Yuniiho's introduction.
Personality[]
Yuniiho is very upbeat and excitable, though this may not show when she is focusing on her artwork. During her art streams, her attention often gets tugged between interacting with her chat and working on her commissions, occasionally leading to not much work getting done. She has a strong appreciation for "culture", and isn't afraid to discuss or show more lewd art during her streams. On the other hand, she will sometimes put up a façade of purity, even going as far as scolding her chat for things like hand-holding and hugging. She is rather self-critical of her artworks, this becoming most apparent when she reviews her older works during streams.
Due to her nature as an artist, the majority of her streams involve her working on commissions. She makes sure to take breaks though, occasionally putting on music that allows her to bounce around or shout along with the lyrics. She occasionally has faux-meltdowns when speaking about deadlines, and especially when someone mentions "taking breaks".
Appearance[]
Yuniiho has pink hair with white strands throughout. Her hair is long, with a few strands tied away from her face with a white bow. Her eyes are blue, with diamond-shaped pupils and highlights. She has floppy dog ears; one pink and one white. She wears a black beret, the knot of which being replaced by basil leaves. She has a very fluffy pink tail with a white tip. She wears full length tights, and her dress shoes are black and shiny, with basil ornaments. She wears a collar with a golden Chevron tag, referencing fellow VTuber DyaRikku.
Yuniiho's clothing has green stitching and string laced throughout it. She wears a white, collared blouse with a green ascot. This disappears behind a blue, soft-fabric overall skirt that lands at mid-thigh length. The skirt has a front pocket that Yuniiho uses to store various art supplies. Paint blotches of various colours cover Yuniiho's clothes and skin. When she gets angry or "excited", her eyes and the paint covering her body stain a deep red.
History[]
Background[]
The first official concept sketch of what would come to be Yuniiho was posted to her Twitter on 15 November 2019.[1] Yuniiho had already become a Twitch partner on 8 April 2020.[2] She first debuted her Live2D model on her Twitch channel on 7 October 2020. She later made an official VTuber debut stream on a since-abandoned YouTube channel on 26 October 2020.[3]
2020[]
On 3 December, Yuniiho's Twitch reached 20,000 followers.[4] Soon after, her Twitter reached 15000 followers on 5 December 2020.[5]
2021[]
Yuniiho began hinting at new design in the winter season, and announced its completion on 13 January, during her daily art stream. She plans to "Re-debut" under this new design. She began doing weekly "spoilers" for the design by showing her audience unrelated pictures of dogs with certain aspects of her new model, like a harness, paint splatters, etc... The first official image of this new design was posted to her twitter on 26 January 2021.[6]
On 1 March, Yuniiho unveiled a model depicting her "true form", a Live2D model of a small, squishy, plush-like pink dog. This model was rigged by DyaRikku, and remains on the channel as a points reward, allowing viewers to make her switch models.
On 6 March, Yuniiho reached 30,000 followers on her Twitch account, celebrating this event on twitter.[7] She held a celebration stream on Twitch 2 days later.
On 20 March, Yuniiho revived her Youtube channel as a posting site for small, short clips from her Twitch streams.
On 1 April, Yuniiho initiated a war with fellow VTuber DyaRikku. This caused a conflict between the #HORNIREVOLUTION and #SEISOCOPS factions. Many other artists and VTubers joined in on the conflict, and it was decided with a Twitter vote where fans chose a side.[8]
On 23 April, Yuniiho held her first ever subathon, celebrating one year of Twitch partnership. During this subathon lasting over 12 hours, she held many collabs and giveaways. She accumulated 2000 subscriptions, breaking all of her subscription goals, including two made mid-stream
Yuniiho and her friend DyaRikku opened a Youtube channel where they will post edited content like compilations, with its first video being uploaded on 6 May.[9]
On 29 August, Yuniiho held her last stream with what was, at that point, her current model. From there she went on break, promising to re-debut with the new model she'd been hinting at, and working on, since the start of the year.[10]. She then had to immediately clarify that she wasn't graduating after around a dozen people misinterpreted the content of her tweet.[11] She conducted her new model debut on 25 September 2021, also showing off new assets, Twitch panels, overlays, and original BGM.[12] Her debut also coincided with the first Vyugen collab stream where they played Gartic phone, and Yuniiho reached 50,000 followers on her Twitch channel in the process.[13]
2022[]
On 9 September, Yuniiho re-debuted as a parallel universe version of herself that accidentally became a goddess. This re-debut included a new model, overlays, lore video, music, and more.[14] The stream was a massive success, but some over-exposure during the lore video led to her Twitch channel being banned overnight.[15]
What was originally a 3-day ban was reduced to a single day, and Yuniiho returned to Twitch on September 12 with a post-ban re-re-debut stream[16], but not before making fun of Twitch's lack of banning consistency on Twitter[17] as well as appearing on an episode of FalseEyeD's News show "Things Vtubers Say".[18]
2023[]
On 1 April, Mythic Talent's Twitter account announced that Yuniiho joined.[19]
2024[]
On 12 February, Yuniiho announced her graduation. She will cease her activities as a VTuber on March 10, 2024.[20]
Fanbase[]
Yuniiho's fanbase are called the Pesties! They are small, round, plant-like creatures that are supposedly formed from the souls of humanity after the world's destruction. Their bodies are composed of all of the essential ingredients to make pesto, including a filling of extra-virgin olive oil.
Trivia[]
- Yuniiho is the designer of many VTubers, like Captain Hannah, Zentreya, Selkie, Sayu Sincronisity, Murasaki Hiroshi and Lily Sin.
- Her favorite pizza toppings are french fries and sausage (especially together).[21] Her love of pesto also spreads to the realm of pizza toppings.
- Yuniiho's fans will often tease her by wishing her happy birthday on random days, at any given time. This is due to her birthday being on the 24th of July, making her birthday "24/7". This has led to her calling her birthday cursed.
- When asked, her blood type was "O-Fuck".
- Though she may preface some tweets or streams with "Ohayuni!", this is not her official catchphrase or greeting.
- Her ears have the ability to flap up and down, but she only does this on special occasions.
- She has a half-dog/half-whale child with Bao. The child's name is Pestonini, and often appears beside her in her livestreams.
- The combination of her white strands of hair and age of 100 dog years causes some fans to tease her, calling her old and/or a boomer.
