Todoroki Hajime

Todoroki Hajime (轟はじめ) is a Japanese-speaking Virtual YouTuber affiliated with hololive DEV_IS, a branch of hololive production. She debuted in 2023 as part of the unit ReGLOSS alongside Hiodoshi Ao, Otonose Kanade, Ichijou Ririka, and Juufuutei Raden.

Profile
A jane-of-all-trades seeking to be the #1 badass in the universe. Why the universe? Why "badass"? Nobody knows. She’s the restless sort and, to no surprise, enjoys physical activities. Also to no surprise, she’s not good with tools and equipment, meaning she’s a disaster-class in cooking. Her trusty partner Banpen teaches her every day about how to be a badass.

Personality
In contrast to her title of "badass", Hajime has a child-like playfulness; this is further characterized by her signature lisp, which is noted by many to make it more difficult to catch her words correctly than that of Sakura Miko's; however, it becomes a very clear voice when she sings.

Appearance
She has short blonde hair with streaks of lilac and two small pigtails under a white hat with lilac eyes as well.

Background
hololive DEV_IS was initially teased during the conclusion of hololive's '''SPLASH PARTY! Night''' concert with a short video on 27 August 2023. The teaser was also shared later that day on both hololive's Twitter account and hololive DEV_IS YouTube channel on 27 August 2023. The channel itself was created on 21 August.

Hajime also made her first tweet on this date. Hajime's teaser video from hololive DEV_IS channel was also uploaded to her personal channel, now fully displaying her face.

Hajime's YouTube channel was created on 21 July 2023, and her Twitter account was also created on this month.

On 7 September, hololive DEV_IS's YouTube channel uploaded another video this time showing ReGLOSS' members actual models and appearances outside of their unified group clothes.
