Previously, she was enrolled as a student in VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) as part of its second generation.

Personality[]

Meruto is an extremely cheerful girl who likes chatting a lot. Much like her debut-mate and fellow ex-VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) student Ishigami Nozomi, Meruto can quite often burst into loud laughter while streaming, to the point that it is now considered by many fans as her signature trait. True to her own description of herself, she is a mature and sexy bright and curious but slightly airheaded gyaru with some childish tendencies and a preference for solving her problems with power (i.e., her fists).[6]

However, that impression would change radically when it comes to singing; she has a magnificent singing voice that is considerably different from her normal voice, which is quite popular with both fans and fellow NIJISANJI livers.[7] Her natural cuteness also masks glimpses of a more scary nature referred to as Dark Kuramochi (暗持), especially as she is known to be one of the most physically imposing Livers in all of NIJISANJI.

Occasionally, Meruto performs a surprisingly excellent play in the video games which she is inexperienced with, sometimes even overtaking other Livers who are good at them; the most notable example of this is during the New Year! NIJISANJI Mahjong Tournament 2024, in which despite she had started playing mahjong only a few days before the tournament, she miraculously ranked at 10th on non-1st-place participants' final score during the qualifiers and made it into the knockout round, much to Meruto herself's surprise. She then reviewed her play during the qualifiers and discussed how she should play in the knockout round with her fans on a practicing stream next morning, deciding to rely on only Riichi using regular suits; she had an amusingly successful run on the round with that playing style, ultimately advancing to the finals and ranked 4th in the entire tournament.

Appearance[]

Meruto has medium-length pink hair that ends in a light purple tinge and a side ponytail on her left side, decorated with pink and black hairpins (in the same ◇◆ motif that all of the Idios members share) and a black polka dot hair tie ribbon. She has blue eyes.

In her default appearance, she wears a cropped black hooded jacket with pink lining and white ribbons down the sleeves. She wears a sleeveless white shirt with a pink bow tie and a pair of high waisted black shorts with a diamond-shaped zipper chuck. She has mismatched socks: one black thigh-high stocking with a garterbelt and one pink mid-calf length sock. Her socks are tucked into black legwarmers and white sneakers with pink accents. She carries her bear, Lune, as a shoulder bag.

Options:
  • Her jacket is removable.
  • Lune is removable.

Meruto's second outfit is a school uniform-type outfit in a more overtly gyaru style. It consists of a pink, purple, and white windbreaker, a white dress shirt that is unbuttoned at the top and tied beneath her bust, a dark purple bowtie, a short black pleated skirt, a pair of knee-length black socks, white legwarmers, and black school shoes. Her accessories include a black school bag with a Lune charm, and jewelry including earrings, necklaces, and rings. Her outfit came with a new hairstyle, featuring Meruto letting her hair down and various hair decorations; she also now has an ahoge.

Options:
  • Her jacket, school bag, and socks are all individually removable.

As a VTA student, Meruto had long pink hair and blue eyes.

She wore the VTA female uniform, consisting of a hooded black varsity jacket with white stripes, a black cardigan, a white dress shirt, a black necktie with blue, lime green, and purple stripes, and a black pleated skirt with diagonal pinstripes along the bottom hem. She wore black tights and black loafers.

History[]

Background[]

Shortly after the first generation students of VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) began publicly streaming, the project announced the beginning of recruitment for its second generation. Applications to audition for VTA's second generation were initially accepted from 19 November to 13 December 2021.[8] Following this, some adjustments were made to the program's curriculum to make the program friendlier to more experienced applicants; second generation audition applications were subsequently accepted for a second period from 22 March to 31 March 2022.[9]

On 21 June 2022, the names and appearances of VTA's second generation of students were revealed on the official VTA Twitter account, including Kuramochi Meruto.[10]

On 22 June 2022, Meruto held her first stream  on the VTA channel. Her first Tweet was made on 27 June 2022.[11] Meruto was placed in class 1, alongside Watarai Hibari, Shikinagi Akira, Aokiri Mihono, Tsuyuzaki Tsuyu, Ishigami Nozomi, Warabi Raika, Kuno Orihito, Saiki Ittetsu, Mikoshiba Jin, and Usami Rito.

On 16 January 2023, ANYCOLOR announced the debut of 7 new female NIJISANJI Livers, including Meruto - making her one of the first members of VTA's second generation to graduate in order to debut directly into NIJISANJI. The 7 Livers' debut stream relays were to be held on 19 January and 20 January 2023.[1][12] In preparation for her debut, Meruto received a full redesign, and all YouTube videos previously created during her time in VTA were hidden.

