Higuchi Kaede

Her best features are her silver ponytail, white ribbon, and mole under her right eye. She's known for her "nah-ha-ha" laugh and has a habit of saying "Naande!" (なぁーんで！ Whyyyy!). She tries to speak in standard Japanese, but as she's from the "Kansai region of the virtual world", her Kansai dialect often slips through, which often leads to her own unique vocabulary, such as "Manji no jijou" (卍の二乗 Manji squared), "Warota piipou" (わろたピーポー LOL people), and "Marumaru piiman" (○○ピーマン XYZ bell pepper). Being a member of the High School Girl Gang, she uses the most schoolgirl-like language of the three and is the most youthful, to the point where she's sometimes referred to as "the NIJISANJI Highschool Girl" (にじさんじのJK担当, NIJISANJI no JK tantou).

She has long, silvery hair with a basic ponytail with a large white hair bow and two plain white hair clips with purple eyes.

On 11 January 2018, Ichikara Inc. announced that it was recruiting "Official Virtual Livers" to serve as representatives for its iPhoneX app, NIJISANJI. Higuchi Kaede's YouTube channel was created on 31 January 2018, and her Twitter account was created the same month. Her first tweet was made on 31 January 2018.

On 9 February 2018, Kaede uploaded her first YouTube video. Later that day, she streamed for the first time as part of a relay with the other Virtual Livers on Mirrativ.

• Color: White
• She shares the same illustrator as Tsukino Mito, Suzuya Aki, Moira and Yuuhi Riri.
• She is sometimes referred to using the words "Hey!" (ちょっと！, chotto!) or "hetero" (ヘテロ). Those stem from a (not publicly recorded) livestream where a fan sent her lesbian fanart (a parody of the Yuri series Citrus) involving her and Tsukino Mito, and Kaede responded indignantly with those words.
• When she was in the second grade, the boy she liked was going to change schools on Valentine's Day, so she learned how to make cookies from her mother and gave them to him (uncooked).
