Shigure Ui

Shigure Ui (しぐれうい) is a female Japanese virtual YouTuber.

Introduction Video
Ui's debut stream.

Physical Appearance
Ui is an unassuming college art student, with a conservative school-uniform with a skirt and a beret.

She also has an alternative model she can utilize which represents her when she was at the age of 7.

All incarnations of Ui seem to feature fuzzy little fluff-balls in their visual-design, which adult Ui decorates her braids with and uses on her collar in place of a broach.

Personality
Ui's streams are regarded by fans as being extremely quiet, laid-back and mellow, owing to Ui's gentle and comparatively mature personality. Her art streams have also been noted as being very informative for aspiring digital artists.

In spite of this generally wholesome streaming persona, Ui has now and again let it slip that she really enjoys using crass or vulgar humor, and that she's an avid fan of a few "less than wholesome" professional artists associated with the Ecchi genre. She's also not above brutally teasing or making fun of her fans now and again, especially when answering Q&A's.

Background
She is originally an illustrator who also did the character design and illustration for Oozora Subaru of hololive. Her Twitter account was opened on 28 August 2009.

In 2018, she began becoming a VTuber. Her YouTube channel was created on 16 September. She would collaborate with other VTubers on their videos and streams although she did not start her activities on her channel until her introduction stream which was live on 18 May 2019.

Trivia

 * Ui's voice, as well as distinct mannerisms such as her laugh, have been noted by fans and even other VTubers as being extremely similar to those of hololive member Tsunomaki Watame. Subaru Oozora even claimed that when she watched Watame's debut-stream she became confused and thought that it was actually Ui streaming under a new identity. The little fluff-balls in Ui's design are notably reminiscent of the texture of Watame's wool. The idea of a conspiracy where Ui and Watame are secretly the same person has become a minor running joke among both fan-bases.
