Personality[]

Hibari is outgoing, talkative, enthusiastic, loud, and according to his debut-mates, nearly perpetually cheerful and high-spirited.[6] He is a natural performer and has a flair for the dramatic, in line with his backstory of being from a family of phantom thieves. He has been referred to as the quintessential extravert,[7] and as someone who enlivens the atmosphere and raises the mood of whatever group he's part of.[8]

However, he is also infamous for being book dumb and lacking some degree of common knowledge, which he himself acknowledges.[9] For example, he occasionally interrupts the other members of VOLTACTION or other collab partners of his to wonder what the idioms or phrases they just said mean, and honestly believed that the reciprocal of 6 is simply the number 6 written backwards. During a stream in which the VOLTACTION members all took a comprehensive exam, he had by far the lowest score - earning him the dubious honor of the title BAKATACTION.[10]

Despite this, he is often described as being an exceedingly nice person and quite sensitive to the needs of others, to the point where his senpais are afraid of him.[11][12] While not a natural leader, he provides a great degree of both emotional and technical support in other ways to VOLTACTION as well as other livers behind-the-scenes.[6]

Appearance[]

Hibari has short layered purple hair with hot pink layers underneath. His eyes are light yellow with diamond-shaped pupils. He has a snaggletooth/fang that juts from the left side of his upper jaw, which is visible even with his mouth closed. Both his ears are pierced, with his left ear having black piercings and his right having gold ones.

In his default appearance, he has a long black jacket with pink-purple gradient belts and trim, and his winged logo printed on the back. Underneath this, he wears a white, slightly cropped shirt with black trim over a harness that covers his right arm as well as another harness over the shirt. He wears black pants, tucked into white sneakers with red accents and black soles and laces. His accessories include a black choker, a pocket watch suspended from his belt, a pair of red gloves, and a holster on his right thigh.

Options:
  • He can wear the mask he uses as a phantom thief, which is black with a bird-like motif. When wearing the mask, the eye openings can toggle between transparent and opaque; when opaque, Hibari's eye movements are tracked to the openings, giving an "animated mask" effect.
  • His jacket is removable.

Hibari's second 2D outfit, like those of the other members of VOLTACTION, is the Erfolg College school uniform. His is the standard uniform, consisting of a black tailcoat, grey dress shirt and tie, and black slacks. Hibari's variation on it includes various badges and decals on his sleeves, a pair of headphones, a guitar pick necklace, bracelets and rings, and his pocket watch. Instead of his usual set of piercings, he wears a spike-shaped black pendant earring on his right ear and a skylark feather earring on his left. The outfit also came with a new hairstyle, which features his bangs being pinned up and a short side ponytail.

Options:
  • His necktie, headphones, and tailcoat are all individually removable.

Hibari's second 3D outfit, designed for his appearance in Day 2 of NIJISANJI's 5th Anniversary LIVE "SYMPHONIA", is in the same "royal military"/"idol"-esque style of NIJISANJI's past anniversary live costumes. It features a navy blue and white coat and slacks with gold accents and hot pink trim.

As a VTA student, Hibari had parted reddish-purple hair and greyish-purple eyes.

He wore the standard VTA first generation male uniform, consisting of a black varsity jacket with white stripes, a black cardigan, a white dress shirt, a black necktie with blue, lime green, and purple stripes, black slacks, and black loafers.

History[]

Background[]

On 18 June 2021, ANYCOLOR announced the launch of VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA), a vocational school and talent development project to help prospective Virtual YouTubers develop skills related to streaming and content creation. Applications for VTA's first generation auditions were accepted from 18 June to 5 July 2021.[13]

On 1 November 2021, VTA opened official YouTube and Twitter accounts and revealed the names and appearances of its first generation students, including Watarai Hibari.[14][15]

On 5 November 2021, Hibari held his first stream  on the VTA channel. His first Tweet was made on 8 November 2021.[16]

While the students all took part in dance, vocal, acting, and other practical lessons together, they were divided into classes for lectures and classroom-based studying in smaller groups. Hibari was placed in class 1, alongside Ponto Nei, Amagase Muyu, and Fura Kanato; the division was based on their streaming schedules, with class 1 streaming on Fridays and class 2 streaming on Thursdays.[17]

Following Ranunculus' NIJISANJI debut in March 2022 and the arrival of VTA's second generation students in June 2022, the classes were re-shuffled. Hibari became part of the new class 1, alongside Shikinagi Akira, Kuramochi Meruto, Aokiri Mihono, Tsuyuzaki Tsuyu, Ishigami Nozomi, Warabi Raika, Kuno Orihito, Saiki Ittetsu, Mikoshiba Jin, and Usami Rito.

