Hakuja (库伽/Kù jiā) is a male Chinese VUP (Virtual UP; bilibili content creators are nicknamed "UP") affiliated with VirtuaReal, NIJISANJI's Chinese Virtual Liver branch, as part of its fourteenth generation (aka 147) alongside Koxia, Yomiya, Rhea and Miyu.

Profile
"An assassin, but not at all ruthless. Every time a sharp blade is unsheathed, it's just to read a heart."

- Hakuja

There are big and small mistakes. With regards to the Snake Clan, the first small mistake was when choosing a test subject for a piece of not yet fully-developed enhancement technology, they selected the low-born Hakuja; while the second small mistake was making an outrageous miscalculation of strength with a boss’ wealthy second son as an assassin target. The big mistake after that was to directly judge Hakuja's assassination failure as an experiment failure; and the final fatal mistake was to prepare to dispose of the failed subject Hakuja, pushing this youth who just recently became the strongest assassin in the history of the Snake Clan towards the other side. After washing the Snake Clan's den with blood, the disoriented snake youth slowly walked onto the street for the first time, somewhat at a loss. However he very soon got to know new friends- a cute yet arrogant cat girl who enjoys observing humanity; after that the former assassination target also brought him a new job. 错误有大有小，对于蛇族来说，第一个小错误是为一项还不成熟的强化技术选择试验品时，选中了出身低微的库伽；而第二个小错误则是对作为暗杀目标的富家二少爷做出了错误到离谱的实力判断；接着的大错误是将库伽的暗杀失败直接推定为实验失败；而最后致命的错误就是准备将失败品库伽处理掉，将这位刚刚成为蛇族有史以来最强刺客的少年推向了对立面. 血洗了蛇族巢穴之后，蛇生迷茫的少年第一次慢慢走在街上，有些不知所措. 不过他很快结识了新的朋友——可爱又傲娇、喜欢观察人类的猫娘，接着曾经的暗杀目标也给他带来了一份新的工作.

Lore

 * 23:08 on an unspecified day, an unnamed person (MC of self-introduction video) waited outside their house. Black double-ponytails had told them that there would be a weird guy visiting who needed their help. He hadn’t shown up for three hours so they decided to go sleep, but was startled by a figure in their unlit bedroom. Upon asking how they may help, Hakuja handed them a box, containing a letter and card reader; this was his past. Every time he recalled it, he would lose control and hurt others. MC turned on their computer and plugged in the card reader, accessing Hakuja's consciousness. In his memory, Hakuja was inside a freezing laboratory, where those locked up in there have become monsters, or were about to. A man hands Hakuja a photo of Yomiya, his assassination target. When Hakuja asked for the reward, he got slapped and called a tool. MC sent the message, “You are not a tool!”
 * Hakuja did not kill Yomiya, claiming he had no interest, but the truth may have been that Kamiya (Yomiya's alter ego) was stronger than him. At this point, he had realised that if Yomiya was dead, it would cause panic, which the man can take advantage of. As he knew too much now, the man pressed a button, and acid started to corrode Hakuja's mechanical system; there is a bomb bound to his mechanical core. MC sent “It’s not over yet!” and Hakuja drew his knife. Back to reality, Hakuja seems like a completely new person. The bomb fragments from his sea of consciousness have been removed and his emotional state is back to normal. He jumps out of the window, leaving the letter: “We will meet again.”
