Haru Kim

Kim Haru is a Korean name with Kim being the family name and Haru being the first name; Shikikan is a title.

Kim Haru (김 하 루) is a female Korean-American English Twitch VTuber who debuted independently on 10 December 2020. She is known for being pleasant and welcoming, but also not afraid to speak her mind colorfully.

Personality
Haru is a 3rd generation succubus-human hybrid with a grandparent believed to be a greater-demon. As such, she has a personality that can vary from being extremely sweet and affectionate to utterly vicious and dangerous. Fortunately for most of her followers, her 200+ years as a supernatural bounty hunter in the human world has made her sensitive to frailty of her human friends, so she is known for being generally pleasant when she manifests in mortal realms.

Haru is infamous for her habit of hosting very long streams and for her occasional tendency to stream at random intervals, indicating that she has almost super-human energy levels. Her Live2D debut stream was well over 9 hours long, which was uncommon for most debuts. She is also known for her relatively open collaboration with many other VTubers, sometimes even inviting the audience to join her in multiplayer sessions mid-stream. Haru's followers attribute this friendliness to her expressed desire to get away from the roughness of her past as a hunter and try out a more peaceful existence as a VTuber.

Though she does her best to remain "seiso," Haru's nature as a half-succubus does occasionally emerge and she does not shy away from risky banter with fans in chat. She is also an avid fan of many popular manga and loves fan-art, both seiso and spicy. Haru is also known for legitimately enjoying her time with her community outside streams; her accessibility via social media and her discord server has fostered loyalty among her followers.
