Tadano Rei

Tadano Rei (ただのれゐ) is an independent female Japanese Virtual YouTuber. In 2018, her videos were limited to only pre-recorded commentaries while playing video games. She has since evolved multiple times into her current form, where she streams an ever-changing repertoire of content on a daily basis.

Personality
Cheery, high-energy, and always eager to present. Tadano Rei goes in full-swing during her streams, often trying to entertain viewers by actively responding to their messages and trying her best at video games. She usually streams in a cute, treble voice in standard Japanese throughout most of her streams and videos, but is able to switch registers for dramatic effect. It is not uncommon for Rei to use a rougher voice to emphasize a point, or lapse into Kansai-ben when speaking off-the-cuff. A voice actress with many talents, Rei often shows off her impressions of Kirby, Toad, Pikachu, Togepi, and more characters and archetypes.

Rei started her Vtuber journey to give back to society, as she always had kind people in her life. This is evident in her burning passion to bring smiles to and create energy for her viewers. She explicitly wants to be a bridge that connects Japan with the world, and incorporates both Japanese and English in her streams to that effect. She is a very endearing figure to her fans, always expresses gratitude towards her viewers for dropping by to watch her streams, and constantly promises to keep working hard.

Her undying love for all things Dragon Ball is well-known and comes up frequently in streams. She is also very fond of cats, often making cat-like noises as an attempt to entertain her fans.

She dislikes lewd topics, and actively ask her fans to avoid the subject.

Tadano Rei's appearance varied since her initial debut. Currently, she is 155cm (5'1") tall, donning a frilly Miko outfit with sleeves that resemble a jacket.
