Personality

Since her very first introduction as a VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) trainee, Roco has been very talkative and creative on her streams; some examples of her creativity include her debut stream, in which instead of a typical introduction like her debut-mates, she presented it in form of a company orientation of what would be her own amusement park; and the monetization pre-party stream, where she did a "pseudo-superchat reading" using messages submitted from her fans, something that originated from one of her VTA-era streams.

Post-debut, Roco often takes advantage of her inexperience in gaming, making fresh reactions to already-popular games like, and ; she also regularly hosts a special chatting/zatsudan stream where she presents a report of her sightseeing.

Despite having the gaps in officially debuting under NIJISANJI for almost a year and half a year respectively, Roco still sees her fellow ex-VTA groups Ranunculus and VOLTACTION as friends like her debut-mates, even expressing her agony over treating them as her senpais publicly.

Appearance

Roco has medium length blonde hair with hair buns on both sides of her head and two tiny bows in her bangs. Her eyes are green. She wears a black baseball cap with the number 65 on it. In her default appearance, she wears a mostly dark blue over coat and a light blue sleeveless jacket underneath with a two toned hood, over a black cropped halter top and black bike shorts. She wears white shoes with mismatched teal and black socks. Her other accessories include a black choker with a teal buckle, a pair of garterbelts around her left thigh with an attached pouch, green and black bracelets, and a black waist pouch with yellow accents and a gold charm with the ◇◆ motif that all of the Idios members share. She also wears a pair of rings with the same motifs on her left hand. Options: * Her coat, hat, waist pouch, and hair bows are all individually removable. * She can wear the accessories she modelled for Dinamis' 23AW / Added softness Collection.
Roco's second outfit consists of denim overall shorts over a off-shoulder white T-shirt, an offblack beret with a small orange flower decoration, a necklace with a gold key pendant, and a pair of short gold socks tucked into brown boots. The outfit came with a new hairstyle, which features Roco letting her hair down and a variety of hairclips. Options: * She can wear a green and offblack hooded varsity jacket decorated with various badges and decals. * She can don an artist's apron. * She can hold a brush. * She can be covered with multicolored paint splatter.
As a VTA student, Roco had long blonde hair with a pair of hairbuns on both sides of her head, similar to her current appearance. Her eyes were bright green. She wore the standard VTA first generation female uniform, consisting of a black hooded varsity jacket with white stripes, a black cardigan, a white dress shirt, a black necktie with blue, lime green, and purple stripes, a pleated black skirt with diagonal pinstripes along the bottom hem, calf-length black socks, and black loafers.

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.

On 1 November 2021, VTA opened official YouTube and Twitter accounts and revealed the names and appearances of its first generation students, including Kaburaki Roco.

On 4 November 2021, Roco held her first stream on the VTA channel. Her first Tweet was made on 8 November 2021.

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. Roco was placed in class 2, alongside Umise Yotsuha, Misono Satoshi, Shikinagi Akira, and Suzumiya Sonata; the division was based on their streaming schedules, with class 1 streaming on Fridays and class 2 streaming on Thursdays.

Following Ranunculus' NIJISANJI debut in March 2022 and the arrival of VTA's second generation students in June 2022, the classes were re-shuffled. Roco became part of the new class 2, alongside Fura Kanato, Satoshi, Tachitsute Toto, Meano, Mikuni Otoha, Kasukabe Azusa, Koyanagi Rou, Hiyama Ritsu, Onibushi Chihaya, and Hoshirube Sho.

On 16 January 2023, ANYCOLOR announced the debut of 7 new female NIJISANJI Livers, including Roco - making her the last active member of VTA's first generation to graduate from VTA and debut into NIJISANJI. The 7 Livers' debut stream relays were to be held on 19 January and 20 January 2023. In preparation for her debut, Roco received a full redesign, and all YouTube videos previously created during her time in VTA were hidden.

Roco's YouTube channel was created on 24 October 2022, and her Twitter in January 2023. Her first Tweet was made on 16 January 2023.

Debut

The 7 Livers whose debuts were announced on 16 January 2023 started their activities that same day. On 17 January 2023, they were introduced on a segment of 's news program, which aired nationwide and included profiles and reactions to the announcement of their debut.

Roco made her debut on 20 January 2023, and was the sixth of the group to hold her first stream. On 21 January 2023, the members held a clip compilation relay, with clips taken from a collab they had done prior to their debut.

