Career

His generation, known as "SunTempo", also includes Kishido Temma and Yukoku Roberu.

On 4 April 2020, he released his first cover song, "Kami no Manimani" (At God's Mercy), sung together with fellow Holostars member Kanade Izuru. In 2020 he also entered an Apex Legends tournament organized by Shibuya HAL with Kagami Kira and Kanade Izuru, where the team placed 5th out of 20 and he ranked 4th among all players in kill count and in total damage dealt.

In 2021 he took part in a series of Apex Legends competitions, including the Reignite Cup with Bosna and Nagao Kei, a Shibuya HAL custom match with Bosna and Takatsuki Ritsu in which the team finished 2nd, a Crazy Raccoon Cup with k4sen and Hanjyou, and the Cypher Cup Festival as team "HOLOSTARS" with Kishido Temma and Kanade Izuru. On 17 April 2022, he joined the fourth edition of Shibuya HAL's "VTuber Most Cooperative Tournament" with Ryugasaki Rene and Tenjin Kotone, and he later competed in the fifth edition as team "Starry Sky Magic" with Asumi Sena and Ars Almal. He also appeared at Vtuber Fes Japan 2023 and was invited to the VCR Rust community event.

Activities

Streaming style

His content centers on gaming and music. He regularly streams Apex Legends and, more recently, League of Legends, alongside karaoke streams that accept song requests. He is known for long broadcasts; one singing stream lasted around ten hours, although its archive was removed because of copyrighted material. He is a fan of Disney and frequently sang songs from its animated films, a habit he stopped after receiving copyright strikes.

Characteristics

His official profile describes him as a self-indulgent, childish yet cute boy idol who laughs a lot with his friends, whose past is unclear and who has little knowledge of the world; he is sometimes seen staring at the sky with a determined grin. His lore presents him as a member of an alien race called the Nephlomachio whose ship crashed on Earth, after which he joined Holostars to hide from his enemies and search for his crewmates. His design features aqua eyes and short, wavy blue hair with blonde streaks, and his strong singing voice has earned him the nickname "Disney Prince" among viewers.
