Introduction Video
Fubuki's introduction.

Appearance & Personality

 * A white-haired animal-eared jk (fox), is shy and quiet but likes chatting with people.
 * Lives in the hills beside the forest of the fairies, and likes eating corn and drinking tea. Her fans are called "sunkonbu"(すこん部), her emoji is 🌽.
 * White-haired, has fox ears and tail. Has three ponytails and an ahoge. Has an earring on her left ear.
 * Shares the same character designer from Azur Lane's Kawakaze, so the two of them look alike.
 * Received her 3D model on 17 October 2018, she started dancing Daisuke and trying out all sorts of postures, which is in huge contrast to her shy nature in 2D.
 * Even though she claims to be a fox herself, she always meows during livestreams.
 * Likes to say "sososo", "hey-sor" that makes her extra cute.
 * Fubuki is usually cheerful and excited, singing little songs and making many in-jokes. She is shy when confronted with new circumstances, and when embarrassed she "hides" at the bottom of the screen with only her fox-ears peeking up. She becomes enthralled in games and has cute conversations with scripted game characters, or voice-acts as characters or makes sound effects.

Background
Her Twitter account was opened on 19 May 2018 while her YouTube channel was created on the 24th although she did not start her activity on YouTube until a live-stream on 1 June. Besides YouTube, she also does live-streams on her OPENREC.tv and Mirrativ channels.

2018
On 17 October, she debuted in her first 3D model but still streams using her 2D model.

2019
On 22 March, she did a live-stream where she debuted her new 3D model. In the same stream, she also announced that other members of Hololive will also be getting their 3D model and that there will be two new members of Hololive Gamers starting from April. Her first stream after the debut stream to feature her in her new 3D model was broadcast two days later on the 24th, though she still uses her 2D model as first seen on a stream on Ookami Mio's channel on the 25th and later on hers on the 26th.

Events

 * On 4 April 2019, she made an appearance in hololive's collaboration with Dawn of the Breakers as one of the characters alongside Roboco, Aki Rosenthal, Natsuiro Matsuri, Minato Aqua, Yuzuki Choco, Oozora Subaru, and Ookami Mio.
 * On 27 November 2019, she will be making an appearance in hololive's collaboration with Azur Lane as one of the characters alongside Tokino Sora, Natsuiro Matsuri, Minato Aqua, Murasaki Shion, Nakiri Ayame, and Ookami Mio.

Personal-related

 * Is knowledgable in everything ACG-related. Likes to play FGO, Touken Ranbu, etc. Her favorite voice actor is Yuichi Nakamura.


 * She is a foxgirl, but often labeled by viewers as other animals, either accidentally (by newbies) or sometimes intentionally by regular viewers who wish to provoke a cute reaction.
 * The Japanese onomatopoeia for foxes is "kon", therefore that sound - and the vegetable "corn", which sounds similar - is one of her in-jokes, often seen or heard in her channel and Twitter.
 * She is not good with the English language - her intro video had the English version of her name quite misspelled ("Fhunbuki").
 * She likes drinking bottled tea. Likes to put a bottled tea emoji on the corner during her streams, and may describe the tea she has been drinking that day on livestream or posting it on twitter. Is currently obsessed with bubble tea.
 * Works on twitter, uploading an average of 85 twitters per day.
 * She would hide her body and only reveal her fox ears due to embarrassment whenever viewers start typing "kawaii" (cute).
 * Is talented at drawing, and sometimes upload drawings of herself or other VTubers. Her mascot "狐笋 (roughly translates as fox bamboo shoot) is drawn by herself. During "Hololive Kindergarten" series, she drew a sphinx-like pigeon-headed minotaur creature, which was later colored by Ookami Mio's character designer and made 3D by Hololive. Is currently the mascot for Ookami Mio, and named by viewers as "hatotaurus".狐笋.png


