Natsuiro Matsuri (夏色まつり) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber endorsed by hololive.

Introduction Video
Matsuri's introduction.

Appearance & Personality

 * With brown hair, a high ponytail, and an ahoge, she is a very energetic and lively jk. (Joshi kōsei, or female high school student) Is a member of the cheerleading team but in reality, this is just another element she adds to her character. She also has an indoor clothing as well as animal ears which appears sometimes.
 * Most viewers call her “まつりす”（Matsurisu，祭丝），while in China many people call her "马自立"(read Ma Zili), as she switches personalities from a pervert to pretending to be cute and clear, she is also nicknamed 夏哥 (Matsuri (elder-)brother, when she shows off her hentai masculine tendencies)、夏妹 (Matsuri (younger-)sister, when she is cute and cuddly)、祭妹(Natsuiro sister) etc.
 * Likes festivities (祭まつり, which makes up part of her name, and the emoji that represents her "🏮"), and hates studying. In reality she likes almost all other female VTubers, especially Shirakami Fubuki. Often displays her true feelings (flirting) towards other VTubers, which eventually became a part of her personality.
 * Always sound cheerful and lively, and is usually clear but acts a little bit silly at times; has a relatively wide vocal range, and a large lung volume which makes her a good candidate for singing, her character song is《夏祭り》(Natsumatsuri) (MatsurixHaato), a song about Summer festivities; even though viewers normally consider《心做し》 (MatsurixHaato), a song about unrequited love with Shirakami Fubuki to be her real character song. She is also good at audio dubbing live, and has the ability to change her voice in short notice for acting different characters. Besides, her volume differs greatly in accordance with her mood (which can also change greatly without prior warning), hence it is advised to keep your hand beside the volume bar.
 * Since she is currently studying stage play, she is very talented at singing Disney songs. Every time she sings one of those songs, there will be comments praising her "critically-acclaimed" voice".
 * Appears enthusiastic to learn Chinese after seeing how many subscribers she has on bilibili (2 times the number she has in Youtube) This led to many Chinese teaching pranking her into learning Chinese memes such as “才八点”(literally "it's just 8 o'clock", often used when the stream is about to end as an attempt to have the stream prolonged since it is "still early")
 * After her debut 3D livestream, she shows very high flexibility and endurance for a jk, which finally alludes to her role as a member of the cheerleading team. As a result, she is almost always invited to other Hololive 3D collaboration livestreams.
 * She became the first VTuber to appear for a few seconds in CCTV news report, a TV program normally with 4000 million view count at any given time.
 * Announced a hiatus during her livestream on 24 October 2019 due to bodily issues.
 * Announced her reappearance on 31 October that she will reappear 2 November 2019 on Youtube and 3 November on bilibili. She later recounts suffering from a disruption of her menstrual cycle due to excessive stress and was ordered by the doctor to rest. Take care of yourself, Matsuri-chan!

History
Her Twitter account was opened on 16 May 2018 while her YouTube channel was created on 25 May although she did not start her activities on YouTube until her first stream on the midnight of 2 June.

On 1 April 2019, she announced that she would be debuting her 3D model in the middle of April. She later did a stream on 3 April commemorating her getting a 3D model by building a model of her in 3D in Minecraft. The debut date was later announced to be 15 April. She debuted her 3D model in a stream during which she also mentioned several collaborations with several other VTubers such as DeepWebUnderground and Pinky Pop Hepburn.

On 6 August, Matsuri showcased the swimsuit for her 3D model.

Events

 * On 23 May 2019, she made an appearance in hololive's collaboration with Dawn of the Breakers as one of the characters alongside Roboco, Aki Rosenthal, Shirakami Fubuki, 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, Shirakami Fubuki, Minato Aqua, Murasaki Shion, Nakiri Ayame, and Ookami Mio.

