Shigure Ui

Shigure Ui (しぐれうい) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber and illustrator.

Personality
Ui's streams are regarded by fans as being extremely quiet, laid-back and mellow, owing to Ui's gentle and comparatively mature personality. Her art streams have also been noted as being very informative for aspiring digital artists.

In spite of this generally wholesome streaming persona, Ui has now and again let it slip that she really enjoys using crass or vulgar humor, and that she's an avid fan of a few "less than wholesome" professional artists associated with the Ecchi genre. She's also not above brutally teasing or making fun of her fans, especially when answering Q&A's.

Appearance
Ui is an unassuming college art student, with a conservative school uniform with a skirt and a beret and little fluff balls in her braids and collar.

Trivia

 * She is the character designer of Oozora Subaru from hololive. The first time she joined a stream of Subaru where she didn't appear as the character in her channel but in a mother's character which can be easily found in Internet. Then she became a Virtual YouTuber as Subaru requested her to do so.
 * She makes loud sound while typing and types in a very high speed.
 * Likes female high school student. Especially those in 17. But Ui said "I like all girls" in "Strongest Shigure Ui Decisive Battle" streaming when Subaru asked "what kind of girl is your cup of cake".
 * She sometimes streams using just an illustration of her 7 year old self, which is called loli-haishin in Japanese. She streamed in her 7 year old status for three times. All three times streaming are punishment for losing in games (However Ui never admitted that she is not good at games but conclude the losing to other reasons) while there are two punishment streaming is results of losing the Tetris game to Kenmochi Toya.
 * In three loli-haishin, the first one is a result of challenging Kenmochi Toya in her game streaming by chance. Ui lost and read marshmallow(an anonymous message service used mainly in Japan) from audiences in 7-year-old status.
 * The second loli-haishin is a pre-scheduled collaboration streaming where she played Tetris with Kenmochi Toya. The loser must sing for 1 hour in 60/40 scale of origin status and spcified status. Ui lost and became 7-year-old Ui again and sang for 1 hour in streaming.
 * The third one is an illust order, which must be finished in 7-year-old status, from Kusunoki Sio as Ui lost in the collaboration game streaming.
 * She called Kenmochi Toya as her "natural enemy" in her birthday streaming. While Kenmochi makes her become 7-year-old status several times, she drawed "Toko", which is femalized Kenmochi, in high school student status as well as in child status and published these illust to twitter.
 * Ui barely wins in almost all games. Ui-mama Nami(ういママ並み, means as strong as Ui mother, in which mother describes a character who makes people want to pamper to) have become an adjective describes someone that is not good at playing games.
 * Not good at English. In a streaming where she can not use Japanese or the stream must be stopped, she lasted for 11 minutes in total (strictly speaking she used Oozorakei at about 7 minutes which might be considered Japanese by English speakers but as a name it also makes sense). What's more she hardly started any conversation with audiences speaking English in the 11-minute streaming.
 * Ui's voice, as well as distinct mannerisms such as her laugh, have been noted by fans and even other VTubers as being extremely similar to those of hololive member Tsunomaki Watame. Oozora Subaru even claimed that when she watched Watame's debut stream she became confused and thought that it was actually Ui streaming under a new identity. The little fluff-balls in Ui's design are notably reminiscent of the texture of Watame's wool. The idea of a conspiracy where Ui and Watame are secretly the same person has become a minor running joke among both fan-bases.
 * Ui illustrated the light novel cover of "Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy". She is also the original character designer of it's anime adaptation by Doga Kobo.
