Gawr Gura

Gawr Gura is an English Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, as part of its English (EN) branch first generation of Vtubers alongside Ninomae Ina'nis, Takanashi Kiara, Watson Amelia and Mori Calliope.

Personality
Gura is friendly and readily likeable, and often amuses with foolish antics. She has difficulty telling left from right; once sent the entire hololive EN digging for 20 minutes the wrong direction because she misread a map; often misspells words ("twister" as "tiwster", "salmon" as "salman", "almond milk" as "Ame milk", "iron" as "arm"); once mistook bread for a potato; has trouble remembering her own age; once calculated that 9+10 equals 11; and failed to know the term "simp", which she corrected to "shrimp".

However, she is also highly clever, as evidenced by her quick wit and vast knowledge of Shark Facts. When questioned on why she was not "boing boing", she excused it by noting that she was more "hydrodynamic". Her skill with fast-paced rhythm games is exceptional, and she is highly ambitious.

Biography
Gura is a descendant of the Lost City of Atlantis, who swam to Earth while saying, "It's so boring down there LOLOLOL!" She bought her clothes (and her shark hat) in the human world and she really loves them. In her spare time, she enjoys talking to marine life.

Gura is over 9,000 years old. She forgot her exact age some time around 5,000s, and when asked gives a random number in the 9,000s range.

Background
She was introduced simultaneously on both hololive's and hololive's English Twitter accounts and on hololive English's YouTube channel in a small video with the rest of the first generation on 8 September 2020. Her Twitter account was created on July, but she only made her first tweet on her official introduction on 8 September. Her YouTube channel was created on 16 July, but she debuted on 13 September.

2020
Gura quickly rose in popularity. On 20 October, just 37 days after her debut, Gura overtook both Shirakami Fubuki and Inugami Korone to become the #1 most subscribed hololive channel on YouTube.

On 22 October, Gura became the first hololive member to reach 1 million subscribers and the third VTuber to do so after Kizuna Ai and Kaguya Luna. (although as of 24 October Kaguya Luna's subscriber count has fallen bellow the 1 million mark)