Flat-chest attracts each other

 * Matsuri (who is a flat-chest) is known to be a fan of another flat-chested VTuber Pinky Pop Hepburn from THE MOON STUDIO.
 * During the 3D livestream on 15 April, Matsuri received a pleasant surprise from Hololive: they invited Pinky Pop Hepburn to celebrate Matsuri's 3D model debut without notifying him beforehand, which led to Matsuri losing his mind, kneeling on the floor, screaming and crying, touched. ( Which somehow fits the reaction of normal jk when they see their idols)

Fubuki↓, Fubuki↑ Fubuki↑ FUBUKI!!!!!
note：Her script is originated from a post (love confession) on 2ch written to the character Louise in The Familiar of Zero, a Japanese light novel）


 * For reasons unknown, Matsuri became increasingly obsessed with Shirakami Fubuki, another VTuber coming from the same company Hololive, their relationship turning into something "more than friends". It became increasingly well-known after Matsuri put up a video in which she keeps on screaming for Fubuki and acting in heat, which is later used by fans to taunt her when her love is not reciprocated.
 * Due to editing by fans, as well as Fubuki's famous quote, it makes classic quotes like "Matsuri is overdoing it""Having affairs with other women more frequently than she breaths", etc became widespread, and established a new term "breathing=having an affair" (“呼吸=花心”) in Chinese.
 * On 14 December 2018, Matsuri during a livestream in Mirrativ, confessed sadly that (her fight against Ookami Mio for Fubuki's love)is lost, and that it doesn't matter anymore". Since she sounded very sad when she said it, it was again used by her fans as a joke whenever she fails to flirt with other female VTubers.
 * Matsuri's love affairs have led to Fubuki being angry at her unfaithfulness and eventual "break-up" between the two after another failed meditation.
 * At the same time, while Fubuki keeps reducing interactions with Matsuri, she increases her time spent with other female VTubers (according to Matsuri), mostly with Ookami Mio.
 * Because Matsuri keeps flirting whenever she has a chance, she is even scorned at by other VTubers, the most serious accusation coming from Honma Himawari from NijiSanji Gamer, saying "Matsuri is having an affair again!"
 * Eventually, "Tokyo Bay, my tears" (“东京湾的水，我的泪” in Chinese) is used to describe Matsuri and Fubuki's decrease in interaction, meaning the viewers are suffering so much seeing how both Matsuri and Fubuki intentionally keeping themselves apart from each other and using Tokyo Bay as synecdoche: when the relationship between the two warms, fans say the water in Tokyo Bay warms up; the water in Tokyo Bay cools down when the two's relationship drops. (Tokyo Bay's water boils, freezes, turns into honey, etc.)
 * On 26 January, Matsuri's debut in bilibili, she showed off the video she put on twitter in which she kept on screaming Fubuki's name during the livestream, and promised to make a continuation if the view count reaches 100 million.
 * The view count reaches 100 million on 28 February 7:20 p.m., Matsuri immediately put up another video on twitter after getting notified.
 * On 13 February, Matsuri and Fubuki had a Valentine's Eve collaboration. At first, both seem to be happy with each other's presence ( Tokyo Bay boiling) However, when talking about gifting chocolate, Matsuri died lost connection immediately after Fubuki said she would only give out chocolate to Matsuri as a friend, not as a lover. In order to revive Matsuri, Fubuki then admitted that she was planning on giving her chocolate to Matsuri as her lover, but was embarrassed to say it out loud. The internet connection turns back to normal right after she said that and Matsuri reappeared after 6 minutes and 16 seconds. Though, Fubuki's collaboration on the next day (Valentine's day) is with Ookami Mio.
 * After a long period of Tokyo Bay Ice Age, on 15 April 2019, Matsuri mentioned she would host a 3D collaboration with Fubuki on 23 April, which led to all the ice breaking; Fubuki even gave her first blood red SuperChat of 11800 yen (highest payable in iOS server).
 * 23 April 2019, Matsuri Fubuki 1-2-Switch 3D collaboration began as promised. The livestream was extremely sweet for those who support the CP between Masturi and Fubuki, with highlights such as Fubuki confession sword fight, physical contact, Mio's tarot cards, etc, it ended in great success.
 * 9 June 2019, after Matsuri and Fubuki returned to Japan after a trip to China for bilibili on-stage show, since Fubuki's new home has yet to install new beds, she stayed in Matsuri's house.
 * With regards to the above-mentioned Matsuri's flirtatious behaviors, some fans were unhappy that others are using his quotes sarcastically and laughing at his failures, while others think her behavior helps shape her personality and helps her gain new followers, besides, she should be allowed to do whatever she sees fit.
 * Still, for the sake of other viewers and the VTubers, viewers should control themselves from overreacting/forcing others to accept your own opinions or attempting to interfere with VTuber's relations. Besides, it should be noted that there are situations when making sarcastic comments/joking may be inappropriate. Poor behaviors will not only affect other viewer's mood but also worsen the reputation of the VTubers.

