Introduction Video
Kanae's introduction.

Personality
Kanae is a self-assured, charming individual who is one of the most popular members of Nijisanji.

His popularity can be owed to his sociable personality. He is particularly good at improv and can create witty responses to conversations often. His easy-going and friendly nature allows him to hold conversations effortlessly with others, giving him a wide social circle where he often collaborates with professional gamers, Utaites, mangakas, seiyuus and Nijisanji International members (despite the language barrier). He rarely loses his cool demeanor or raises his voice.

However, he is also a mischievous individual, often purposefully aggravating his fellow streamers with sarcastic jokes and actions. The saying "Kanae lies as he breathes" is a statement thrown out a lot in Kanae's fandom, for he's well known for lying very nonchalantly. Other livers even said that Kanae is a mysterious individual, a person who they can't read very easily. Despite this, Kanae is truthfully a very caring person who speaks highly of his friends at any chance and tries to improve himself as much as possible. He once comforted Yuki Chihiro, calmly explaining and consoling her when she cried on stream.

Appearance
Kanae has flowy ash-brown hair that has differing lengths on different avatars. He has very light tower-gray droopy eyes with a small mole under his left eye and has worn multiple differently styled clothes.

In his original outfit, his indoor pajama outfit, Kanae has his hair styled in a fluffy bob cut with bangs and a white hairpin on his left side-bangs. He wears a black turtle-neck sweater under his mint-blue hoodie paired with brown and white striped sweatpants. He wears all of this with his orange and white slippers that have an animal paw design on the sole.

In his second regular outfit, his street wear outfit, Kanae has his hair styled in either a fluffy short bob cut with bangs and a black hairpin on his left side-bangs or a longer low-ponytail hairstyle with his left side-bangs tucked behind his left ear that has two black ear-cuffs on the helix and a black stud on his lobe. He wears an over-sized dark-gray cardigan with white pocket linings atop a light-gray knitted turtle-neck sweater. He accessorizes it with a silver necklace and puts two hairpins on his jacket. He wears wide-legged harem pants with ribbons on the side and leggings underneath. All of this is paired with black combat boots.

In his third regular outfit, his white casual outfit, Kanae has short hair with a wavy parted fringe showing a bit of his hairline and his left ear which has a silver dangling earring. He wears a long white bishop sleeved button-up shirt below an off-white sweater vest paired with black skinny trousers and a pair of black oxford dress shoes. Roto would also sometimes appear on top of his head.

Mascot and Fans



 * Kanae is usually seen carrying around a cushion cat that is named "ロト" (Roto). Roto's name came about when viewers noticed that when Kanae's name (叶) is broken down, you will get two characters that look like "ロ" and "ト". Kanae apparently can't settle down if he isn't holding the cushion cat. Roto is a cat youkai that has possessed the body of a stuffed cat but he can also freely transform into anything than just a stuffed doll. Roto speaks sparingly, in an extremely low voice, this paired with his cryptic personality, makes other Nijisanji mascots afraid of him.
 * Roto's favorite food is peoples' happiness.
 * Everyone who has heard Roto's voice always seem to die.
 * There has been speculation that Roto is the one who erased Kanae's memories of the past.
 * The cushion cat celebrates his birthday on the 10th of June.
 * Roto is almost always featured as a part of Kanae's different outfits. You can see Roto on Kanae's Military Outfit's Arm band and coat collar, as a pin on his 2018 Winter Outfit, and more.
 * In Kanae's most recent outfit, his white casual clothes, Roto can be seen on top of his head because he was upset he wasn't with Kanae most of the time in his latest streams of December 2020.
 * On 8 January 2021, Kanae announces the release of the "Roto Goods" on Nijisanji's Official Channel. The release included a ceramic mug with a Roto as it's design, a Roto plushie, and a Roto Kigurumi Pajamas. All of the products are made to order and will be available until the 27th of January 2021.
 * Quotes:
 * "ﾛﾄﾀﾞﾖ…" (Roto dayo..., I'm Roto...)
 * "ｽﾞｯﾄ ﾐﾃﾙｶﾗﾈ…" (Zutto mitekara..., I'm always watching...)
 * "ﾀﾞﾒﾀﾞﾖ..." (Dame dayo..., That's no good...) | (Reply to Kanae's "Ugh, my head hurts")
 * Kanae's fans are called "叶え隊" (Kanae-tai)
 * More passionate fans and channel members are called "彼氏" (Kareshi, Boyfriend).
 * Whenever Kanae steps away from his stream, when he makes a mistake, or the viewers are waiting for the upcoming stream, members would spam " 叶 愛 chu&#9825; " to show support. Utako Suzuka even mentioned, "コメント欄が天国." (This chat is heaven).