Meruto's YouTube channel was created on 24 October 2022, and her Twitter in January 2023. Her first Tweet was made on 16 January 2023.

On 4 November, Meruto debuted her second 2D outfit.[21]

At NijiFes 2023, which was held from 23 December to 24 December, she was one of the judges for the 3rd NIJISANJI Uta Uma Senshuken!! singing contest alongside Morinaka Kazaki and Genzuki Tojiro on Day 1.[22]

Events[]

2023[]

  • On 23 January, it was announced that the January 2023 wave of NIJISANJI Livers, including Meruto, were chosen as models for accessory brand Dinamis. The chosen Livers were included in advertisement campaigns at two locations featuring original illustrations highlighting their accessories: Tokyo Station, running from 23 January to 5 February; and Umeda Station, running from 23 January to 29 January.[26] This has since become a recurring collaboration, with the members of Idios continuing to model for Dinamis' subsequent collections alongside the brand's non-virtual models.
  • On 24 July, it was announced that the 2023 Kanda Myōjin Nōryō Matsuri (a major summer festival that takes place at Kanda Shrine) would be collaborating with Idios. The collaboration included goods featuring original artwork of the members in yukata, such as shaved ice, a summer festival set (consisting of a T-shirt, hand towel, an uchiwa, badge set, and shopping bag), posters, the uchiwa separately, and ema-themed charms. The 7 members of Idios also performed the original theme song for the festival, "Kanda Myōjin Ondo" (神田明神音頭). The festival ran from 10 August to 13 August; non-edible goods from the collaboration were made available for online purchase from 7 August.[27]
  • On 16 December, Dinamis announced their first pop-up booth event, held at NijiFes 2023 from 23 December to 24 December. The event featured products modelled by the members of Idios, including the debut of their 24MW / Melty Collection, with Meruto and Shishido Akari chosen as models. It also included goods such as original stickers featuring Koshimizu Toru, Sophia Valentine, and Roco, as well as original clear files featuring all the Idios members.[28]

2024[]

  • On 8 April, the J1 League, Japan's top tier of association football, announced a renewal of their annual partnership with NIJISANJI for the 2024 season.[29] Meruto was announced to be one of the Livers chosen for the 2024 campaign, endorsing Cerezo Osaka.[30] The collaboration included various goods featuring artwork of the Livers in team regalia, stadium advertisements, and the Livers participating in official commentary for matches.
  • On 20 April, the members of Idios and Hyakumantenbara Salome were revealed to be virtual models for Dinamis' 24 Nail Collection of nail polish and nail oils. A sales campaign featuring stickers and postcards with original illustrations of the chosen livers ran from 20 April to 26 May.[31]

Mascot and Fans[]

Kuramochi Meruto Membership Badges and Stamps

Lune, as seen in Meruto's channel membership badges

  • Meruto's fans and channel members are officially referred to as "Melunates" (めるねいと), a combination of her name, Lune's name, and "mate".[32]
  • Her fanmarks are 🧸 (teddy bear) and 🌙 (crescent moon).
  • Her mascot, a small white bear plush that she always carries with her, is named "Lune" (ルネ). She met it at a French accessory exhibition. Its name is a mispronunciation of the katakana reading for the word "lune" (リュンヌ), which means "moon" in French.[6]
    • As her profile hints and as illustrated in her reference sheet, the inside of Lune is actually a pocket dimension (i.e., hammerspace) where Meruto keeps muscle training items such as dumbbells and resistance bands. The size of the items are much larger than Lune's apparent volume.
    • Lune is featured in the majority of her membership badges.
    • A cushion in the shape of Lune's head was released on 16 January 2024 as part of the lineup of Idios' first anniversary goods.

But I think enjoying the most of the hard times is the best thing you can do.)[37]

Trivia[]

Identity[]

Character and Lore[]

  • She originally became a gyaru thanks to the influence of her close friend, who she refers to as the "ganso gyaru" (元祖ギャル, progenitor gyaru). While Meruto was a high school student, she was going through some troubles but tried to hide it. A gyaru in the same class suddenly expressed concern for her; Meruto was surprised but relieved that someone had noticed. They became good friends, and Meruto too became a gyaru out of admiration for her new friend and the "gyaru mindset".[17]
    • Because her friends were mostly gyarus and not many of them liked things like anime and manga, she would run to the people who did like anime and manga and share her thoughts on them when her gyaru friends left to go to the washroom or other places.
  • She has another gyaru friend nicknamed the "zenchi gyaru" (全知ギャル, omniscient gyaru), who Meruto describes as knowing and understanding more about Meruto than Meruto herself.[39]
  • After her NIJISANJI debut, she no longer ages.[40]

Name[]

  • Her surname Kuramochi is written as 倉持, with 倉 meaning "warehouse" and 持 meaning "to own".
    • The nickname for her darker side, Dark Kuramochi (暗持), is phonetically identical to 倉持 in Japanese, substituting a different kanji for "kura" (暗, dark) for the original "kura" (倉).
  • Meruto's given name is written in hiragana (めると), usually reserved for feminine names, and is phonetically identical to the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "melt" (メルト). It is also a rather rare name, especially for girls, in keeping with VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA)'s tradition of giving their students kira kira names.

