Unnämed

Unnämed (often referred to as 'U-san') is a Japanese English-speaking streamer and singer-songwriter on YouTube, referring to themselves as a "musician with Live2D". In conjunction with releasing original songs and covers, they also stream on YouTube and do live spaces on their Twitter.

Appearance
They have two versions of their 2D model, black and white, with blue and yellow eyes respectively. While not featured in their model, their reference sheet also includes designs for Mephistopheles, a dog-like demon featured in their lore video.

Personality
Unnämed is a singer with a powerful and androgynous voice. Their vocal range is very wide, allowing them to hit angelic high notes as well as lower tones. Because of their love for rock music, they prefer to use chest voice to perform high notes as much as they can. Singing is their main hobby and passion, and they have a deep love for music and performing.

They are playful and can be loud, with streams featuring them screaming frequently. They are also an emotional person (as mentioned on a Twitter space) who puts a lot of feeling into their singing, as shown when they accidentally cried while singing Kokoronashi on stream. Additionally, they are a kind and caring person with much appreciation for their fans, friends, and community.

Background
Initially, there was no umlaut in their name.

On 18 December 2022 (JST), they streamed for the first time with nothing shown on stream. During the stream, they introduced themself as someone without a name yet, with no future plans but started streaming so their singing would reach out to the people they love. They proceeded to sing guitar rendition of songs, including 'The Beginning' by ONE OK ROCK and 'Kaen' by Queen Bee. Unnamed ended the stream by thanking the viewers and telling them to smile. The stream had 53k concurrent viewers and was unarchived.

Since then, they would start Twitter Spaces randomly, only to be deleted afterwards.

On 5 February 2023, they released their first original "Summer Song" along with their new name "Unnämed".

Unnämed would then continue to do unarchived livestreams and Twitter Spaces, only keeping the song release afterparty ones.

Live2D Debut
Originally, their Live2D debut was scheduled on 28 May 2023 (10PM JST). However, due to video-editing issues, the stream was delayed to 29 May 2023 (12AM JST), two hours later than initially planned. Unnämed opened up a Twitter Space half an hour before the debut stream started, explaining the issue.
