"Ehehe, it's play time, whether you're ready or not!"
The fuzzy younger twin sister of The Demonic Guard Dogs, who were sealed away in The Cell for being a pain in the godly behind, Mococo Abyssgard is "The Fuzzy One." The rambunctious Mococo spent all her time imprisoned watching anime and playing games, often roping her older twin sister Fuwawa and their pet Pero in for more chaotic antics. It's rumored that she took part in the prison break just for the heck of it.
Personality
According to her sister Fuwawa, Mococo can be stubborn, but deep down she has a big heart.[5]
Appearance
She has short blonde hair with streaks of pink and pointed dog ears with white tufts coming out, she wears a black and pink jacket, headphones and collar around her neck. Her hairpins are a light pink "X" shape and a white and pink center bandage that parallels with her sister's.
History
Background
Following the debut of hololive English second generation -Council-, hololive English announced a permanent English language audition page on 30 December 2021.[6] An update to the audition page on 7 September 2022 sparked speculation of an upcoming English third generation.[7]
Fuwawa and Mococo first discovered hololive after seeing a picture of Akai Haato on Twitter, which they initially mistook for a character from a visual novel.[8] They were accepted to hololive as a duo after applying on four or more different occasions. They had variously applied both as a duo and as individuals, and in both English and Japanese.[9] In one unsuccessful application, they submitted a cover of Kimi ga Tame, a song which they would go on to cover in their 2024 3D showcase.[10]
The FUWAMOCO YouTube and Twitter accounts were originally created on 12 May 2023, one day after the rest of the group's accounts, although they contained no content at this point. Fuwawa and Mococo share an account. Separate YouTube accounts were also created for Fuwawa and Mococo, but they remained unused.
The third generation of hololive English, -Advent-, was first teased on the hololive English Twitter account with a short video on 22 July 2023.[11] This was followed by another teaser video on 23 July, showing five new characters.[12]
On 25 July, the hololive English YouTube channel posted a video titled Wanted!, revealing the five members of -Advent- and announcing their upcoming debuts.[13] At the same time, the FUWAMOCO duo also posted a short teaser video and made their first tweet.[14][15]
All -Advent- members' YouTube channels reached 100,000 subscribers within twelve hours of the announcement.[16] On July 30, the FUWAMOCO channel reached 200,000 subscribers prior to the sisters' debut.
Debut
Fuwawa and Mococo made their debut stream on 31 July from 12:45 PM to 1:30 PM JST (Sunday, 30 July 2023 from 8:45 PM to 9:30 PM PDT). Their debut reached over 119,000 viewers at peak.[17] During the stream they also previewed their first original song "Lifetime Showtime." The stream was followed by the release of their first cover, "KAIBUTSU."

Trivia
Name
- Mococo is from Japanese onomatopoeia "mokomoko", meaning "fuzzy" or "fluffy." It matches her title as The Fuzzy One.
- Abyssgard is a compound word of "abyss," meaning a bottomless pit, used as a metaphor for Hell in Dante's Inferno; and "gard," meaning either a guard, or an enclosed area of land, as in Midgard of Norse myth.
- Abyssgard is pronounced "AB-iss-gard." This is different to the normal pronunciation of the English word "abyss," which puts the emphasis on the second syllable.
- She writes her name in western name order. In Japanese, she writes it in katakana, commonly used for foreign words.
- Her sister Fuwawa usually addresses her as "Moco-chan," even in English.
Lore
- The members of Advent were sealed away in The Cell, a prison deep underground built to hold dangerous people and things. Its location is a closely-guarded secret.[41]
- Mococo helped in the prison break by barking to distract the guards. She also picked up Pero and threw him at the guards.[5]
- According to the video Another Rebellion, the five escaped members were later located by their jailers, who unsealed a dancing curse. However, they very quickly broke their curse.[42]
- The duo are referred to as the Twin Demonic Guard Dogs of hololive English -Advent-.
- Despite being twins, their birthdays are different by one day. Fuwawa explained that they were "born under the blessing of the moon."[17] Mori Calliope suggests that this means the elder sister Fuwawa was born shortly before midnight, and Mococo was born after midnight.
