Career

Shiina Yuika created her YouTube channel on July 27, 2018, and her X (formerly Twitter) account went live the same month. She made her YouTube debut on August 1, 2018, with a short self-introduction video. She joined NIJISANJI Gamers as part of its third batch with Kuzuha, Makaino Ririmu and Setsuna. After Setsuna left the agency, the remaining three members became known as "ZuShiRi." NIJISANJI Gamers was later disbanded and merged into the main NIJISANJI group, so she is now listed simply as a NIJISANJI member.

Her channel reached 10,000 subscribers within a few days of her debut, and it kept passing milestones through late 2018 and into 2019. On December 8, 2019, she performed at the concert event "Virtual to LIVE in Ryogoku Kokugikan 2019." On February 26, 2020, she appeared at the Zepp Nagoya stop of the concert tour "NIJISANJI JAPAN TOUR 2020 Shout in the Rainbow!" Over the years she has also taken part in other concerts, collaborations and gaming tournaments. Besides YouTube, she has had channels on platforms such as bilibili, TwitCasting, niconico, OPENREC.tv and Mirrativ.

She has also played Dragon Quest Builders, Splatoon, Minecraft, Pokémon and Mario Kart. She often collaborated with other VTubers in PUBG. Early in her career she also hosted a talk show called "Shiraji," where she interviewed VTubers from across Japan about their experiences and opinions. When her channel reached 20,000 subscribers, she celebrated by releasing her first song cover.

She often collaborates with Sasaki Saku, a fellow NIJISANJI member she was friends with before her debut. Fans call the pair "SakuYui," and she appeared often in Sasaki's gaming streams. Fans call her pairing with Takamiya Rion "ShiiRii."

Characteristics

Her official profile describes her as a high school student who loves games, speaks Kansai dialect and is secretly a psychic. Because she is easygoing and pays little attention to her surroundings, she is often possessed by various ghosts, which take over her body. Her character design has white hair with a slight pink gradient toward the ends. It looks like an asymmetrical bob but is actually long and tied behind her back with a red ribbon. She also has pink eyes and wears a dark hairpin shaped like a small smiling figure with arms. Her outfit is a school uniform with a cream-colored cardigan, a red neck ribbon and a plaid red skirt. Because of her round face and pink eyes, some viewers call her a "strawberry daifuku." Her designer, Kamioka Chirol, also designed Nekomata Okayu of hololive.
