Kagami Kira

Kagami Kira (鏡見キラ) was a male Japanese Virtual YouTuber endorsed by hololive's branch Holostars. He is a member of its first generation, alongside Hanasaki Miyabi, Kanade Izuru, (formerly) Yakushiji Suzaku, Arurandeisu, and Rikka.

Personality
A competitive crossdresser that loves to draw attention and wishes to become an idol. He has been good at gaming since childhood. PvP is his specialty.

Kira is also shown to be quite lewd at times. In his debut stream, he mentioned that he recieved many marshmallows from people asking about his "size", to which he replied that it was "the size of a horse's". In his second stream, he made an apology about his behaviour, but four minutes later he started making lewd jokes again. Sometimes, he'd get flustered or disgusted at other people's lewd behaviours, for example, when Tsukishita Kaoru came into his first debut anniversary stream and immediately called him disgusting.
