Trivia

 * Likes: Gummy, Soba
 * Dislikes: Dark Places
 * During his debut tweets and stream, Roberu presented himself as someone formal and polite, an act that did not last even a week into his debut. Nowadays, Roberu feels rather embarrassed by that, something his friends and viewers usually take advantage of to tease him over.
 * He calls the Super Horn in Mario Kart 8 the "Chanchakadondon" (チャンチャカドンドン) and refuses to call it anything else. This has lead to various jokes on his channel with the use of this phrase and is also used by his viewers in his chat whenever Roberu takes brief breaks in the middle of a stream.
 * On 18 June 2020, Shirakami Fubuki started a hashtag on Twitter labeled "朝食ロベル" (Choushoku Roberu) as a play on Roberu's name and later that day streamed herself drawing Roberu as bacon. The hashtag ended up trending in Japan in the number 5 spot and earned Roberu enough subscribers to hit the 20,000 milestone.
 * Due to the surprisingly similar color palette, design details and their strong chemistry, he's sometimes considered to be the "brother" of AniMare's Kazami Kuku.
 * His overseas fans call him "son" and he doesn't understand where the nickname came from.
 * The first instance of someone calling him "son" was in one of his Mario Kart 8 streams, when someone in chat commented the meme, "Are ya winning son?", and he responded, in English, "YEAH! I'm Roberu Yukoku, I'm fine, thank you, and you? I like... Mario Kart 8. Because... fine!".
 * He made a song about him being a "winning son", called "Im winning son!!!!" in his English singing stream, where he sung songs in English that didn't exist.
 * Later, Iofi explained to him the origins of the joke.