On 11 July 2022, in a first for NIJISANJI, ANYCOLOR unveiled a "peel-off" advertising campaign for their upcoming four-member unit "VOLTACTION", which ran from 11 July to 17 July 2022. It featured an advertisement spanning the entire length of Dogenzaka Happy Board B at Shibuya Station covered with various flyers associated with lore for each of the respective members; peeling enough of them off would reveal their key visuals. Details regarding the actual debuts were to be disclosed at a later date.[18][19]

On 13 July 2022, ANYCOLOR announced that Hibari would be graduating from VTA to debut directly into NIJISANJI as part of VOLTACTION, confirmed to be the second wave of Livers formed from VTA graduates following Ranunculus' debut earlier in the year.[2] In preparation for his debut, Hibari received a full redesign, and all YouTube videos previously created during his time in VTA were hidden.

Hibari's YouTube channel was created on 2 July 2022, and his Twitter account was created in June 2022. His first Tweet was made on 13 July 2022. In addition to the members' individual channels and accounts, the unit debuted with their own official YouTube channel and Twitter account. The VOLTACTION YouTube channel was created on 5 July 2022, and the unit's Twitter account was created in July 2022.

Mascot and Fans[]

Hibari and Hibari-san in the recording studio

  • Hibari's fans and channel members are officially called "Hibarista" (ひばりすた),[78] a portmanteau of Hibari's name and "barista".
  • His fanmarks are ♦️ (playing card suit diamond) and ☕️ (hot beverage).
  • His mascot is named "Hibari-san" (ヒバリさん), whose name is differentiated from that of human Hibari by being written in katakana. Like its name suggests, it is a hibari (雲雀, skylark).
    • The concept for Hibari-san originated from a drawing of a skylark that accompanied Hibari's streams and social media posts when he was a VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) student.[79] This concept was later fleshed out into being an actual companion for Hibari by his artist Ninahachi upon his NIJISANJI debut, as seen in his reference sheet.
    • Its current design, a skylark with purple wing feathers and tufts of purple and pink plumage resembling Hibari's hair, and diamonds in its eyes resembling Hibari's pupils, was finalized for his 3D debut, where it received its own 3D model.[80]
    • It shares a naming pattern with Seraph Dazzlegarden's mascot Mimizuku-san, who is also simply named after the name of its species in Japanese.
    • A large Hibari-san plushie was released on 13 July 2023 as part of the lineup of VOLTACTION's first anniversary goods.

  • "Tama ni mushō ni toaster ga tabetakunaru toki mo arundakedo..." (たまに無性にトースターが食べたくなる時もあるんだけど…, Sometimes I have this irresistible desire to eat a toaster, but...)[85]
  • "Madamada mijukumono dashi wakannai koto bakka dakedo, kono te ni shita chance wo zettai mono ni shite miseru kara!" (まだまだ未熟者だし分かんないことばっかだけど、この手にしたチャンスを絶対ものにしてみせるから!, I might still be inexperienced and there's a lot of things that I don't understand, but I'll make the most of this chance I've been given!)[86]

Trivia[]

Identity[]

Character and Lore[]

