Kagami Hayato

Kagami Hayato (加賀美ハヤト) is a male Japanese Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI. He debuted along with Yorumi Rena and Hakase Fuyuki, forming a trio known as "SMC-gumi" (SMC組).

Profile
The president of the toy company "Kagami Industrial (加賀美インダストリアル)," he debuted as a virtual liver to promote his company's products.

Personality
As CEO of a toy company, Kagami maintains a youthful spirit despite the demands of the adult working world. However, due to the nature of his job, he maintains respectful language and etiquette at all times when addressing his viewers. During collaborations, Kagami usually provides commentary or acts as the straight man to others' antics. His solo streams often have a calm, relaxing atmosphere punctuated by his cheerful laughter and fun commentary.

However, Kagami also possesses a competitive spirit and hates to lose. He shows a child-like wonder and excitement when faced with toys and games that he has a strong interest in (e.g., mecha and other robots, big animals, insects, strong enemies, trading card games, etc.).

Kagami's intensity also comes out when he performs on stage. He combines his smooth and crisp singing voice with distinctive harsh vocals (e.g., growls, screams, pig squeal). As a fan of heavy rock and metal, he often sings songs that showcase these abilities. He is also known to exhibit his "bad habit" of high kicking when singing on stage.

Streaming Style
Start Time: After 22:00 to 24:00 (JST). He very rarely streams during the day. The schedule and content for each stream is usually announced on his Twitter account at around 19:00 (JST).

Frequency: Around 4 or 5 days a week.

Duration: Usually at least 3 hours, but it tends to go on longer depending on the game (e.g., games from From Software, Yakuza, etc.) or when the following day is a holiday.

Thumbnails: His videos often feature thumbnails with a very distinct aesthetic. While some are fairly straightforward interpretations of their respective games, for some it would be hard to determine the games that the thumbnails are for without seeing the game logo or reading the title.

Debut
Kagami made his first introductory tweet on 3 July 2019 and his debut stream on 6 July 2019. At the end of his debut introduction, he showed the short version of his original song "WITHIN." Three days after that, he premiered the short version as an MV.

2019

 * On October 6, he reached 100,000 subscribers and had a "singing stream" on the same day. After a short singing portion, he "forgot" to end the stream and got into a phone call. Immediately after, as a surprise, he unveiled his new outfit which consists of his casual attire. The costume also included options for carrying trading cards and for wearing an incom earpiece, similar to what characters in Yu-Gi-Oh sometimes wear.
 * On November 13, Kagami along with the other members of SMC-gumi had their first sponsored stream (for Lenovo gaming PCs).
 * On December 2, he celebrated his 28th birthday on stream by singing a number of songs and viewing birthday messages from other Nijisanji livers. The following day, SMC-gumi had an offline collaboration stream to celebrate his birthday together. He received a birthday cake and letters from the girls. These were the first photos that he took with the camera he brought for himself as a present.

2020

 * On January 1, his new key visual was announced and revealed on stream. Here, he struggled with trying to replicate the cool expression on his key visual.
 * The tweet also announced that, to commemorate their half-year anniversary, SMC-gumi would be releasing something on January 3. However, due to YouTube's automatic content ID system, the release of their cover of "Sugar Song and Bitter Step" was delayed until February 23.
 * On January 24, a 2.0 brushup of his Live 2D model was announced and debuted on stream. Here, he struggled to wink and vowed to practice more.

The band performed 9 songs and also took requests from the audience in order to prove that it was all happening live.
 * Kagami used his earnings from Super Chats to fund the project and give back to his viewers, the cost totaling to 7 digits in yen.
 * The stream reached 130,000 in simultaneous viewership, 10 million yen in Super Chats, and #加賀美ハヤト3D (#KagamiHayato3D) was trending at No.1 on Twitter. By the following day, the video had reached 1 million views.
 * On August 14 and 21, he appeared with Ex Albio as guests on Episodes 9 and 10 of Yashiro Kizuku and Sasaki Saku's official variety show, Lever Gacha Daipan. Here, he brought a plastic model crawfish instead of snacks and revealed his difficulties with tying shoelaces.
 * On October 6, SMC-gumi collaborated in 3D for the first time when they all performed in Day 2 of the Kyo to Aki no NIJISANJI live event. [see the Events section for more details]
 * On November 23, he announced on twitter that he will be taking a break from streaming until 28th November. It was revealed later at 28th November in a chat stream that he had been hospitalized and had a surgery to treat his deviated septum.
 * On December 1, he waited for and celebrated his 29th birthday on stream by weeding his island on Animal Crossing until midnight. On December 3, SMC-gumi had a 3D collaboration stream to celebrate his birthday, where they eat hotpot and cake, play Momotaro Densetsu, and give gifts (Kagami also prepared thank you presents).