Preferences[]

Miscellaneous[]

  • Idios' default outfits all feature accessories with a shared ◇◆ motif, all of which are real-life accessories from the brand Dinamis' 23AW / symbol Collection (a brand they later officially became models for). The accessories were designed by Sophia Valentine's illustrator yadapot.[47]
    • Meruto's accessories include two of Hair Pin NBS-2307 (one in her hair and one used as a tie pin) and a black color variant of Ring NBS-2303 that is not available commercially on her right hand.
  • Despite her cute personality and appearance, she is known for her strength, physical ability, and her skill in martial arts in real life, and is occasionally referred to as things like "gorilla" (ゴリラ), "nōkin" (脳筋, muscle-brain), or simply "kobushi" (拳, fists).[48]
    • She broke 20 concrete tiles with her bare hands on-stream during her debut, 13-14 of which she broke with her first strike.[6][49]
    • During a ball throw as part of a physical fitness test at school, the strength of her throw was apparently "unreadable" according to the measuring device. Because of her throwing strength, the physical education teacher would ask Meruto to retrieve stuck objects from the gymnasium ceiling by throwing something at them.[50]
    • Her fastest time in a 50-meter dash is "around 6 or so seconds".[51] For reference, the world record for women is 5.96 seconds.
  • She is capable of endurance streams, and has reached YouTube's 12 hour stream length limit several times.
  • When she first debuted, due to soundproofing issues she infamously streamed from a closet until she was finally able to move on 9 November 2023.[52] This included her birthday countdown stream and some of her singing streams.[53][54]
    • Her microphone cover at the time of her debut was made from cardboard.[55]
  • While now known for her singing ability, she was asked "why are you so bad at singing?" by a friend as a child. Her current skill is the product of studying the singing technique of her friends who were considered good singers.[56]
  • She started playing the piano when she was 3 years old.[6]
  • She has been dancing since she was in elementary school, and her best styles are hip-hop, jazz, and ballet. She is also capable of choreographing routines.[57]
  • She is a member of acapella and dance circles at her university.[58]
  • She has a younger sister, who she refers to as "Minimochi" (ミニ持). Whenever Meruto returns home, she tends to dote on and spoil Minimochi.[59]
  • Prior to her debut, she had been a fan of NIJISANJI for quite some time. The first NIJISANJI Liver she watched was Naraka, while the Liver who inspired her to join NIJISANJI was Sasaki Saku. Upon seeing Yuki Chihiro's sky castle for the first time after joining the NIJISANJI JP Minecraft server, she apparently cried.[60][61]

Live Chat Etiquette[]

  • Common VTuber chat etiquette is summarised here: "VTuber Chat Etiquette"
  • From stream descriptions:
    • Please avoid strong language and excessive backseating that people would be surprised to see!!
    • Please avoid talking to each other in the chat, whether in the waiting room or during streams. Talk to Meruto instead lol~
    • Of course, fighting in the chat is a definite no-no.
    • Please don't respond to trolls, annoying comments, or spam! Just ignore them!
    • Please refrain from bringing up the names of other Livers or talking about things that aren't relevant to the stream. ;;
    • Please avoid mentioning the name "Kuramochi Meruto" in other Livers' streams!!
    • Please don't behave in a way that causes trouble for other Livers or viewers (e.g., don't "pigeon" - chatting along the lines of: "XX said this!" in other streams)!
    • The fanart Meruto uses for thumbnails were done for her as a courtesy - please don't say anything that might make the artist feel bad.
    • Even if someone does the above without realizing it, please avoid pointing it out and just leave them alone.
  • From pinned comments:
    • Please avoid game spoilers in your comments. As for backseating, reserve it only for when Meruto is stuck and even then, do it gently.
  • Additionally:
    • Regarding "confession"-type comments, like "I like Kuramochi a lot!": Meruto doesn't want to ban them outright, but is wary of making her streams feel like an environment that's meant only for her and people who are already fans of her and thus alienating viewers who are just discovering her for the first time. She asks viewers to remember that other people might be watching and be mindful of what they comment, as she's "trying her best to let as many people as possible know about Kuramochi".[62]