 * Personal BGM provider: Foxtail-Grass Studio. ハム designed a lot of songs for Fubuki.
 * She is talented at character imitation, can play several roles at a time by changing the tone of her voice.
 * 黑フブキ/ "Lower Black Fire Consumer" (The Chinese translation of Shirakami Fubuki literally means upper White maelstrom"): The inner personality of Fubuki that is sadistic and cold. She can be spotted during read-aloud livestreams at the end of each month.
 * Is tolerant of spicy food.
 * Likes to play music games, and everyone else. (Means every other game genre).
 * Sometimes exposes her perverted nature. (erolive!)
 * Likes the CP between Mea and Aqua (Meaqua)
 * Likes middle-aged, handsome male characters.
 * Is fairly interested in military-themed games (a rare occurrence for VTubers), has streamed herself playing WoWs and Ace Combat series and showed great interest in continuing to stream herself playing the two games. However seems to shoot at everything except the enemy ship whenever she streams WoWs, and created all sorts of bloopers whenever she streams Ace Combat, such as sweeping the ground with machine-gun fire only to end up with a ground "kamikaze" due to her forgetting to pull her plane back up in time, getting buried under the bridge she just blew up, forgetting to do an evade maneuver after receiving a lock-on by missile warning, reducing her speed too much while bombarding ground targets which led to the plane crashing, etc. However what confounds her viewers the most is her ability to perform high difficulty maneuvers at ease, such as passing the level at one go which demands her to pass through a cliff with falling rocks using a strange setup of F-15J+QAAM. This has led to fanart being drawn depicting Fubuki as an Ace pilot.
 * Favorite plane model is F-16, which she was pleasantly surprised and made a "wow" sound after seeing the diverterless supersonic inlet of an F-16C from the front view.
 * Is a fan of Clash of Clans, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Kamen Rider and Type-Moon
 * Is good at playing The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow, especially Project Winter, in which she would use her cunning, tactics, fluent maneuvers, high combative skills as well imitation of other players' voices to her advantage (cunning as a fox) because after all, it's not FPS.
 * Due to various reasons, she only has one clothing for her Live2D model. While everyone else in Hololive starts getting swimsuits or summer clothing, she remains the only VTuber who continues to wear the clothing since her debut. There are even rumors that her swimsuit has been "stolen" by Natsuiro Matsuri, something she was disgruntled about for a long period of time. When she has her 3D debut on 28 August at last her cup is far smaller than C (which she claims she has).
 * Besides, during her 3D livestream, she suddenly decided to play FGO and made a 30 gacha rolls for the limited swimsuit editions for her characters in the game, believing that she would be luckier now that she is wearing her swimsuit and rolling for swimsuits. After she successfully got the swimsuit she wanted the dislikes in her Youtube video grew exponentially, likely coming from viewers who failed to roll the swimsuits they wanted.
 * Surprisingly knows a lot about Super Robot Wars, and is waiting for a sequel to Armored Core.
 * After her unofficial MMD model is open for public use, she showed off her MMD skills by using her model and Tokino Sora's model to dance. She also sang the BGM herself.
 * Has a "read-aloud" livestream at the end of each month in which she would read some of the messages sent by her fans. 🔥🔥🔥Fans that have their messages read would be burnt in the comment sector (out of envy).🔥🔥🔥
 * MatsurixFubuki: Is CP with same generation Natsuiro Matsuri, however, due to Matsuri's promiscuous nature, this greatly annoys Fubuki. Has hence started doing more collaborations with other VTubers (especially Ookami Mio) as frequently as Matsuri. (For details please refer to Natsuiro Matsuri)
 * After her childhood friend (according to their backgrounds, both of them live near the forest of the fairies) Ookami Mio joined Hololive Fubuki gave up on Natsuiro Matsuri.
 * According to Yuzuki Choco's body check (emm...), is D-cup (which translates to C-cup everywhere else).
 * Loves girls with huge breasts, asked for a knee-cushion and breast attack during her collaboration with Yuzuki Choco. Natsuiro Matsuri is flat-chested...
 * Had plans on 12 January to do a singing collaboration with Ookami Mio after a live-streaming of her playing Ace Combat 5. However, since she could not find the saving spot after initiating a scenario, the collaboration was canceled. This has led to memes about FubukixF-22. Planes are much more fun to play than woman .jpg
 * Drew a pigeon-minotaur during her collaboration with Ookami Mio (Hololive kindergarten) on 2 February, which was much adored by Mio's character designer. She then redraws the pigeon-minotaur and added part of her own "soul" into it, and has it guard over Mio at all times.
 * A new 3D model is created for Fubuki on 22 March. The new model would automatically cosplay Akuma's  "Raging Demon" whenever her model is showing her back to the viewers.
 * On 30 April (the last day of Heisei Era), towards the end of her "read-aloud" livestream, she said the word "thank you" in a few dozen languages before weeping and ending the stream.
 * On 9 May 2019, during her Mario Kart livestream, she gave a requirement to herself that she has to stop streaming if she ranked below 7 in any match. She also made it clear by uploading an advertising picture that she is "emanating a feeling of hot-bloodedness, since its peak hour during the stream so I want to make sure I stream for more than 30 minutes!! I cannot retry after I failed...I must get a total victory". Then ended her stream after 4 minutes.
 * On 20 May, she managed to stream for one whole hour playing Mario Kart (the above-mentioned rules still apply), getting four No.1, and zero No. 7 or below. She sang a song to celebrate before ending the stream. (Her subscription count in bilibili also reached 520k on 20 May)
 * Held her one year anniversary on Youtube on 1 June.
 * On 14 September 2019, parodied Nike's advertisement "JUST DO IT"
 * In late October 2019 was invited alongside Tokino Sora, Siro, Kaguya Luna, Kizuna Ai, and other famous VTubers as guests to Hollywood's 45th Saturn Awards ceremony.