"Breathing"
Caption: I will "breathe" you all once I get out of this cell
 * Beside Fubuki, Matsuri also performs all sorts of erotic funny actions including but limited to "raping" VTuber 兎鞠まり (Tomari Mari) in minecraft, a male VTuber pretending to be a female with female skin and voice changer.
 * During 5 February 2019, Matsuri in her bilibili only livestream said in Chinese "I love fox (Fubuki) since birth (我从出生起就喜欢小狐狸了)" and "Love fox (Fubuki) my whole life" (小狐狸一生推). After getting familiar with the template (我从出生起就喜欢XXX了 and XXX一生推), she started inserting names of different VTubers and confessing her love to them and is considered the head of DD (誰でも大好き, or Daredemo Daisuki, meaning I love everyone no matter who they are) by viewers afterwards.
 * When going to a zoo with Mursakai Shion, Matsuri flipped her dress as if no one was looking. Fans later created the line "Matsuri deserves her name (as Mat (elder-)brother), easily performing something others cannot" with reference to JOJO.
 * When playing MC with Yuzuki Choco, another member from Hololive, Matsuri said "Because oppai(breast) is right there" When Choco asked if she has kissed anyone before, she produced another classic line " I cannot speak for the future, but right now I have only ever kissed you (Choco sensei)."
 * Once asked how Fubuki viewed her, Matsuri received a reply of "normal liking". When asked again "is this unrequited love?", was retorted "weren't you looking for girls to flirt with everywhere?"
 * During livestream, Matsuri held a wedding ceremony with 皆守ひいろ (HeroMinamori) from ENTUM. During the stream, Minamori (M atsuri's 103rd woman ) mentioned how she decided to subscribe to Matsuri the day of her debut (28 June 2018) since her viewers mentioned how her personality is similar to Matsuri. Matsuri started showing her flirtatious nature around 41:30 minutes into the livestream, and in 43:10 the two divorced each other.
 * Afterwards, the two remarried on 14 September during a Minecraft collaboration and decided to divorce the next time they meet.
 * For better soundproof during livestreams and easier 3D collaborations (they have to go to the company for 3D collaborations), Matsuri moved out of her home and lived alone next to Hololive company. One week after moving out, she started TwitCasting using the same channel as Minamori and also held several sudden livestreams featuring the two of them flirting with each other and setting up a time for dates. Since Tokyo Bay was still frozen at the time, many fans turned from MatsuriFubuki to MatsuriHero fans. Besides, since it was the first time for Matsuri to live alone, she imagined HeroMinamori as her mother and coquetted at her.
 * Matsuri faced a lot of problems after moving out.
 * Matsuri once mentioned she does not have any dietary plans and does not eat healthily. She would normally order fast food since it is faster.
 * Matsuri also showed her girlish side when during one of her TwitCasting she mentioned missing her family as well as her mother's (ままつり, her biological mother) dishes and even cried afterwards. After HeroMinamori knows of her situation, she comforted Matsuri and said she believes Matsuri can become independent in no time.
 * Matsuri in real life is also quite perverted likes to make physical contact with other cute girls and even encouraged others to follow suit. All Hololive members except Tokino Sora have been "cared" by her before. Under the influence of Matsuri, the members started caressing each other, doing it at their stay during their trip to Disneyland.
 * Mother (MAtsuri) ままつり：Matsuri once invited her biological mother for a by-talk livestream collaboration, MAtsuri's liveliness received generally favorable comments from the viewers, Matsuri then helped her mother set up a personal Twitter account so she can let her mother know how many hentai fanart she retweeted every day.
 * MatShion(Matsuri+Shion): Matsuri and Murasaki Shion from Hololive dated each other in real life on 29 January 2019 and 12 March 2019 again. Since Tokyo Bay was still cold at the time, a lot of people started supporting the two.
 * Matsuri once mentioned how she tried to flip Shion's dress again during their date, but Shion, having had experience with Matsuri, wore safety pants this time and said calmly "Pervert, should I call for help?"
 * The two had a barbecue for dinner, and Shion later recounted how Matsuri ate raw meat served with ice cream.
 * Actually, he two had been collaborating for a while already (since they are both of the same company), Matsuri also once admitted that Shion satisfies her fetishes the best. (lolicon)
 * During White Valentine's Day, the two sang Sweet Magic together.

