Kyoshi Akazora

Kyoshi Akazora (赤空キョシ) is a Male English/Filipino Dual-Avatar VTuber that mainly focuses on streaming via YouTube every day (with Twitch streams happening on a random schedule), Some of his VODs from Twitch are also accessible on his YouTube channel.

Personality
Kyoshi is a wildcard, but his enjoyment mostly comes out of his chat's reactions to games he's playing. Known by his audience for being a gummy-loving Tsundere, he hates compliments and is easily flustered, frequently telling people to shut their mouth and to not call him cute or a "softboi", Although his chat doesn't listen and ends up teasing him more, to his dismay. He loves communicating with his chat regardless, which ends up in him getting distracted at times.

He's a hardcore rhythm gamer, originating from his love for Dance Dance Revolution then moving onto Taiko no Tatsujin, in which he spent most of his childhood playing rhythm games. As with most who play a lot of rhythm games, he has shown to be proficient in rhythm games he has not played before, as if he was a natural. Rhythm games he plays nowadays are osu! (Taiko mainly, Mania secondary), Muse Dash, and Sound Voltex (SDVX).

He claims to be mediocore with modern FPS games, but is known to be an experienced Counter-Strike player and have claimed to be extremely good with Twitch-shooters such as Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, and etc. He's also very experienced with racing games, but mostly focuses on the Arcade Racers such as NFS and Forza Horizon.

One of his strong areas are horror games, his favorite being the Silent Hill and Fatal Frame series. Known for not reacting to jumpscares, His "technique" for dealing with horror games is by putting himself in the character's shoes and trying to make light of the situation by acting tough or unfazed. Although he has noted that he hates being chased in horror games.

He also has a love for the Pokémon series, stemming from his childhood.

Profile
Dragons are usually fearsome creatures, but Kyoshi is one who encompasses laziness and freedom. He's notorious for acting tough but that's only a face, in fact he yearns for attention and enjoys just being around other people. Although sometimes he tends to fall face first when it comes to head-on situations, he does get the job done sometimes. He loves to playfully bully some of his friends much to their dismay, but it's all in good fun.

Kyoshi has a very Tsundere-centered attitude. A lot of his viewers bully him by calling him cute and adorable, in which he calmly rebut in his Dragon form. While on his Neko form, he's more chaotic, short-fused, and loud, and hates being called cute, to the point of having a belt that says so.

He decided to practice turning into a proper human so as to not attract attention to his Neko form whenever he's out and about. Eventually he was able to learn how to perfect this art.

Lore
Akazora Kyoshi is part of a race of Dragons that are adept in the art of Polymorph. Because of this, his race is hunted by humans and have decided to exile themselves on an island in the Bermuda Triangle. Kyoshi grew up not knowing what humans are, and because of his boring life at home, he decided to abandon the island and visit humans for the first time.

He ended up at a cosplay convention as a result and was given the misconception that the "Nekomimi" cosplayers are what humans looked like, so he polymorphed into a Neko-girl despite his male gender.

He got popular enough that he was attracting too much attention from those that hunt his species, so he polymorphed into a normal human later on, replacing his Dragon and Neko form. Although because of his genes also containing Kitsune DNA from his biological father, he accidentally polymorphed into a Kitsune while changing his Dragon form, although this has been rectified.

Debut
Although Kyoshi originally started making videos on VRChat back in 2017, he had a soft-debut as a VTuber in July 2019 with his playthrough of "The Forest" as his Wolf avatar from VRChat. Unfortunately he stopped doing this due to health concerns and his internet environment (at the time he was using DSL), but in May 2021 he has since then recovered and have obtained better internet and streaming equipment to properly start as a VTuber.
