Shigure Ui

Shigure Ui (しぐれうい) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber and illustrator.

Personality
Ui's streams are regarded by fans as being extremely quiet, laid-back and mellow, owing to Ui's gentle and comparatively mature personality. Her art streams have also been noted as being very informative for aspiring digital artists.

In spite of this generally wholesome streaming persona, Ui has now and again let it slip that she really enjoys using crass or vulgar humor, and that she's an avid fan of a few "less than wholesome" professional artists associated with the Ecchi genre. She's also not above brutally teasing or making fun of her fans, especially when answering Q&A's.

Ui is an unassuming college art student, with a conservative school uniform with a skirt and a beret and little fluff balls in her braids and collar.

Trivia

 * She is the character designer of Oozora Subaru from hololive.
 * She sometimes streams using just an illustration of her 7 year old self.
 * Ui's voice, as well as distinct mannerisms such as her laugh, have been noted by fans and even other VTubers as being extremely similar to those of hololive member Tsunomaki Watame. Oozora Subaru even claimed that when she watched Watame's debut stream she became confused and thought that it was actually Ui streaming under a new identity. The little fluff-balls in Ui's design are notably reminiscent of the texture of Watame's wool. The idea of a conspiracy where Ui and Watame are secretly the same person has become a minor running joke among both fan-bases.
 * Ui illustrated the light novel cover of "Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy". She is also the original character designer of it's anime adaptation by Doga Kobo.
