Fuwa Minato

Fuwa Minato (不破湊) is a male Japanese Virtual YouTuber and a member of the Nijisanji group. He debuted alongside Shirayuki Tomoe and Gwelu Os Gar, forming a trio known as "Yaoukoku" (夜王国, lit. "Night Kingdom").

Profile
A host who can't drink alcohol, who started live-streaming to make friends with similar interests to him.

Personality
Suiting for that of a host, Fuwa has a friendly and approachable personality. He enjoys singing and even kickstarted his debut livestream with a surreal cover of CLUB PRINCE's "Love Dokkyun"

The amusing cover has set the tone for the rest of his livestreams, where he is often caught saying random, nonsensical things, making noises to himself, and making equally nonsensical thumbnails for his videos - because of this his fans often say he is brain dead.

He will often stream for extended periods of time, sometimes for ten hours or more.

Background
Fuwa made his YouTube debut on 30 November.

2020
On 29 November, Fuwa revealed his first alternate costume.

2021
On 28 May, Fuwa's 3D model unveiling stream was announced. The stream was held on 4 June.

From 2 until 31 August, Fuwa hosted a radio exercise program on his channel as a challenge. The program was live every morning from 6.30am JST. The news got picked out by YouTube Japan. The rule was: if he overslept/late the challenge failed and the program will ended. Almost everyday different Nijisanji livers joined him as guest(s) and on the final day of the challenge he invited all livers who had been supporting him throughout his journey of waking up and exercising every morning.

On 7 September, it was announced that Fuwa, Hoshikawa Sara, and Yashiro Kizuku were releasing time-limited perfumes on U.Health&Beauty ONLINE.
