Hizuki Miu

Hizuki Miu ( ヒヅキミウ, 日月咪玉 ) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber and the oldest member of WACTOR. She debuted in 2018 as part of the former VTuber unit Mirais, but she is now part of WACTOR's 0th generation as its only member.

Personality
Miu is a cheerful and lively VTuber with a charming voice and very dedicated to her fans. Being the oldest member from WACTOR and leader of the former "Mirais" unit, she is highly-admired by her peers and fans for her hard work and experience, and is often considered by both groups to be the "senpai" or most "idol-like" of the group. She also is very eager and curious about learning or trying out new things, such as languages and overseas culture. However, she considers herself very shy and remains very humble regarding her influence and career as a VTuber.

On the other hand, she can be a bit sassy at times, and occasionally unveils a "sadistic" or "S" side to her personality, which has made her go as far as boasting about being the leader and show dominance over her kouhais. She will also sometimes call and treat her fans as "perros" (Spanish for dogs), "spanking" them and thanking their superchats with "Nice, perro." However, this is just Miu being playful with chat and indulging their "masochistic" roleplay jokes.

She also has a thing for boobs, and isn't really that uncomfortable expressing it, although she does it mostly for the giggles.

Profile
Miu is an 18 year old foreign student from the future who loves to sing and can mix her own music. Her love for anime and manga of our era motivated her to stream through time to our present. Her dream is to be in charge of theme songs for videogames and anime.
