Career

Tirol first worked as a "VLiver" on the live-streaming platform 17LIVE. She posted her first tweet on April 3, 2019, and debuted on YouTube on April 29, 2019, as an independent VTuber. In her early period she made ASMR content, song covers, cooking content, chatting streams and game streams of titles such as Pokémon Sword and Shield and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

On January 26, 2021, 774 inc. announced Tirol as a new member of its AniMare group, alongside Oura Rukako and Konan Mia. Like one earlier AniMare member, she had been an independent VTuber before joining. She held her re-debut stream as an AniMare member on February 7, 2021, followed by an introduction stream the next day. With the move she changed the spelling of her given name from katakana to hiragana. After joining, she regularly held morning streams. After a hiatus of several months, she announced her return on November 12, 2021, and resumed streaming the following day. Around late December 2021 the agency revealed her key visual along with those of her debut-mates. She debuted her second 2D outfit on February 11, 2022.

AniMare was later disbanded and merged into 774 inc. as a whole. Tirol returned on April 5, 2024, after about two years of inactivity. On her return she unveiled a third 2D outfit, which became her new main design.

Activities

Streaming style

Her channel lists knitting, singing, ASMR and chatting as her main content. She also streams games and takes part in collaborations with other 774 inc. talents. One example is a 3D dance-class stream hosted by Jayoi Tia, where Tirol appeared as a guest with Uruwashi Ririri. In her channel description she says she studies PowerPoint and video editing, puts effort into the visual presentation of her streams, and practices English and singing. She also states that she is learning English and asks viewers to help through their comments. Besides YouTube, she streams on Twitch.

Characteristics

Her character is a jackalope, an imaginary horned rabbit, from a fairy-tale forest somewhere in the virtual world. In her earlier character profile she called herself a "seiso-ish party person" and was described as the former principal of Tsukinoki Twilight School. In her lore she has been known for at least 200 years but looks about ten years old. Her design has long, light blonde hair with antlers and blue-green eyes. One outfit is a brown and white dress with blue accents, plus a badge showing a jackalope head with her name written in hiragana. In her more recent self-introduction she calls herself a classy, pure-hearted, devoted otaku and describes supporting her favorite people as a form of study.
