Luca Kaneshiro

Luca Kaneshiro (ルカ・カネシロ) is a male English Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI EN's fourth wave "Luxiem," alongside Shu Yamino, Ike Eveland, Mysta Rias, and Vox Akuma.

Profile
A Mafia boss from the past with a slight temper. Always down for a fight, whether it’s to show-off his own strength or to protect the weak.

Personality
Whilst claiming as "evil and mean", Luca is just a sweet and energetic mafia boss who resembles a golden retriever dog. He is known for his love to use the word "POG". He can also be surprisingly innocent and dense from time to time.

He always parrots everything he reads, sometimes even saying innuendos double entendres without being aware of their meaning.

He has said on one of his streams that he have no problems making friends with people, and can immediately walk up to a stranger and start a small talk.

Background
On 18 June 2021, NIJISANJI EN opened two sets of auditions, one of which was for an all-male wave Livers. The all-male auditions lasted until 1 August.

On 17 December 2021, NIJISANJI EN announced the upcoming debut of its fourth wave "Luxiem", accompanied by a teaser featuring the new Livers' designs and voices. It was also announced that an original song sang by Luxiem, "Hope in the dark", would be released on the same day of their debut. The song was written and produced by ChibiNyan, who also wrote and produced Ethyria's debut song "God sees all".

Luca's YouTube channel was created on 1 December 2021, and his Twitter account also created in the same month. His first tweet was made on 17 December 2021.

Miscellaneous

 * A running gag between Luca and his fans is his "booba", referring to his pectorals.

Protesting that he doesn't have big "booba", he claimed he'll prove it on debut. By the time Luca's held his debut stream, he "proved it" by removing his coat and jacket, though it only enforced the joke further, as his bust is arguably large in size.
