Shirakami Fubuki

Shirakami Fubuki (白上フブキ) is a female Japanese Virtual Youtuber. She is part of a unit inside hololive called hololive Gamers (ホロライブゲーマーズ) alongside Ookami Mio, Nekomata Okayu, and Inugami Korone.

Personality
Fubuki is usually always cheerful and excited, singing little songs and making many in-jokes. She is shy when confronted with new circumstances, and when embarrassed she "hides" at the bottom of the screen with only her fox-ears peeking up. She becomes enthralled in games and has cute conversations with scripted game characters, or voice-acts as characters or makes sound effects.

That said however, she has a well known sadistic side, shown most often when playing "Project Winter" with other Vtubers. She has described herself as a 'hunter' and has displayed both extreme skill, to the point of nearly winning a 1 v 4 battle on all her own in the game, and a methodical thought process, to collaborating with fellow ingame traitors to purposely lining up her shots when shooting at a wolf with Matsuri in an attempt to kill her early and make it look like an accident.

Background
Her Twitter account was opened on 19 May 2018 while her YouTube channel was created on 23 May. although she did not start her activity on YouTube until a live-stream on 1 June. Besides YouTube, she also does live-streams on her OPENREC.tv and Mirrativ channels.

Trivia

 * Fubuki is a fox-girl (specifically an Arctic Fox), but is often labeled by viewers as other animals, either accidentally (by newbies) or sometimes intentionally by regular viewers who wish to provoke a cute reaction. She is most commonly misidentified as a cat-girl; a joke which Fubuki routinely plays along with.
 * "Fubuki" directly translates from Japanese to English as "blizzard", while "Shirakami" roughly translates to "white-out" (as in the atmospheric condition); appropriate given her identity as an Arctic Fox.
 * The Japanese onomatopoeia for foxes is "kon", therefore that sound - and the vegetable "corn", which sounds similar - is one of her in-jokes, often seen or heard in her channel and Twitter.
 * Fubuki's channel, and potentially even hololive itself, received an increase in general exposure after Fubuki uploaded a video titled "Im. Scatman" to her YouTube channel on 24 October 2019. The 56-second video features Fubuki attempting to cover a verse of the 1995 song Scatman by Scatman John, devoid of any background-track. The video proceeded to go somewhat viral, getting a higher level of recommendation from YouTube's algorithm and becoming the single most viewed video on Fubuki's channel. Fubuki would later release a 3D remake of the video, and these uploads have received numerous musical remixes from hololive fans. Referring to Fubuki by the pseudonym of "The Scatman" has become a meme among English-speaking fans. Fubuki's "Im. Scatman" video is frequently cited by numerous English-speaking fans of hololive as the first hololive video they ever saw and what allowed them to discover its VTubers in the first place.
 * She is not good with the English language - her intro video had the English version of her name quite misspelled ("Fhunbuki").