Gaming Streams
Although Kagami has a varied taste in games and could play Bloodborne one night then Animal Crossing the next, he often gravitates towards playing particular titles. Featured below are some notable examples of games that he is often seen playing or has spent a significant amount of time playing.

From Software Games
Kagami tends to play with a "Muscle Brain" style, often prioritizing high damage and defense.
 * Dark Souls Series. Kagami played Dark Souls for the first time in this order: Remastered [playlist], Dark Souls 3 [playlist] , and Dark Souls 2 [playlist] . Even though he himself admitted that he was not particularly good at the game, he enjoyed himself as he kept learning while playing. No matter how many times he was beaten down by strong enemies, he never lost heart and kept trying again while laughing lightly. He played all games to completion.
 * Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. [playlist] After developing "From Software Brain," Kagami proceeded to challenge Sekiro. As with Dark Souls, he quickly became addicted and would even play off-stream.
 * Bloodborne. [playlist] Kagami wanted to play Bloodborne right before Elden Ring was released. At first, he was confused by Bloodborne's difference from the Dark Souls series, but he quickly got used to it. He also got attached to the weapon Stake Driver, which has a short reach but a powerful attack output. On 24 December 2021 he played more than 9.5 hours, making that his longest stream yet.
 * Elden Ring. Kagami recently bought a PS5 and is planning to start playing Elden Ring in March 2022.

Trading Card Games
Kagami loves playing different card games digitally and physically. He is known to play the following trading card games: Yu-Gi-Oh, Duel Masters, Magic the Gathering, Pokémon, and Digimon. He often has ridiculously good luck when opening booster packs. He plays with both fellow livers and listeners, and would occasionally build unusual decks to challenge himself.
 * Yu-Gi-Oh. A big fan of the physical card game since childhood, Kagami has streamed himself playing different digital versions of the game (Legacy of the Duelist [playlist ], Master Duel [playlist] ). In Master Duel, he would duel listeners under certain card restrictions (e.g., Normal cards only). He was able to reach Platinum 1 with a Drytron deck. He also created a dedicated Discord server so Nijisanji livers from all branches can more easily play Master Duel together. He dubbed this the Nijisanji Battle City, after the tournament that Yu-Gi-Oh's Seto Kaiba held. Kagami has also opened Yu-Gi-Oh oripa lucky bags on stream: with Yorumi Rena (500,000 yen lucky bag); with Yorumi and Hanabatake Chaika (part 1, 2).
 * Duel Masters. [playlist] Because he plays the physical version of the card game, he quickly started playing the digital version, Duel Masters Play's (DMPS), upon release. He often purchases booster packs worth 30,000 yen or more and opens them on stream with unusually good luck. He frequently appears as a guest or commentator in DMPS's official YouTube channel. He was involved in both Nijisanji x DMPS collaboration events and was featured in in-game cards, skins, and accessories during the 2nd collaboration. In addition, Kagami recorded a new original song titled "Kagiribi" that featured in the game as duel BGM (excerpt here). A full version will be released on his channel at a later date.
 * Magic the Gathering. Apart from playing the digital version of the game, MTG Arena (MTGA), he also plays the physical card game and occasionally shows his purchases on stream or on his Twitter. He occasionally streams sponsored MTGA invitational early access events (MTGM21, Zandikar's Dawn, Cardheim) along with Yashiro Kizuku and Hanabatake Chaika. These three livers have also opened MTG oripa lucky bags on stream (1 million yen lucky bag with Yashiro, 1.8 million yen with Yashiro and Chaika). Kagami also once did an ASMR stream while opening booster packs.

Yakuza Series Games
Kagami has played the following Yakuza games in order: Kiwami [playlist], 0 [playlist] , Kiwami 2 [playlist] , Yakuza: Like a Dragon [playlist].

Pokémon Series Games
Kagami has experience playing the following Pokémon games: Red/Green, Gold/Silver, Sword/Shield, Shining Pearl, Arceus.