- Despite some differences in appearance, Fuwawa and Mococo are identical twins.[17][43]
- They each have four ears: the human ears on the sides of their head, and the dog ears on top of their head. The human ears are vestigial, and are not used for hearing.[43]
- Fuwawa and Mococo are from a place called the Northwest Passage. It is located within the Makai, or demon world, and is in the PST timezone. It is a beautiful place with a lot of trees.[44]
- The Northwest Passage features twin moons. The house where the twins grew up is located in a beautiful forest full of luminescent plants and giant puffball flowers known as wild dandebaubaus, near a stream and a special tree called the Tree of Promise.[32]
- Demon guard dogs are tasked with protecting the gate to the demon world. However, only a select few guard dogs are selected for this position. Mococo's job is to protect your smile.[44]
- There are other types of demon dogs rather than guard dogs, such as demon dentist dogs and demon therapy dogs.[44]
- Their parents are referred to as Mama Puppy and Papa Puppy. They only speak Dog language and a little English.[44]
- Mama Puppy is a fan of retro games and Lord of the Rings. Fuwamoco once borrowed a copy of Ocarina of Time from her, and found a save file named Frodo.
- The twins frequently punctuate their speech with the phrase "bau bau," which can mean a great many things in the Demon Dog language, depending on context and tone.
- A YouTube user named ChewyCookies began tracking the number of "baus" in each stream. In the first five months of streaming, they counted Fuwawa with 82,775 baus and Mococo with 56,336 baus, for a total of 139,107 baus.[45] Since they had streamed for 507 hours at this point, this amounts to a total of 274 baus per hour or 4.57 baus per minute, equivalent to more than one duo "bau bau" per minute.
- According to a tracker called BAU BAU Count Sheet, Mococo said "bau" 108,301 times in her first year since debut, including Twitter spaces, voice packs and audio interviews. With her sister Fuwawa, the duo made 270,709 baus in their first year.
- Mococo has the ability to tell if a person is good or bad based on how they smell.
- Some FUWAMOCO fans are known to suffer from a condition called baubaubyou (bau bau syndrome), where seeing pink and blue things together makes them think of Fuwawa and Mococo.

Pero
- Pero is the twins' mascot character, pet, and mentor. They first met in the demon world because FUWAMOCO wasn't taking their training seriously.[57] He was also trapped in the Cell with FUWAMOCO.
- His full name is Perroccino. He refers to himself as The Great Perroccino.
- Pero has only two bones. The rest of his body is pure muscle.
- He refers to Ruffians as "Rufferans."
- FUWAMOCO often express dislike of Pero, calling him "nasty."
- Pero often appears in FUWAMOCO Morning, in a segment called Pero Sighting. He has appeared all over the world, including in Ruffians' homes and workplaces, the Philippines, the famous Hanazono Room pool, the Backrooms, frozen in a swimming pool, tied to railway tracks, and in the Windows XP wallpaper.
- He occasionally makes guest appearances in streams. In one instance, he turned off FUWAMOCO's alarm clocks so they would oversleep, allowing him to take over FUWAMOCO Morning #11. He also managed to take over FUWAMOCO Morning #53.[58][59]
- "Perro" is the Spanish word for "dog." "Cino" is a prefix referring to dogs, and a masculine word suffix appearing in Italian. "Peropero" is Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of licking, such as a pet might do.
- His birthday is 8 August.[60] A Pero birthday celebration stream was held in 8 August 2024.[56]
- As a joke, Ruffians once claimed to like Pero more than FUWAMOCO. They ended the stream in protest.[61]
- An official Pero plushie was released in August 2024. Mococo suggests that it is life-size, being approximately 25 cm tall.[62][63]
- His favorite food is pudding.
- Pero's eyes can turn blue and pink, respectively, when he's angry. He can also be stretched out like mochi.[32]
Miscellaneous
- The pair's role as a duo of guard dogs invites a comparison to Gere and Freke, Odin's guard dogs in Norse mythology. Along with their pet Pero, they are also compared to Cerberus, the three-headed dog who guards the gates of Hell in Greek myth.
- Mococo and Fuwawa are the first two VTubers in hololive to share a single channel across all of their social media accounts.
- She speaks both Japanese and English.
- She is designed by ICOMOCHI, who coincidentally is also a twin.
- They share a bunk bed. Fuwawa takes the top bunk. Mococo sleeps in the bottom bunk, because she's afraid of falling off.[43]
- She wakes up at least three hours before streams.[5] Mococo is always first to wake up, and has to make Fuwawa wake up.
