Oozora Subaru (大空スバル) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber endorsed by hololive.

Introduction Video
Subaru's debut stream.

Physical Appearance
Subaru has a stereotypical tomboyish appearance, accentuated by her short hair, and her baseball fan attires, with a red with the white cap turned backward, a white with yellow-striped jersey, pair of white with red shorts and a pair of white tennis shoes with yellow laces. She also wears a pair of thigh high socks, the left one is white while the right one is red. she has tied to her left hip a yellow hollow plastic bat (used in chants during baseball games) with a yellow piece of fabric. she wears on her neck a blue pea whistle.

Personality

 * Is currently (role-playing as) mixed martial arts and esports manager. She is a tomboy (as suggested by her appearance), and treats everyone equally. She is a cheerful and lively girl, who is currently practicing in getting better at playing games.
 * Her freedom-loving and open personality imprint a deep impression in the viewer's minds, making viewers feel like running all the way under the sun.
 * She has an interesting aesthetic approach and strong managing ability, fills her livestream with constant laughter as she acts weird and makes all sorts of jokes.
 * Calls her fans "senpai", and has a tendency to say "desu（っす）" whenever she ends a sentence.
 * Has a strong performative spirit (performers in Japan usually refers to those who perform stand-up comedy), which is a breath of fresh air in Hololive which has mostly "cute" VTubers.

Background
Her Twitter account was opened on 10 August 2018 while her YouTube channel was created on 22 August although she did not start her activities on her channel until her introduction stream which was live on 17 September.

2019
At the end of a stream on 1 May, she announced that she would be getting a 3D model. She debuted her 3D model on 5 May 2019.

Events

 * On 4 April 2019, she made an appearance (as Subaru Duck) in hololive's collaboration with Dawn of the Breakers as one of the characters alongside Roboco, Aki Rosenthal, Natsuiro Matsuri, Shirakami Fubuki, Minato Aqua, Yuzuki Choco, and Ookami Mio. She later appears as her real body alongside Sakura Miko, Akai Haato, and Nakiri Ayame on 4 September.



Trivia

 * She has a nickname called "486" in China since her name "Subaru" has a similar sound to 486 when read in Mandarin. (Sì bā liù)
 * Her character designer is Shigure Ui who is also a VTuber. She originally did not make video contents herself but only appears in other (mostly Hololive) VTubers' videos before officially debuting on 18 May 2019. Other illustrators turned VTubers include Note Takehana, the illustrator for Shizuka Rin and Ienaga Mugi, and Kagura Nana, the illustrator for Nakiri Ayame.
 * Her debut video has her apologizing during the stream (achievement get: apologizes in your debut live-stream video), in which she also put up a Subaru version of the Jōnouchi Katsuya (from the manga series Yu-Gi-Oh! face. (That's the face you see in her introduction video.)
 * As mentioned above, due to her rare lively, tomboyish comedic element compared to other Hololive members, and a bug that has caused her Youtube view count dropping to zero, she is sometimes known as "sololive（ソロライブ）"
 * Likes to turn on Apple's Siri during livestreams, referring Siri as "Siri-chan". Sometimes Siri would make absurd comments which can lead to new memes created.

"All Right"

 * Subaru has installed a software that would automatically reply to the viewer's SuperChat. Whenever a SuperChat appears, a Subaru version of "Running Ganga （走るガンガー）", a neta from Astroganger would appear, as well as making a slightly seductive "All Right" sound effect, which eventually became a meme for Subaru. It also interrupts Subaru's speeches sometimes, causing the audience to laugh.

Donald the Duck and the Elder God (From Cthulhu Mythos)

 * One of her most infamous in-jokes is her impersonations of Donald the Duck during her ASMR streams. The joke was even taken further away during her collaboration live-stream with Roboco on 31 January, 2019 . The stream was intended to be the debut of her 3D model, but instead, Subaru appeared as a 3D render of a little white duck wearing her signature baseball cap.Oozora_Subaru_duck_running_gunga_meme.jpg
 * After getting advice from the same batch member Yuzuki Choco on how to perform ASMR, Subaru attempted to start her own ASMR stream, which turned out to be a disaster comedy. She started getting comments that she sounded like Donald the Duck after she started streaming, while others said it sounded like the low murmurs of the Elder Gods. She then attempted to divert the viewer's attention by making water effects (Choco sensei's oil lubricating sound effect), but the viewers again make the water splashing sound connection to Donald the Duck swimming and splashing water, or the Elder Gods' tentacles sliding over slippery surfaces. This has led to Subaru gaining the nickname "Duck" and "Elder God".
 * The "Elder God" saying is further confirmed due to Subaru's strange taste for aesthetics, such as her liking for glazed terracotta blocks (she merely stacked them together, instead of creating a pattern out of it), the blocks are given a nickname by Chinese fans as "Elder God Happy Blocks", or "blocks that makes the Elder God happy". Other hololive members such as Sakura Miko once commented that it "looked like someone puked on it".
 * Chinese viewers also like to type the term "san check" during or after they watch one of Subaru's video.

Interpersonal relationship(s) with other VTubers

 * Her open-minded nature has nothing to do with the first collaboration (after one week) she had with VTubers outside Hololive, since she only accidentally met Miamoko Keisuke when she was browsing Twitter. They found out that they were very compatible with each other during the stream, and continues to maintain a good relationship with each other. Their group is called 「舞スバ」.
 * Her collaboration with her character designer "mother" Shigure Ui しぐれうい is called "Ooz Family"
 * Created the "FAMS" group with Shirakami Fubuki, Nakiri Ayame, and Ookami Mio.
 * Mentioned that she has a biological (elder-)sister, who has a very similar tone and speech patterns to her. Subaru mentions that she is very feminine (in contrast to Subaru's tomboyish element). One day she realized her sister started purchasing new computers and other devices, which led to Subaru's realization that her sister also wanted to be a Vtuber. After discussing with her family, they decided not to interfere with each other's channel.
 * Has good relationship with Nakiri Ayame, which has led to many fans supporting their CP. (Ayasuba) (DogxDuck)
