Yuzuki Choco

Yuzuki Choco (癒月ちょこ) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting as part of its second generation of VTubers alongside Minato Aqua, Murasaki Shion, Nakiri Ayame and Oozora Subaru.

Profile
"Good evening, my cute students! It's your teacher, Choco!"

A health doctor from the Demonic-Realm Academy. Has a high reputation around the school. It was told that the line of male students never ends. She loves snacks quite a lot, although one time her desk was caked with food wrappers, and she was then scolded badly.

Personality
With a way of speaking that blurs the line between maternity and seduction, Choco is as sweet as her name suggests. Because she blurs the line between erotic and motherliness so much to the verge of pointless nitpicking and is so unapologetically feminine as a result, she has caused various confusion and mixed responses as to how others see her. For example, while Aragami Oga has described her as unironically "family-friendly", YouTube previously de-moneitized her for being "too sexy". Even the animators behind Holo Grafiti seem to take advantage of this facet, as she has been depicted gently rocking Rushia to get her to calm down one episode, but provocatively depicted in the next.

As a former school nurse, she is cautious about her audience's wellbeing and health. She is most well known for her ASMR streams that soothe and relax listeners, though some do feel heat from the erotic undertones. True to her old life as a teacher, she is very knowledgeable and will sometimes take up the role of a teacher to pop quiz other holoIdols as challenges. Though being a demon, sometimes her sense of humor can be rather morbid, such as the time in her birthday stream in which she promised to take Oozora Subaru to a fun haunted house of horrors, before becoming the horror herself trying to cook the ducky idol alive, toying with her life.

She greets her viewers with "Good evening, my cute students. Cho-kon!~♪"

Background
Her YouTube channel was created on 19 August 2018, with her Twitter account opening the same month. Her YouTube debut was on 5 September 2018.

2019
On 22 May, she announced that she would get her 3D model. that would be revealed on 25 May. She debuted her 3D model on said date, however the stream is no longer available.

On 25 July, she debuted her second 2D costume, a nurse uniform.

On 25 August, she published on Twitter that she would get a 3D swimsuit costume. Later on 27 August she debuted her 3D swimsuit, this stream is no longer available.

During October she started having problems with YouTube and her ASMR videos. These videos likely caused the demonetization of her channel, as these videos are made private or erased shortly after streaming.

Sub Channel
As result of the demonetization of her channel, on 4 December she announced on Twitter the creation of a sub channel, with her first stream taking place on 5 December.

It is worth noticing that unlike Aki and Haato that also created secondary channels because of demonetization issues and quickly stopped updating their sub channels, Choco actually updates both of her channels frequently. Even after regaining the monetization of her main channel.

2020
On 1 January, she announced on her Twitter that she would get her third 2D costume, a kimono in celebration of the new year, the costume was later revealed the same day during a stream in her sub channel. This costume was actually designed nearly a year earlier, as this design can be seen in miniatures of her main channel as early as 4 January 2019.

On 19 January, she published on Twitter that the reapplication for the remonetization of her channel was rejected.

On 24 January, along with the other hololive girls up to the third generation, she debuted her 3D idol outfit at hololive's 1st fes. Nonstop Story.

On 1 February, she recovered the monetization on her main channel. She confirmed this in Twitter the next day.

She debuted her updated next day on 29 July, featuring more facial expressions, she can move and turn in more directions, her hair was also updated to reflect her head turns, one notable change is that her model was updated so she can now wear a black blouse to cover her cleavage if she wants to, her tail also received movement along with her legs and the lower half of her coat, her model is now in line with the model capabilities of hololive members from the GAMERS unit onwards.

On 16 October, hololive's Twitter account announced that Choco, Houshou Marine, Shirogane Noel and Murasaki Shion would get new 2D costumes.
