Yayanehi

Yayanehi (ヤヤネヒ) is a Japanese Virtual Youtuber that debuted on March 26th, 2018. They are a god that came to Earth with a casual intention of taking over the world, but they have decided to simply interact with humanity for the time being.

Personality
Yayanehi is presented as quiet and reserved, speaking softly and addressing their viewers respectfully with honorifics. They are often tired due to the earliness of their streams, and this furthers their soft-spoken presentation; she sometimes combats this with a shot of alcohol. As a god, Yayanehi often distances themself from their audience, referring to themself as Kami (God) and everyone else as Ningen-san (humans) when speaking about current events or places they've visited. She claims to have an ambition for world domination, though she hasn't put forth any efforts to this goal yet.

Beneath the presentation of a god, though, lies a kind, sometimes clumsy being. They love eating curry and playing the piano, but they largely spend their time speaking with their audience during streams. They hold a morning show on most days of the week; during this stream, they speak with their audience, describe the weather in the Higashi-Nakano district of Tokyo, read that day's star-oracle, and play piano. They occasionally stream games like ArkKnights; they enjoy these games, but sometimes grow frustrated if it isn't going as planned. This can lead to a breach in their usual demeanor. They have only streamed one horror game as of December 2020.

Beyond this, Yayanehi enjoys singing and creating videos. As such, they've uploaded multiple covers of various songs to their channel, as well as one original song and many short jingles.

Background
Yayanehi came into existence 112 years ago, but only came to Earth within the past few years. They currently reside in a world of their own creation along with CV.Utada. This world is very similar to the human world, but with minute differences, such as the non-existence of certain places. Within this world, they live in a small house located in an unoccupied room. The location of this room is unknown, but Yayanehi seems to have some ties to Higashi-Nakano, Tokyo and its weather.

2018
On Mar 26, Yayanehi debuted, uploading mostly short comedy sketches and jingles. They also uploaded their first cover song this year.

2020
On February 29th, Yayanehi performed an overhaul on their 3D model, and this version is still (presumably) in use.

Yayanehi began uploading many more cover songs, as well as an original song. Yayanehi also began streaming their daily "Morning Show" in August, which has become their main, and most recognized, content.

Yayanehi was mentioned in a Youtube video by an anime Youtuber outlining indie Virtual Youtubers. Following this video, Yayanehi begun growing a larger Overseas audience, growing from under 500 subscribers before the video to over 6000 by December 2020.

Though it had been approved for monetization prior to this date, Yayanehi's Youtube channel became monetized on November 21st (JST).

Supporting Cast and Fanbase

 * CV.Utada (CV.宇多田) Is the pink cat appearing on Yayanehi's clothing, acting as a companion to Yayanehi. CV.Utada, being nothing more than a cat's head, desires a body, and has also frequently expressed a desire for thickness (厚み). CV.Utada sometimes joins Yayanehi on stream, and tends to poke fun at and bicker with Yayanehi. He also frequently posts facts about Yayanehi on his twitter page. As of December 2020 he has begun streaming on Twitch.
 * Yayanehi's fans have been labeled as their family (家族) but, as stated earlier, the fans are usually referred to as Ningen-san (人間さん). Due to Yayanehi's status as a god, many fans have united under the idea that they are a religious cult, though Yayanehi denies this; CV.Utada is the pope of this supposed cult, and supports the idea against Yayanehi's wishes.

Trivia

 * CV.Utada runs an unofficial fan server known as the バチ缶 (Vatican). This name is a pun on bachi (バチ), which means divine punishment, and 缶, which is pronounced Kan, and also means the word "can" when translated to English, meaning the server is a Can of Divine Punishment.
 * Yayanehi's audience that refers to themselves as "cultists" tend to don yellow raincoats, as CV.Utada once said that Yayanehi loves curry, but thinks of all yellow things as curry. These cultists wish to become offerings to Yayanehi, but Yayanehi has stated that humans taste bad, and offer her no substance.
 * Yayanehi's greeting (ぽっこんつ おはネヒ) is a misspelling of the word ぽんこつ, which means trash/junk, followed by a combination of おはよう (good morning) and the last two characters of their name (ネヒ).
 * Yayanehi always denotes her timezone as YST (Yayanehi Standard Time) while streaming or making announcements. This timezone is identical to JST (Japanese Standard time).
