Han Chiho


 * This is a Korean name; The family name is Han

Han Chiho (한치호) is a male Korean Virtual Youtuber who is a member of Nijisanji's Korean Branch, Nijisanji KR.

Chiho is an old Taoist wizard and legendary storyteller who was sealed in the past and revived in modern times. As a Taoist wizard, Chiho exterminates youkai but he currently only exterminates those that are actively attacking humans. Because of this, Chiho was able to adapt to the streaming environment quickly. Rather than performing his powers, he found that he wanted to adapt quickly to modern culture and fit in with people. He started streaming after finding out that in modern times, one can communicate with people from further away through streaming.

Personality
Chiho is a hardworking soft-spoken gentleman. There are often streams where he’s working while accompanying his viewers and talking to them where viewers can see his serious yet gentle side. He is kind and friendly, he likes to joke around with his colleagues and tease his juniors. [?]

He is easily flustered by any donations, memberships, and his viewers try to use pick-up line with him. He is a pure soul, where one of his viewers asks him how to get close with their crush, Chiho was confused for a bit before answering “Eat pizza and watch a movie’’. [?]

Chiho does have sadistic side to his demeanour that fans affectionately refer to as "Dark Chiho". When he plays as the Killer and chases after players in Dead by Daylight, he often says, “Do you want to be my friend?” before proceeding to hang them while laughing happily. He’s quite possessive toward his mascot, Imja, as no one is allowed to touch Imja except him [?].

Background
Han Chiho created his Youtube Channel on 31 October 2019, and made his debut on 15 November 2019 as a talent of separate but now disbanded talent agency, "541 E&C". On 25 January, 2020, 541 E&C ended their activities as an agency and he, along with the remaining members of the agency, were then transferred to Nijisanji KR.
