Hizuki Miu

Hizuki Miu ( ヒヅキミウ, 日月咪玉 ) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber and the oldest member of WACTOR. She debuted in 2018 as part of the former VTuber unit Mirais, but she is now part of WACTOR's 0th generation as its only member.

Personality
Miu is a cheerful, lively and kind VTuber with a charming voice and very dedicated to her fans. Being the oldest member from WACTOR and leader of the former "Mirais" unit, she is highly-admired by her peers and fans for her hard work and experience, and is often considered by both groups to be the "idol" or "senpai" of the group. Despite this, she considers herself shy and remains very humble regarding her influence and career as a VTuber.

On the other hand, she also possesses an occasional "sadistic" or "S" side to her personality. This has made her go as far as boasting about being the leader and show dominance over her kouhais. She will also sometimes call and treat her fans as "perros" (Spanish for dogs), from "spanking" them to thanking their superchats with "Nice, perro." However, this is just Miu being playful with chat and indulging their "masochistic" roleplay jokes... (or is it?)