Homolive 5th batch (fake)

 * Due to similarity in personality and viewers, many people asked her to collaborate with 犬山たまき, (Inuyama Tamaki), an otokonoko, or crossdresser VTuber (as women).
 * "I want to save Matsuri" ：Matsuri was deceived into joining Inuyama's "Extreme Tetris Assembly·Holding Back Urine challenge", and almost failed to hold back in the end.
 * Inuyama created this video to laugh at Matsuri after the challenge
 * After the challenge, Matsuri seems to have fallen in love with the idea of holding back urine. She started forcing herself to hold back her urine now and then.
 * Due to her often mentioning how she likes to hold back urine, she gained around 700 subscribers in one day. She was comfortable with their erotic tendencies and did not seem to be embarrassed by the idea.
 * Matsuri was happy to learn that Inugami Korone from hololive Gamers also wanted to join the holding back urine challenge as this means a new partner to share her likings.

On air

 * During the 2019 World Cyber Games Shanghai Week Ceremony, CCTV News made a report on 3 August 2019, in which Matsuri was seen in one shot.

Before she is a VTuber, she is a girl

 * Was confused during her earlier career as VTuber, attempted to be more "idol-like" during her first few videos as she was much younger than Shirakami Fubuki and saw her as a role-model at first (Shirakami Fubuki is known for her cuteness), but in the end, finds her own path. T o become a pervert.
 * Sometimes turns on TwitCasting without prior notice in the middle of the night, to release her pressure cumulated during the day.
 * She is very aware of her audiences' feelings.

Love interests (Matsuri's harem of 103 girls)

 * MatsurixFubuki
 * Most people consider this to be a Chinese fanon since a lot of the clips featuring the two are either dated and/or bilibili exclusive. Besides, bilibili usually invites the two together during offline fanfare/activities to cater for the large MatsurixFubuki fanbase in China, leading to even more interactions between the two. However, since both of them (Fubuki and Matsuri) are known for their flirtatious nature, it is ill-advised to overuse the memes especially during their collaborations with other VTubers.
 * MatsurixFubuki can be traced back to Matsuri's debut video. The two often appears in other VTuber's channels together, attended many Hololive collaborations together, as well as dating with each other together for multiple times, leading to rumors of the CP between Matsuri and Fubuki.
 * In October 2018, during a VTuber manzai competition held by NinjiSanji, Matsuri proposed to Fubuki during their time for introduction, in which Fubuki mentioned she would consider it if they take the championship in the competition. In the end, the two of them got the champion during the competition, and it became a hot tag on twitter on when the two would eventually marry.
 * On 26 January 2019, during Matsuri's debut video in bilibili, she mentioned "if I am to say who I like, I would say I like cute girls. But Fubuki is my one and only, she is my wife."
 * Was invited by Fubuki on 18 February, Matsuri and Fubuki joined Inuyama Tamaki's "Extreme Tetris Assembly·Holding Back Urine challenge" together. When Matsuri is almost at her limit, Fubuki said her famous quote "Even if Matsuri peed, Fubuki and Matsuri will be together forever!" (because theoretically if Matsuri really did pee during the stream, it could become a scandal for her)
 * After the 3D debut of Matsuri, Matsuri and Fubuki had two consecutive 3D collaborations. On 23 April during the 1-2 switch game on "seizing the sword empty-handed", Fubuki won the game by saying "Matsuri-chan...suki! (swings sword)" (Confession sword-fight).
 * During niconico's douga, the two of them had a lot of interactions, confessions and touching each other's tail (butt).
 * From 6 to 9 June 2019, Matsuri and Fubuki joined the CP24 Shanghai Station held by bilibili (honeymoon) and live-streamed for a total of 5 hours in two days. The show was filled with honey but their manager booked two rooms for the two of them. (lonely Matsuri lonely) After they returned home due to Fubuki switching to a new home, they lived together in Matsuri's house for one night doing a midnight livestream talking about their honeymoon trip and exposing each other's new elements. (Fubuki is afraid of height and riding aeroplanes, Matsuri lolita, etc.)
 * 31 October 2019 Matsuri and Fubuki had a date again (giving out "sweets" during Halloween), Matsuri later tweeted "I feel so happy after meeting Fubuki!" while Fubuki replied by saying "We held hands together in the end which makes me feel happy! Thank you for today Let's do a horror game collaboration afterwards (Fufufu)."