  • The members of VOLTACTION were originally a group of close friends - all coming from criminal or otherwise morally ambiguous backgrounds - who first met each other while attending the same boarding school, Erfolg College (エルフォルクカレッジ).[2][90]
    • Instead of enrolling through legitimate means, he stole and forged identification papers to gain acceptance to the school. He initially did this to have a base from which he could experience the big city, as he ran away from his family's estate in the countryside in order to do so.[91]
  • Although Hibari believes that they first befriended each other at boarding school, it is heavily implied that he was the one same-age friend Fura Kanato had before VOLTACTION but lost contact with, with Hibari having forgotten that they were childhood playmates.[91][92] Their childhood friendship is also depicted in VOLTACTION's cover of Vaundy's "Kaiju no Hanauta" (怪獣の花唄).
  • After honing their respective skills in the criminal underworld, Kanato gathered them together due to a shared desire to use these skills to instead bring happiness to people. To do so, they meet at a hidden base called the Laundry (ランドリー), and carry out missions in secret. After learning about NIJISANJI, the members decided to start streaming in addition to their activities as VOLTACTION.[2][93]
  • He is the heir to a phantom thief family that is rather famous in a certain region of virtual Japan. His normal part-time job is a cover for his activities as a phantom thief. However, because he aspires to be a "good thief", he steals peoples' "hearts" rather than stealing money or goods.[86]
  • Despite his reluctance to steal for material gain, he still uses the more unsavory skills he developed through his upbringing as a phantom thief as a member of VOLTACTION. These include casing mission sites for optimal entry and exit points, stealing blueprints and access keys for their mission sites ahead of time, preparing disguises, infiltration, lockpicking, safecracking, and forgery. As such, his primary contributions to the group are reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.[87][94][95]
  • He is capable of seeing in infrared when wearing his mask, which allows him to detect beam security systems that operate in that spectrum.[87]
  • Like the other members of VOLTACTION, he no longer ages.[96]

CAFE Zeffiro[]

  • CAFE Zeffiro is a café owned and managed by Kanato and the Venti Group, and acts as a front for VOLTACTION's activities in conjunction with Shikinagi Akira's Room 4S. Hibari works part-time at the café, meaning that Kanato is technically his boss; thus, Hibari occasionally refers to Kanato as "Owner". Because Hibari does not steal for money, this part-time job is his primary means of supporting himself; as such, he describes himself as a freeter.[86][97]
    • Owing to their close friendship, whenever he encounters a problem at work, he prefers to mention it directly to Kanato instead of bringing it up with the café manager.[98]
  • In order to protect clients' privacy, the primary way clients can contact Room 4S is by first ordering a small espresso with four sugar cubes at CAFE Zeffiro.[99] As orders and requests are relayed through Kanato and Hibari, it can then be determined if the request warrants involving VOLTACTION as a whole.[95]
  • Some of his duties at the café include taking orders at the front counter, preparing coffee, and developing new food and drink items for the café's menu.[8][94][99]
  • He very much enjoys his work, referring to it as a part-time job he can do freely and leisurely - especially in comparison to Seraph Dazzlegarden's near-constant state of being overworked.[98] The job has no overtime, and as the café manager is quite kind, they're very lenient when Hibari asks for time off due to his other commitments.[100]
  • When shown in 3D, CAFE Zeffiro is shown to have a yellow exterior facade with a large covered outdoor terrace, while its interior appears much like a classic modern café, with ivory walls, indoor seating, and a baked goods case at the front counter.[99]

Name[]

  • As "Watarai Hibari" is the name he went by at Erfolg College, it is unclear as to whether it is his "real" name or that of the person whose identity he stole in order to enroll.[91]
  • His surname Watarai is written as 渡会, with 渡 (wata) meaning to give and 会 (rai) meaning to meet or gather.
  • His given name Hibari is written as 雲雀, which means skylark, usually in reference to the Eurasian skylark; the male of this species is known for its long, clear, warbling song.
    • Likely in reference to this, his mascot Hibari-san is a skylark, and his first solo single is titled "skylark".
    • An alternative kanji reading for "hibari" is 告天子, which also means "skylark", but directly translates to "messenger from heaven".

