Introduction Video
Kuzuha's introduction.

Personality
Despite initially debuting as a reserved and suave vampire, the current Kuzuha is a loud-mouth and entertaining individual. He is very expressive when playing games, often shouting or boasting his own genius. He has a characteristic drawl and casual way of speaking which is often parodied by other livers. He is quick to become jokingly aggressive and confrontational to fellow livers, and often says or tweets off-beat things.

However when collabing with other livers he is known to be infamously shy and awkward. His first collaboration with Sakura Ritsuki sparked the birth of what is known as his "Weather Deck", where he attempts to start a conversation by asking about the weather. Though, after some time these collaboration would further get chaotic and less awkward as he get more closer to them. Kuzuha would also sometimes give valuable life advice to his viewers. Truthfully, he seems to be a hesitant and modest individual; he often talks about his uncertainty in his own skills and working towards improving himself. Kuzuha is perceptive to the feelings of others and can easily read the room. He famously comforted Yuki Chihiro when she cried on stream.

Appearance
Kuzuha has striking white hair that has differing lengths on his different avatars. He has pale skin with scarlet red wide upturned eyes that has dark bags and a small mole under his left eye. Though rarely seen and not quite visible in his current outfits, Kuzuha has a small mole on his right collarbone and another one on his right arm. Kuzuha, being a vampire, has a pair of sharp pointed fangs, very long claw like fingernails, and pointed ears that has multiple peircings. Kuzuha has been seen wearing multiple differently styled clothes.

In his current outfit, Kuzuha has his not particularly styled mid-length white hair with his fringe sweeping the right. He wears a black zip-up turtleneck tracksuit with his signature red bat logo on the right side and a white stripe lining from his shoulders to his sleeves. He wears this bare-foot and with white wide-leg lounge pants that are slightly longer than his legs.

Background
Kuzuha made his YouTube debut as an independent VTuber on 8 March 2018. After being personally scouted by Ichikara Inc., he officially joined the 3rd batch of Nijisanji Gamers (formerly) and received a new Live2D character model on 30 July. Before joining, Kuzuha was planning to join Nijisanji as a student but after he saw Kanae and Akabane Youko pass the audition, he decided that he will also join Nijisanji Gamers.

2019
On 26 November, Kuzuha debuted his 3D model during a stream.
