Kaburaki Roco

Kaburaki Roco (鏑木ろこ) is a Japanese Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI, debuting as part of the unit "Idios" (いでぃおす) alongside Igarashi Rika, Koshimizu Toru, Ishigami Nozomi, Sophia Valentine, Kuramochi Meruto, and Shishido Akari. Previously, she was enrolled as a student in VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA).

Profile
Roco is an 18-year-old freshman in college. She is looking for friends to help me reopen her favorite local amusement park with her own hands.

On the weekend, she handles the leaflet by wearing the mascot costume to find friends but still cannot find one.

Appearance
She has medium length blonde hair with hair buns and two tiny bows in her bangs. She wears a black cap with the number 65 and green eyes. She wears a mostly dark blue over coat and a light blue jacket underneath with a two toned hood and white shoes with mismatched socks.

Personality
Since her very first introduction as a VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY trainee, Roco has been very talkative and creative on her streams; some examples of her creativity include her debut stream, in which instead of a typical introduction like her debut-mates, she presented it in form of a company orientation of what would be her own amusement park; and the monetization pre-party stream, where she did a "pseudo-superchat reading" using messages submitted from her fans, something that was originated from one of her streams during VTA era.

Post-debut, Roco often takes advantage of her inexperience in gaming, making fresh reactions to already-popular games like Minecraft, Pokémon Scarlet and Splatoon 3; she also regularly hosts a special chatting/zatsudan stream where she presents a report of her sightseeing.

Despite having the gaps in officially debuting under NIJISANJI for almost a year and half a year respectively, Roco still sees her fellow ex-VTA groups Ranunculus and VOLTACTION as friends like her debut-mates, even expressing her agony over treating them as her senpais publicly.
