Draft:Shinonome Arata

Shinonome Arata (東雲アラタ) is a male Japanese Virtual YouTuber and a member of D-Prince!.

Raised carefully as an only child, he became a strong free spirit. He gets interested easily but also loses interest quickly, he will head straight towards the things he likes to do, for better or for worse, and others see him as self-centered. He doesn't like it when people bad-mouth Saitama or call him “small” or “cute”. He says he’s still growing, and will be over 2 meters in the future.

Background
Taiga made his first tweet on 25 September, 2020. He made a voice reveal on 2 October. He made his debut on YouTube on 3 October, 2020.

2020
On 7 November, Arata revealed his Live2D model.

Retirement
On 8 May, 2021, it was announced that Arata would be graduating from D-Prince! on 31 May, 2021, the reason being that he found something else he wanted to do in music and decided that it would be best to focus in that area. More information was released on the official D-Prince! Twitter account, stating that his channel's archives would be made private in June as per Arata's request.