    • What game character are you like?: "A Cactuar."
    • A memo from your manager: "His memory is terrible!?"
  • Prior to their debut, VOLTACTION once rented a cottage together. This cottage trip gave rise to what is now known as the Yōsei-san Jiken (妖精さん事件, Mr. Fairy Incident), which both the group and their viewers have since referred to as one of their most memorable moments and is oft referenced as a running gag.[109][110]
    • At the cottage, their sleeping arrangements were Kanato and Hibari sharing one bedroom and Akira and Seraph sharing another bedroom, with a clear view into each others' rooms.[111]
    • Akira walked around stark naked in his and Seraph's bedroom on his way to the shower room, apparently drawn there by Seraph playing the violin. Because the bedroom doors were wide open, he was in full view of all three of the others, causing an uproar. The name of the incident derives from Kanato's shocked exclamation of "yōsei-san da!" (妖精さんだ!, It's a fairy!) upon noticing Akira's state of dress. Rather than being embarrassed, however, out of spite Akira walked out naked in front of them once again after finishing his shower.[111][112]
  • He is quite knowledgeable when it comes to audio mixing and audio engineering, and has mixed the majority of his own song covers as well as for other Livers. He was also the one who originally taught audio mixing to Seraph.[9] All of his audio engineering skills are self-taught.[103] Covers he has mixed include:
  • He can play the acoustic guitar and electric guitar.[113]
  • He played baseball throughout elementary and middle school, and is still quite good at it; his primary position was first baseman, however he also occasionally played as the third baseman. He was usually his teams' cleanup hitter, and was the team captain at one point.[114][115]
  • Other sports he enjoys and is proficient at include ten-pin bowling (with his highest score being higher than 200, a 200+ average being professional range), golf, and swimming, the last of which he is good at despite having never had any formal lessons.[116][117]
  • He has an older brother, who he refers to as aniki (兄貴) and nii-chan (兄ちゃん).[118]
  • He has a driver's license.[119]
    • He was the one who drove when VOLTACTION went on a road trip as one of the things they did to celebrate their first debut anniversary; this trip was recorded for a vlog posted on the group's channel.
  • He is known to be an excellent cook, and makes meals for the other members of VOLTACTION from time to time.[120] He was able to show off his culinary skills during a VOLTACTION cooking duel off-collab, with the other members complimenting his dexterity.
  • One of his weaknesses is cleaning; he once Tweeted several days in a row that he was going to clean his room only to keep putting it off. He even went an entire year without cleaning his room at one point, with him suspecting that his air purifier instead started polluting his room because he hadn't changed the filter in that time.[121]
  • His alcohol tolerance is next to zero, with Kanato remarking that it takes very little alcohol for him to get drunk, and that he inevitably ends up with his face flushed and fast asleep within half an hour of starting to drink.[122] In fact, he can apparently even get drunk just by eating whisky bonbon candies.[123]
  • He is an ex-smoker; he initially started smoking as he thought the people smoking in clubs and bars seemed cool, but he eventually quit as he found it ultimately didn't suit him and because smoking was bad for his throat.[103]
    • He knows how to use a shisha and has gone to shisha bars before.[103]
    • His favorite cigarette brand when he did smoke was Mevius, specifically Premium Menthol Option Purple.[124]
  • He has experienced testicular torsion, which fortunately resolved without surgery but was something Hibari described as being the worst pain that he has ever felt.[125] In fact, he was the one who told Seraph to seek medical attention when he started showing the same symptoms.[126] Kanato has referred to them as the "Nenten-gumi" (捻転組, Team Torsion) as a result, much to their displeasure.[127]
  • He did not do well academically in school, but still managed to have a good relationship with his teachers.[103]
    • His favorite subject in school was physical education, while his least favorite subjects were English, math, Japanese, science, and social studies.[128] In other words, almost everything else.
    • He once got 1% on a test despite answering all the questions, and even then he suspects the one partially correct mark to have been given by his teacher out of pity.[103]
    • He especially struggles with kanji, having failed the level 4 Japan Kanji Aptitude Test (which is designed to be passed by elementary school students).[123]
  • While he shows a decent grasp of English pronunciation in his covers, Hibari has little to no actual understanding of the English language itself - somehow even managing to typo "VOLTA" as "VLUTA" once - though he does want to work on this.[129][130] As such, he is completely unable to communicate with CAFE Zeffiro's foreign customers, but tries his best using passion English.[131]
  • If he were to reincarnate as something, it would be as a slime from the Dragon Quest franchise.[128]
  • A NIJISANJI senpai he looks up to is Kagami Hayato.[82]
