Claude Clawmark

He has light blonde hair with purple highlights, and teal and purple eyes. He has a mole under the left side of his mouth, and a small scar over the right side. He frequently wears a mask over the bottom half of his face. The mask is a consistent feature within all his outfits. His name references the large clawed gloves in his first outfit. Claude's new default outfit is his 2nd outfit, also called FPS outfit.

His YouTube channel was created on 11 October 2023, his Twitter was created in the same month in 2023.

On 25 October 2023, NIJISANJI announced the 9th wave consisting of Claude Clawmark, Victoria Brightshield and Kunai Nakasato.

On 27 October 2023, Clawmark debuted on his YouTube channel, and was the last member to debut. During the stream, he released his first solo cover song "In The Back Room" by syudou.

• Claude's fans are called "Outclaws." They do not have an official design yet, as Claude has said he wants the outclaw design to be more like a blank slate. Claude has also mentioned the previous description of a griffin on his VTuber Wiki page as "someone's headcanon".
• Outclaw run club is a challenge done in April to get 10,000 steps every day for that month to encourage more physical activity among the fanbase. Outclaws will post a screenshot of their step count along with a photo of their Claude pape (colloquially called "clawpe") with the hashtag #clawpecardio. This challenge started in April 2025 and is a yearly tradition.
• A popular nickname for Claude is "wife." The nickname "wife" was first brought up on the 2026 New Years Resolutions stream where Claude asked chat how to describe him, the consensus was "oomf, wife, guy." The wife nickname is less about the marriage aspect but more of a way to show affection and more in the vein of "ah my beautiful wife! I am working hard to make money to support you!" and so Claude will play along with the "wife" bit and say things like "Husband, we have no money."

When it comes to voice acting in voice packs, Claude has an alter ego called the Green Goblin, a reference to the comic book character from the Spider-Man series. Just as Norman Osborn doesn't remember what happens when he is the Green Goblin, so too does Claude during the recording of voice packs. The voice packs are where Claude will do more fanservice which embarrasses him and is something he feels like doesn't suit him but wants to still try out in order to improve, hence the cognitive dissonance needed." * Dislikes: aggressive heat, tomatoes, fruits, ball sports, breakfast foods, jeans, sparkling water, graphic design, and his voice. ** Despite his dislike for his own voice, it is notable that he is extremely talented in both singing and voice acting. ** He hates having a dirty workspace and so will clean his apartment pretty often. ** He does not like drinking alcohol and even during drinking off collabs hosted by Luca Kaneshiro, he will choose to drink diet coke instead. ** The reason he dislikes breakfast foods but especially Jimmy Dean's Pancakes and Sausage On a Stick is due to his mom buying them in bulk from Costco. In high school, he would eat them in the morning but it would upset his stomach around second period, thus he would have to rush to the bathroom right after. He did this every day for a year.
