Yukke Shou

Yukke Shou is a male VTuber/streamer from the USA who typically streams in English. He is, in his own words, a "catboy gamer vtuber", with emphasis on the 'gay' in gamer.

Profile
Small catboy gaymer, formerly just a small boy gaymer, Yukke went through a seemingly impossible surgical operation by his witch-doctor mother that changed him from just a normal boy into a catboy. It all started when he was suddenly thrown out the window...

Yukke overall has a people-pleaser personality: kindhearted, sympathetic, and generous when he is able. He is also somewhat introverted, though he constantly works towards improving his charisma and energy capacity to cherish his friendships. He tends to be more outgoing and carefree while he is playing video games with his friends, and will share light roasts with them at times. He also shows a bit more affection towards males, due to his sexuality, but this does not mean he excludes anyone else.

He enjoys RPG games most of all, and is an avid player of Final Fantasy XIV. He refers to his art and rig modeler as "momther." He hates insects and spiders, and is easily frightened.

As of 2023 he is partnered with who he calls his "hubby", a foxboy VTuber known as Kai Namehara and performs duo streams with him on most occasions.

Personality
Yukke is a frequently mischievous catboy who never misses a chance to make a homosexual innuendo. Though he may look innocent and young, he is often vulgar and just short for his age, and so people tend to be easily tricked from first impressions. However, he is kind at heart, and tends to apologize often for his jokes even when they are not that obscene or offensive. He does his best to stay "seiso" in the presence of company that is more chaste than him, such as with his younger brother, but may still slip out a curse word or two.

He self-proclaims to have "50 billion boyfriends," but this is purely an exaggeration in that he wishes to spread his love and kindness to as many as he can, treating them as if they were actual boyfriends. Though he does not solely include males as his "boyfriends", as he loves each of his followers, and treats all people with the respect they deserve, regardless of their gender.

Appearance
Yukke is a bluish-black haired catboy, with bluish-black ears and tail with a white tip. He has blue eyes and light skin.

Currently, Yukke's favorite (and only) outfit is a blue sailor-esque top piece with a heart pendant and tied with an lustrous gold-orange ribbon, and comfortable pull-on blue shorts, with dark blue boots. His outfit is lined with soft, orange fluff that keeps him warm in multiple spots. He has yet to officially reveal his lower body, but it is said his shorts and shoes are also lined with the same orange fluff.

His notable accessories are his choker and ear piercings attached to his right cat ear. The choker is a heart with a rainbow gradient, to represent his sexuality, and has a silver bell next to its left. One ear piercing is also a rainbow gradient for the same reason of symbolization. The other piercing is of a reddish-orange gradient, which is his creator's signature in the form of a color indicator.

2020
On 23 September, "Yukke 1.0" officially debuted on YouTube, performing gaming streams for about a year until his re-debut. During his time, he was able to negotiate an upgrade with a dedicated artist.

2021
On 23 September, "Yukke 2.0" officially debuted on Twitch, and made the platform his new preferred streaming site. He still uses his YouTube to upload VODs of Twitch streams, highlights compilations from some streams, and a variety of short memes.

2022
On 28 November, "Yukke 2.4" debuted on Twitch which he showed additions and improvements to his current cat boy model, as well as new outfits. He considered it "2.4" rather than "2.5" because the model he currently used was still in "beta testing", noting some errors on a couple of his outfit changes. He also announced that the next update would be "3.0", a full model revamp, with a new costume and even further improvements for viewing pleasure.

Fans
Yukke's fans are officially called "Shouboyz", a play on the term "showboys". He has chosen to use "boyz" with a z to ensure all are included, making his gathering more like a crew of "the boyz."
