Profile
"I was raised by my grandmother since I was a child, so I like gentle things. Wearing a kimono passed down from generation to generation by the Yakushiji family, and carrying a sword as a talisman. The character is basically very careless. Although he is afraid of loneliness, he is not used to lively places. It is the type that will be addicted to the game."

Background
Suzaku was first announced as an additional member to holostars' first generation on 2 September 2019, along with Arurandeisu and a then-unknown figure, which was later confirmed to be Rikka. Suzaku's YouTube channel and Twitter were created on 14 August 2019. On 7 September, he made his YouTube debut and uploaded his first video.