Chinese fans-related

 * Was asked by Chinese fans to read "Fubuki is a fox" in Chinese during her "read-aloud" livestream at the end of October 2018, however, the pronunciation given was actually "Fubuki is a cat" in Chinese. (Fubuki: It's a trap by Kongming!)
 * During her read-aloud livestream at the end of December 2018, she received a similar request from another Chinese fan asking her to say "Merry Christmas" in Chinese (but is actually pronounced "I am a meow star citizen), but was discovered by Fubuki with the help of google translate. However, she still fell for the trap for the first time, and only used google translate because she wanted to read it more fluently. Google translate on the other hand has also managed to set up another trap for Fubuki (we all know how things go when we try google translate). Fubuki thinking that "meow star citizen" was the correct pronunciation until the word "Merry Christmas" is successfully translated. When Fubuki realized the mistake it was already too late. (Fubuki kept meowing while at the same time denying the fact that she is a cat)
 * In the same livestream at the end of October, 2018 Fubuki unconsciously read the line said by Kawakaze in Azur Lane when you marry her.
 * A clip was uploaded in January 2019 with the name "Makes you die of cuteness in one minute, our ancestors have not lied to us!" featuring Fubuki yelling “大楚兴陈胜王” (roughly translates as "Rise of Chu, Chen Sheng as the new king"), which is a meme that is widely circulated in China due to a misreading of an ancient piece of text, which has the intended meaning of "Wu Guang imitated the foxes' cry, others responded by yelling “大楚兴陈胜王”, but is sometimes misread as "Wu Guang imitating the foxes by crying “大楚兴陈胜王” due to difference in writing in ancient China and modern Chinese. This led to Fubuki reaffirming her position as a fox.
 * During her debut livestream on 30 January, she started playing the love confession by Natsuiro Matsuri to her during the stream and started laughing non-stop, then reciprocated Matsuri's confession by reading the confession template aloud (sadly without any emotions).
 * Attempted a Chinese tongue-twister during her livestream "吃葡萄不吐葡萄皮，不吃葡萄倒吐葡萄皮"(Chī pútáo bù tǔ pútáo pí, bù chī pútáo dào tǔ pútáo pí) and failing horribly, which then complimented China's culture.
 * On 24 March 2019, she was invited alongside Siro (one of the four elders in VTuber circle) to attend an AnimeJapan stage set up by bilibili. Was asked by Siro, "Is this a cat?"
 * On 27 April 2019, attended Bilibili Vtuber stage held by Niconico Douga with Natsuiro Matsuri.
 * On 7 May 2019, Fubuki's official channel in bilibili reaches 500k subscribers, in which she uploaded a post herself to thank her subscribers. (Most posts are written by volunteers helping out in the channel instead of the VTubers themselves in bilibili since there is no Japanese version of bilibili.)
 * Only celebrated her 500 k subscribers on 14 July (by then she already has 570k subscribers)...the stream peaked at 2.26 mil popularity rate (basically an indicator of how much SuperChat is thrown).
 * Personally thanked her fans in bilibili for making the video "【sketch-edit ed】loyal young wife little fox", who retweeted the video, and also re-sang the song at a later time.
 * During 7-8 June 2018, both Shirakami Fubuki and Natsuiro Matsuri appeared on bilibili Dragon-boat Festival CP24 Gaming stage. The livestream featuring the two kept at a steady 1.4+ mil popularity rate, the other day 0.8+ mil in the morning, and 1.2 mil in afternoon. They joined activities such as singing, playing the rhythm game BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!, Frame Arms Girl, as well as grouping up with Chinese fans playing Azur Lane and trying to stay alive for the longest period of time. The two also saved the show by starting by-talks with fans after BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! fails to start up due to connection issues, calming the audiences down. The first thing Matsuri did in China was to buy watermelons.
 * On 19 July 2019, she was invited alongside Kizuna AI, H|HimeHina and Tsukino Mito to attend Bilibili Macro link (BML).
 * On 20 August, held a livestream celebrating her subscribers reaching 600k subscribers, her popularity rate staying steady at around 1.1 million.
 * On 31 August and 1 September, she was invited alongside Natsuiro Matsuri to attend Fate/Grand Order 3rd anniversary and FGOFES 2019 held in China. During the gacha the person cosplaying as Fubuki and as a team member representing Fubuki managed to get a foxgirl card, while the person cosplaying Gilgamesh (in Fate) as a teammate representing team Matsuri got a lot of super rare cards alone.
 * Joined a 1st anniversary of "Ark Command" (Can't seem to find an English version of this mobile game)with Natsuiro Matsuri and Minato Aqua. Managed to get a lot of Aqua cards during gacha...(The three VTubers were added into the game as they had a crossover event before)
 * Joined BILIBILI's BW Shanghai stop "Super V College" from 4 to 6 October, and was partnered with Kyouka from OveRidea. Kyouka has Fubuki said in Chinese "I want to become a cat." (Good job!)

Same-sex CPs
The oldest CP that appears shortly after Hololive commenced, and became a hashtag "MatsuriFubuki" on 22 June 2018. Due to the two's interesting interactions and high compatibility, it is much favored even before the official establishment of the group. Since the bedroom background of Fubuki's streams shows the two as models lying on the end, they then confirm as being childhood friends (knowing each other in the virtual forest of the fairies). In reality, Fubuki is a food reserve for Mio and will be eaten when the time is right. (The word "eat" can have a sexual connotation which means "to have sex" in Chinese). Fubuki using two different voices to accomplish a self-pleasuring (?) performance. The two once held a wedding in a church...... The two have a child called Kagura Aqua. (Was named after Minato Aqua because they are real husband and wife...wonder what happened between the three of them...) (citation needed).
