She then mentioned that if she was 16 years old in cat years, she would be mentally an elderly cat, but immediately denied that this is the case as she asserts that she's simply an "adult cat". |
| 250 | * PerpetualSmiler: Her default expression is a PlayfulCatSmile. It only ever changes when she plays horror games or someone [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZg9_bdLCCU asks her]] to change it. |
| 251 | * PlayfulCatSmile: Being a Nekomata, she sports one at all times. |
| 252 | * ThePrankster: To the point that hololive made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acNUes3ZV_A compilation video]] of her antics. Some of her many, ''many'' mischievous misdeeds include: |
| 253 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI45TTeIkgE Sniping fish]] from the rest of OKFAMS in ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons''. |
| 254 | ** Editing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLUtKSlD8Kc Mio's waiting screen]] to see if anyone could tell the difference. |
| 255 | ** Getting into an NSFW call with Marine for Aqua to come across during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYkR4IIWhjA her stream to make Okayu fall in love with her]]. |
| 256 | ** She's more than once seen through Aqua's traps for her and managed to completely reverse the situation so Aqua becomes the victim. |
| 257 | * ReadTheFinePrint: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpk2e7rt8cc The Onigiryaa bear Okayu's sins]] due to some very fine text in the bottom left corner of the Onigiryaa contract. |
| 258 | * RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Korone's red. |
| 259 | * RoundHippieShades: One of her avatar's accessories is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGeP8I8d5yk a black pair of these]]. To her amusement, said shades give Korone the creeps. Okayu also humorously acts in a manner she thinks someone wearing CoolShades would behave, often in a suave, laid-back manner (or, [[https://youtu.be/ZpjOZrbW4Eo?t=81 on one occasion]], talking like a {{Japanese Delinquent|s}}). |
| 260 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: She's capable of some high-pitched screaming uncharacteristic of her tomboy-esque voice and demeanor, especially when a horror game is involved. Korone [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpdAl3nxUtk witnessed this firsthand]] when they played ''Escape the Ayuwoki'' together, and she even quipped that "Okayu's cute when scared" at one point. |
| 261 | * SelfDestructMechanism: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gdufz0WzsI If someone yanks on her tail, she will go nuclear]]. |
| 262 | * SexyShirtSwitch: Her Casual outfit invokes the image with Okayu only wearing a dress shirt, slippers, a jacket if she feels like it, and no pants; the dress shirt is presumably her own, but her slippers are Korone's. |
| 263 | * ShamelessFanserviceGirl: As part of her [[CovertPervert "Nekomata Okazu"]] gag, she at times engages in some {{fanservice}} with sometimes shows shades of this. |
| 264 | ** [[https://youtu.be/tyuTEsN2vBY In response to a comment apologizing for staring at her cleavage]], she encouraged them to look anyways, claiming that she would've button up her cleavage if she didn't approve to begin with. |
| 265 | ** [[https://youtu.be/XCFJdp6oywQ Her idea]] of a "Paris Fashion Week" is a SchoolSwimsuit with a see-through jacket, which (according to Okayu) is the result of her not being bothered to carry anything else to a swimming pool other than the clothes on her back. |
| 266 | --->'''Okayu:''' "I wanna go to the swimming pool! But I don't wanna bring a lot of stuff... oh yeah!"\ |
| 267 | '''Marine:''' What do you mean by "Oh Yeah!", huh?! You're going home with wet clothes, huh?!\ |
| 268 | '''Lamy:''' You're not gonna change your clothes?\ |
| 269 | '''Okayu:''' Well, I'll figure it out. |
| 270 | * SignificantBirthDate: February 22nd is National Cat Day in Japan. |
| 271 | * SpoiledBrat: She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUB-3g2dpr4 cops to acting spoiled around Korone]] to get her way. |
| 272 | * StraightMan: Oftentimes acts like this for her zanier companions, but instead of expressing anger and disbelief, just casually stokes the fires for even more comedy. |
| 273 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Onigiri (Japanese rice balls). Her backstory has her living in an onigiri shop, she's talked many times about looking forward to eating onigiri, and her fans are even called the Onigiryaa. |
| 274 | * {{Troll}}: With how much she pranks other members, it comes with the territory. Notably, she managed to fool both Pekora ''and'' Subaru into firing out of a cannon into the sun in [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Whomp's Fortress]], leading to both of their deaths. |
| 275 | * VocalDissonance: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq6DEEejFYY Okayu once confessed]] that her voice when waking up after a long [=OkaKoro=] endurance stream can be very husky and far deeper than her usual tomboyish tone, akin to Towa's morning voice during one of Roboco's streams. She also admits that trying to talk like that is very difficult, so she can't reliably replicate that husky voice. |
| 276 | * VoiceChangeling: She can't exactly replicate the tone of other members' voices, but she's ''really'' good at copying their vocal patterns. When she [[https://youtu.be/A7xmBIz7_NQ impersonated Subaru's voice]], Subaru felt so embarrassed because the way Okayu did her voice is ''exactly'' the way she talks. |
| 277 | * WackyMarriageProposal: Her segment with Korone during [[https://www.youtube.com/live/DzP0jXgOC4I?si=MNNRzcb8NCE3VzDy hololive COUNTDOWN 2024]] ends with the two of them both proposing to each other with their own individual rings. ...Complete with the two [[ClothingSwitch wearing each other's outfits]]. |
| 278 | * {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs. She tried. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVAuXR4KQCU But she ended up sounding and looking cute instead which Korone pointed out]]. |
