Sanagi Yuzu

Sanagi Yuzu (蛾虫ユズ) is an independent English VTuber who debuted on 12 June 2021 and is partnered on Twitch. She currently streams on Twitch as Yuzu and uploads highlight content on YouTube while occasionally posting meme content on TikTok.

Profile
Sanagi Yuzu (蛾虫ユズ) is a silk moth spirit based on the Japanese Silk Moth. She was farmed for her high quality silk for hundreds of years. While confined, she lost count of the of days she spent in her cell, which resulted in her forgetting her age and growing a distrust in humans. Her only salvation was a small moth spirit named "Koga" (translates to: "little moth" in Japanese) who would share a Yuzu fruit with her on a nightly basis. Suddenly, Koga stopped showing up for weeks, and she feared the guards may have caught him. She was then suddenly freed by a mysterious figure and found Koga waiting under the Yuzu tree for another fruit to pick. She explained Koga went missing because he was waiting for the tree to bear more fruit as it was out of season. As for the mysterious figure, she explained on her debut stream that it was Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen who broke her out, and that he is "packing." She now streams from a shrine in the spirit realm to determine if she can return to live with humans once again.

Personality
Yuzu is a friendly streamer who often gets bullied by her chat. She cracks a lot of lewd jokes on stream and is often bonked by chat because of it. She has no sense of direction and mispronounces words often. When showered with love by her chat, she reluctantly accepts and returns it. After realizing she has opened up to them, she would turn around and tell chat that she despises them in true tsundere-like fashion. Her god-tier "ara ara" has caused much of her chat to refer to her as "moth mommy" or "moth nee-san." Yuzu is also well versed with modern-day meme culture and TikTok trends as shown on her twitter and tiktok.

Despite her lewd and tsundere nature, she has a very wholesome stream and chat. At times, she may suffer from slight impostor syndrome worry that her content won't be appreciated by others. Upon hearing this, her chat will stop bullying her and give her headpats by spamming her headpat emote, reassuring her that she is beyond S-tier as a content creator.

Yuzu is also a cultured individual, referred to by many as having great taste in video games, as well as anime. She has outwardly expressed her love for BL (Boys Love) but calls it bacon and lettuce to shrug off her fujoshi nature. She also prefers thighs to boobs, and has complained that artists tend to draw her with huge booba unless she specifies otherwise.

Background
Yuzu's model first appeared on the internet via a twitter post on 1 February 2021. Since then, she has given many teasers to her voice, personality and other features of her model on twitter. Her first TikTok post was uploaded on 26 May 2021. Her debut was announced on 30 May 2021 via twitter. Her first stream was a test stream to ensure her assets were all in check, occurring on 10 June 2021. To her surprise, there were an average of 70 viewers for the guerrilla stream.

Mascot and Fans

 * Her pet, Koga, is another moth spirit, whose favorite fruit is the Yuzu fruit, hence Yuzu's first name. Koga is a fan favorite after being perceived as dead in her lore video.
 * Koga may or may not have laser beam eye powers, which is why she threatens to use him as a weapon in one of her emotes.
 * Once Yuzu hit partner, it was confirmed as canon that Koga has laser eye beam powers as shown in one of her animated emotes.Koga.png
 * Her fanbase is known as the LampChamps, a moth-themed play on words to the commonly memed term "PogChamps." On occasional subscriptions, Yuzu will say "I guess you are my little LampChamp, come here." In an endearing way.
 * The LampChamps previously went to war on whether Yuzu is a "moth mommy" or "moth onee-san" (although Yuzu didn't believe she deserved either of these titles). To settle these qualms, Yuzu started a poll on stream to decide which the LampChamps were to call her. The poll resulted in a perfect 50/50.
 * Yuzu's fanbase also has a Minecraft server dedicated to multiple different factions amongst her fans. These factions include but are not limited to: The Church of Moth, The Church of Yuzu, The Church of Lamp, House Sanagi, House Yuzu, Cult of Lamp, Cathedral of the Sun, and others.
 * On 8 August, 2021, Yuzu's LampChamps gathered together lead by one of her mods, Gucci, to give Yuzu a day of appreciation. Unbeknownst to her until the large reveal, the day was filled with a 3000% Hype Train, along with fireworks in the Minecraft server, and a Kudoboard with loving messages from her fan base.
