Pekora's introduction.

Profile[]

"Hiya-peko! Hiya-peko! Hiya-pekooo! I'm Usada Pekora, peko!"

A lonely rabbit-eared girl who loves carrots. She loves them so much that she always brings a few anywhere she goes.[10]

Personality[]

Pekora hails from the nation of Pekoland, where she claims she is a member of royalty. While not much is currently known about Pekoland, it is assumed that its denizens are, like Pekora, Animals humans with rabbit-ears and comparatively long lifespans, and that the rabbit-motif apparent in Pekora's fashion and accessories is significant to their culture. According to Pekora, "peko" is the only word in the Pekolandish language. In-line with her claims of a royal upbringing, Pekora's personality can be described as outwardly bratty, haughty, immature and surly, but genuinely playful and friendly. But when not on camera she has been noted by other hololive girls as polite and shy to as she doesn't like people in her space, as well as one to internalize her pain (as noted by Houshou Marine) which ended up prematurely ending one of her streams with her in tears.

Pekora is infamous for mischief, to the point where other hololive members will instantly become suspicious of any project if they learn that Pekora was involved. While her intended victim is usually Sakura Miko, no one is exempt from her trolling, not even herself. Pekora's fans appropriately display this same kind of attitude and are known to ruthlessly tease her through the chat when the opportunity arises. In spite of everything, Pekora still wants to be recognized as a real idol, but to her chagrin, fans mostly think of her as a "comedian" and "crazy rabbit," not helped by her constant sprees of often self-inflicted misfortune. Even when she is in a idol-like scenario, something always backfires on her. Fittingly, she is also particularly well-known for being able to almost instantly flip between smugly gloating and desperately begging for help/forgiveness depending on whether or not she has the upper hand in a situation.

Pekora has a distinctive laugh (frequently represented in text as "AH↓ HA↑ HA↑ HA↑") somewhat resembling that of an older female aristocrat, and frequently interjects her sentences with the "-peko" suffix, though she has been known to forget this occasionally. She asserts her dominance by shouting "PE↗ KO↘ PE↗ KO↘ PE↗ KO↘."

Appearance[]

Her hair is long and blue in braided twintails with white in the braids, as well as carrots inserted into her hair. She has rabbit ears. She has a rabbit shape fluffy scarf wrapped around her neck. Her eyes seem to have shades of purple and orange in them, with rabbit shaped pupils.

Mascot and Fans[]

Nousagi on Top of Pekora's Head

Nousagi on top of Pekora's Head

  • Pekora's scarf is actually her pet named Don-chan.
  • Her fanbase is officially called "League of the Hare Alliance" or "Nousagi"「野うさぎ同盟」in Japanese and are represented as rabbit fur balls with carrots clipped to their ears. However, the "Nousagi" on top of Pekora also goes by the name "Pekomon," it is unknown if such name is specific to that "Nousagi" or used to refer the entire species.

Relationships[]

Quotes[]

  • "KI-T-RA, KI-T-RA, KI-T-RA!!!~~~♪" (きtら、きtら、きtらああ!!!~~~♪) - Pekora's victory cry, based on Japanese cellphone slang
  • "Ah, ah, ah, ah! Konpeko, konpeko, konpeko! hololive san kise no Usada Pekora peko! Domo domo!" (Ah, ah, ah, ah! Konpeko, konpeko, konpeko! I'm Usada Pekora of hololive 3rd generation peko! Hello hello!)

Trivia[]