- Together, Fuwawa and Mococo are the 26th and 27th hololive members to join the official hololive subreddit as a moderator.
- The twins run a show called Fuwamoco Morning. It runs on Fridays, Wednesdays, and Mondays, which spells FWM (FuWaMoco). It often features Misunderstanding Corner, where they issue a correction or apology for something that happened in a previous stream.
- At the end of each episode, Fuwawa and Mococo often call out the names of several randomly-selected chatters as Extra Special Ruffians. The idea came from a TV show that Mama Puppy watched when she was little.
- They are known for the "FUWAMOCO sync", a trait where they accidentally say the same thing at the same time. It's a popular trait, but they're really embarrassed about it.[64][65]
- Mococo is known for "Mococo thoughts," a meme where a cropped screenshot depicts her with the last line of the chatbox above her head, with the implication that these are her thoughts.
- Mococo speaks with some unique traits. She ends some o-vowel words with an additional schwa vowel, a trait known as vowel epenthesis. Some clippers represent this with 'æ', e.g. "Noæ!" or "I'm Mococoæ!" They also use it to represent the vowel sound appearing in the middle of some words, e.g. "Whæt?" or "Whaet?"[66]
- Mococo sneezes on average more than once every two streams. Clippers make compilations of Mococo sneezes. Fuwawa sneezes too, but less often. On average, Mococo sneezes 7 times more than Fuwawa. On FUWAMOCO Morning episode 42, Mococo celebrated her 100th sneeze.[67]
- According to Sneeze Count and Miscellaneous tracker, Mococo sneezed 311 times in her first year of streaming since debut. Mococo sneezes in two thirds of streams on the channel, compared to Fuwawa who sneezes in only 9% of streams.
- Once, Mococo put up a poll asking "Superchat when?" This was meant to ask when the next Superchat reading should occur, but Fuwawa joked that she meant to demand Superchats. As a joke, fans started spamming Superchats, resulting in $1,974.92 for the stream. When the misunderstanding was clarified in the subsequent Fuwamoco Morning stream, fans did the same again, resulting in another $1,967.99 in Superchats.[68]
- Fuwawa and Mococo have worn blue and pink, respectively, since they were little, so that people can more easily tell them apart. They looked even more alike when they were little, and also wore name tags so people could tell which was which.[69]
- On Mococo's 2024 New Years outfit, her skirt is decorated with a brooch of the ᛝ symbol, an Anglo-Saxon rune pronounced "ing". It represents Yngvi, an alias of fertility deity Freyr, and is taken as a symbol of fertility. Fuwawa's matching outfit has the same symbol on her top and on her skirt. Nanashi Mumei's April 2023 casual outfit has a necklace featuring a different form of the same fertility rune.
- FUWAMOCO are associated with a meme called "foreigner manipulation," which use distorted images of the duo's faces. In February 2024, a Japanese user on 5ch posted a distorted image of Kazama Iroha, translated as saying "Foreigners like to manipulate and post images like this." It became popular in memes and FUWAMOCO clip thumbnails.[70] It was later referenced in the April Fools video Another Rebellion.[42]
- The duo like to form ad-hoc collab group names. They are particularly fond of the name FUWAMOCALLI (FUWAMOCO + Mori Calliope), since it contains "Mocalli," nickname of idol group Moso Calibration, who formed at DearStage in 2013 and disbanded in 2019. Indy VTuber Mint Fantôme is also a DearStage fan. Mocalli choreographer Mayuka later provided choreography for FUWAMOCO's 3D debut.
- As revealed in her 3D debut, Mococo wears pink and white striped panties, a style known as shimapan which are popular in otaku culture.[32] However, the ones visible in the 3D debut are "shima-shima shorts" to protect her modesty. They aren't panties, so it's not embarassing.[10]
- The wrestling segment in her 3D debut was supervised by Japanese wrestling company DDT Pro-Wrestling. FUWAMOCO had no wrestling experience, but wanted to do something unique which had never been done before in hololive. During one practice, Fuwawa accidentally punched Mococo in the face. Cover's 3D team does not want to do any more wrestling events.[10][71] Dance choreography for the event was provided by Sakakibara Yui, Sawaguchi Kanami, and Mayuka.
