Career
Era Otogibara made her YouTube debut as a member of Nijisanji on March 10, 2019. Her activity started in March 2019, and she went on to become one of the more prominent female members of the agency during her time there. Along with her main YouTube channel, she kept channels on the Chinese video platform bilibili and on the Japanese streaming services TwitCasting and OPENREC.
During her career she was part of a unit called petit fleurs. She also appeared in PUCHISANJI, a series of short animated videos featuring Nijisanji members. Her episodes included one about street harassment and one in which she faced serious gamers.
Her graduation from Nijisanji was announced for March 2021, and her activity ended on March 10, 2021, exactly two years after her debut. The petit fleurs unit ended its activities after she left the agency.
Activities
Streaming style
Her streams were mostly free talk and video games, all in Japanese. In her early broadcasts she came across as a reserved, shy character. Over time her on-stream manner changed a great deal and became much more outspoken. Viewers came to treat these as two separate personas: the original "Era" and the later "Gibara."
As a running joke, fans blamed the change on fellow Nijisanji member Suzuhara Lulu. In this fan story, "Gibara" took over from the original "Era" after the two collaborated. The joke became a well-known part of how her character was discussed in the community.

Characteristics
Her character design has long, fluffy orange hair with a single braid down her back, and blue eyes. "Gibara," her best-known nickname, comes from the second half of her family name. Fans often used it for her more outspoken side, while "Era-chan" was used for her original, gentler image. Her character settings list her height as 155 cm and her zodiac sign as Leo. Her outfit, including a hat, headband and bow tie, has been recreated as cosplay costumes.