  • Pekora's character model features small highlights in the center of each eye's pupil that resemble the facial profile of a rabbit.
  • The black lines on the top of her dress are actually the top of a strapless leotard which, when combined with the dark tights and her natural rabbit features, forms the stereotypical "Bunny Girl" outfit, a classic, sexy, Playboy Magazine-inspired waitress attire typically seen around entertainment plazas like casinos, though has taken on a life of its own within Japan with various pronounced restylings that fit its colorful creative ecosystem. Pekora herself seems fond of the classic look, as she often uses Bunny Girl outfits found in the video games she plays when available.
  • After the topic of headphones came up during a stream, Pekora claimed that she can successfully use headphones with both sets of her ears (both the human pair and her rabbit-ears).
  • While many of her fellow hololive members have questioned whether her bunny ears are real or not, Pekora has once depicted them bleeding after she "cut" them off to give Kiryu Coco as birthday present. On the other hand, she has also claimed that her human ears are actually fake, added by her "Mama" so humans would be more accepting of her.
  • While the carrots lodged in each of Pekora's braids are typically presumed to be fake and decorative accessories, an outro-scene in a holo no graffiti episode shows Shirakami Fubuki, Roboco and Natsuiro Matsuri attempting to use them as an ingredient for curry, indicating that they may instead be real, edible carrots. However, in another episode of holo no graffiti, removing the carrots from Pekora's braids resulted in several hololive members becoming temporarily trapped in a sort of pocket-dimension in the space in Pekora's hair that the carrot had occupied, so anything consistent about the nature of Pekora's braid-carrots is hard to establish. It is better to dismiss it as typical comical nonsense HoloGra is known for.
  • While Pekora's personality can be described as somewhat bratty, boisterous, immature or sometimes outright antagonistic, several hololive members have described this as being contradictory to her true, off-stream personality. Personal friends like Sakura Miko have described her as being extremely easy to get along with, polite, respectful and even somewhat reserved.
    • Also according to the "Big Sisters" in Gen 3, Pekora is hard to invite to after lesson/work gathering because she always returns home in a whoosh, a fact that Pekora herself also acknowledged.
  • Pekora is also known for doting her kohais:
    • Moona Hoshinova is perhaps the most well-known example of this, as Pekora shows significant care for her in compared to most other senpais and kohais, especially in Minecraft.
    • Hakui Koyori was one of the very few hololive members Pekora willing to hug when asked. Moreover, Pekora in many occasions invited her to raid monuments together in hololive Rust season 2, and tried to make Koyori defect to her side when she decided to betray others.
  • Pekora's penchant for casually committing morally questionable acts while playing games (most infamously her actions towards Villagers in Minecraft) has earned her a reputation as a "war criminal" among western fans.
    • After hololive Rust season 2, fans started calling her "demon lord" as well, especially whenever she is in a situation that made her looks like, or really take up the role of a final boss.
  • Apart from her "war criminal" reputation mentioned above, Pekora is also well known for her sheer luck from time to time. For example:
    • Successfully caught a prize on the first try for several time during her commercial streams promoting online catcher arcade.
    • Getting more than one Yacht in one playthrough when playing Yacht Dice from the Nintendo's 51 Worldwide Games.
    • Getting high-rarity cards from gachas in Princess Connect Re:Dive without charging money into the game.
    • When battling the Elite Four and Champion in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, she escaped defeat thanks to her Gyarados frequently enduring fatal attacks and/or shaking off status conditions at critical times, with each of them has a triggering rate less than 30% even at maximum level affection. Moreover, Pekora had at least once accidentally scoring a one-hit KO when her opponent suddenly replaced the on-field Pokémon after she selected a move, and the new Pokémon is weak to it.
  • Pekora established her own company, Usada Kensetsu, on the hololive Minecraft JP server.
  • According to herself, her age of 111 years is actually 3 years old in Pekoland, as 1+1+1=3.
  • Also according to Pekora, bunny girls don't wear panties.
  • Pekora has shown herself to be a gambling addict.
  • A giant obsidian portrait of a chibi Pekora head was constructed on the infamous Minecraft server 2b2t.org. It used over 2.1 million obsidian, and is the largest hand made obsidian map art currently on the server (and second largest overall).
  • Pekora makes a cameo in episode 2 of How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω (Omega), albeit with a modified color scheme and different clothing resembling a impoverished villager. However, she was removed entirely from future Japanese broadcasts over fears of copyright infringement with Cover Corp. She still remains in import streaming versions seen on sites like Crunchyroll due to licenses usually being one and done deals.
  • Pekora's birthday of 12 January is known in Japan as Good Ginseng Day, "ii ninjin no hi." It is a form of goroawase where 1/12, "ichi ichi ni," is read "i i ni (njin)." Its connection to Pekora is that "ninjin" also means "carrot." Pekora mentioned this during her Metal Gear Solid 2 playthrough.[69]
  • Pekora shares her character illustrator with Amanogawa Shiina of Phase-Connect and Tsukiyoi Avi of Varium.
  • As part of a promise made to her viewers after reaching 1,000,000 subscribers, Pekora had her real-life mother make a guest appearance onstream on 13 December 2021. Her mother has made infrequent voice appearances in Pekora's streams since, and in 1 April 2024 made a debut as "Pekora Mami" with her own Live2D avatar as part of Pekora's April Fool's activities.