Tsukino Mito also recounted a tale from New Years' where Kanae convincingly lied about something "that had no benefit to him" whatsoever besides seeing the reaction when he revealed he was lying.


 * Tsukino Mito ranked Kanae as the person with the highest communication skills in Nijisanji in one of her livestreams.


 * On Nijisanji's ARK server, Kanae was regarded as one of their "Four Emperors" because he was one of the most highly civilized tribes(despite being the only one in his tribe) and the strongest tribe on the server. Kanae also used the chance of using Elemental Dust which was something the other Nijisanji livers didn't see as a useful resource. With it, he had a large number of weapons to sell and he is able to make hamburgers with custom recipes. He also earned the nickname "死の商人" (shi no shonin, merchant of death) and owned a store called "Rotoria" where he sold his hamburgers.

 * Kanae holds the longest first livestream in the history of Nijisanji with 9 hours 4 minutes and 56 seconds of video footage.


 * As of January, Kanae has the 2nd highest superchat earning of any male Vtuber after fellow liver Kuzuha.


 * Widely considered by other Nijisanji livers as one of the best video game players of Nijisanji.


 * Kanae has mentioned before that either he or his mother is half Japanese, which in either case would make him part Japanese.


 * Kanae loves ego-surfing and he also religiously searches his own Twitter hashtag whenever he can. So much so, that he ego-surfs even during a PUBG match on a live-stream. Because of this, he earned the nickname "戦場エゴサ芸人" or "battlefield ego-surfer" in English. He says he does this because he suffers from a medical condition that requires regular ego-surfing and that he regularly does this 100 times a day.


 * Kanae is said to have a beautiful sleeping face. At one time, Saegusa Akina was tempted to kiss a sleeping Kanae while he was staying in his house and so in order to stop himself, he just bid him farewell and left.


 * According to him, the reason why he enjoys playing video games was because his father was a gamer himself and because of this Kanae has extensive knowledge of older games.


 * Kanae has a weird habit of dozing off while talking to someone during a call.


 * Kanae has an official sticker set on the mobile messaging app LINE called "Baby Kanae Sticker" on the LINE Store along with other Vtuber stickers such as Honma Himawari's "Honma Himawari stamps (Easy to use)" stickers and many more.


 * Kanae's Channel logo was made by 柊椋 (Hiiragi Muku) a professional designer and artist that happened to be watching Kanae's stream when Kanae asked, "Are there any talented viewers (in logo making) watching?". Hiiragi Muku responded to the question and after an hour, Kanae's logo was finished.


 * The overlay you would usually under Kanae's avatar in his streams, as well as his channel banner is created by the freelance graphic designer, "えんでば~" (Endeavor). He has also done works for other Vtubers such as Nikuhen-cyan and Akairo Raincoat.


 * Kanae has a lot of knowledge and experience with playing Minecraft. Because of this, many Livers would get surprised whenever they see his builds. However due to his vast knowledge, he prefers to play with efficiency in mind which led to him starting a villager farm where he rents out and sells the villagers to other Livers earning him the nickname, "にじさんじの闇" (Niji sanji no yami, The Dark Side of Nijisanji) or "奴隷商人" (Dorei Shonin, The Slave Merchant).

Character and Lore

 * Kanae has amnesia and doesn't remember his childhood very well. Though one thing he is sure about is that in the earliest memories he could recall, he was already holding his cushion cat named Roto. Because of this, Kanae can't settle down without Roto near him.
 * Kanae has talked about his past, such as his school days and even his childhood, in streams, despite this being part of his lore.