Fans

  • Roco's fanbase is officially called "Amusemates" (アミューズメイト).
  • Her official fanclub is called the "Kaburaki Yūenchi Shiensha no Kai" (鏑木遊園地支援者の会, Kaburaki Amusement Park Supporters' Association).
  • Her fanmarks are 🍕 (pizza) and 🎢 (roller coaster).

Relationships

Character and lore

Miscellaneous

  • Idios' default outfits all feature accessories with a shared ◇◆ motif, all of which are rreal-life accessories from the brand Dinamis' 23AW / symbol Collection (a brand they later officially became models for). The accessories were designed by Sophia's illustrator yadapot.
  • Roco's accessories include Ring NBS-2303 on her left hand and Fastener Charm NBS-2302 on her waist pouch.
  • Idios is the fifth NIJISANJI debut wave in a row in which the wave's presumed youngest member is also the tallest, with Roco following the same trend as Ranunculus' Amagase Muyu, ILUNA's Kyo Kaneko (after his main model update), VOLTACTION's Seraph Dazzlegarden, and XSOLEIL's Doppio Dropscythe.
  • The 16 cm (more than 6") height difference between her and Shishido Akari (Idios' shortest member) caused Akari to be very intimidated by her when they first met, however they later quickly bonded while shopping together and talking about their favorite animals. In fact, their first ever collabs were with each other.
  • Roco is not only the youngest member of Idios but of Ano 8-Nin; she is the only member of both groups who is too young to drink and will remain that way forever . She still does participate in Idios' drinking off-collabs and sometimes goes out with them when they go drinking, however her debut-mates make it very clear that Roco only drinks cola or other non-alcoholic beverages when this happens.
  • On 2 July 2023, Sophia, Ishigami Nozomi, Rika, and Kuramochi Meruto held a drinking off-collab; while this was happening, Roco sulked about being underage and thus being left out as she was streaming solo. As consolation, Nozomi and Akari later took her out for .
  • The other girls in Ano 8-Nin (i.e., the members of Ranunculus) started doting on and spoiling Roco when they realized she was younger than they were; Roco in turn wishes that the Ranunculus girls were her actual older sisters.
  • She has a driver's license.
  • She owns and plays several musical instruments:
  • An Epiphone Hummingbird Artist acoustic guitar
  • A Schecter OL-TL electric guitar
  • A Yamaha BB234 electric bass
  • A keyboard and synthesizer
  • A ukelele
  • An accordion
  • She bought a copy of Hatsune Miku and has tried the version of Kasane Teto, however found the software too difficult to use.
  • She is part of the film studies club in university.
  • She used to write s in junior high school, and posted stories.
  • She is somewhat self-conscious of the relative lack of NSFW/sensitive fanworks featuring her, and has asked Rika for advice on how to improve her sex appeal. She even left a comment on a clip replying "kiresou" (キレそう, I'm about to lose it) to a viewer comment comparing the number of Idios members' NSFW fanworks.
  • She has also requested that viewers make of her, and if they don't, she'll draw them herself.
  • She took the Pottermore Hogwarts House test and was sorted into Slytherin.
  • Interestingly, the four girls of Ano 8-Nin were each sorted into the houses roughly corresponding to their image colors for their respective playthroughs: Yotsuha into Hufflepuff, Muyu into Gryffindor, Ponto Nei into Ravenclaw, and Roco into Slytherin.
  • Her first exposure to NIJISANJI was a video by Tsukino Mito, which she watched back in junior high school. After that, she tried unsuccessfully to audition for NIJISANJI multiple times and almost gave up until she learned about the VTA auditions, which she applied to the day they opened.
  • The VTubers she looks up to the most are Mito, Kizuna Ai, and Hanabatake Chaika; she even stated in an ANYCOLOR audition that she would like to play a similar role as Chaika.

Identity

Name
  • Roco's surname 鏑木 is sometimes mispronounced as the more popular reading "Kaburagi" by both new viewers and other Livers (including one of her own debut-mates); in fact, she even clarifies that it is pronounced "Kaburaki" in the descriptions of both her YouTube channel and Twitter account. It is so prevalent that her debut-mates often joke about Roco's anger over the mispronunciation.
  • Roco's given name is written in hiragana (ろこ), usually reserved for feminine names.
  • The syllables "ro" and "ko/co" are with the numbers 6 and 5 respectively, hence why the number 65 appears prominently on her clothing and her Twitter handle is @65_kaburaki. It is also the reason why she refers to 5 June, or 6/5, as "Roco no Hi" (ろこの日, Roco Day).
