Personality

Luna is energetic, free spirited, and in stark contrast to many popular female VTubers, is quite vulgar and can be insulting to her viewers as well (though it is always in good nature fun).

Appearance

She has white hair in small pigtails and short blunt bangs and light blue eyes. She has two straight black hair accessories and a plus shaped hairclip with a red circle in the middle and black and yellow cat ears.

Background

On 10 December 2017, Luna made her YouTube debut with a video titled 【Self-Introduction】Kaguya Luna's Special Skill is Amazing!!!

Mascot and fans

  • Luna refers to her fans as Lunafam. It is a portmanteau of "Luna" and "family."

Likes and dislikes

  • She loves blood, chatting, singing, and playing video games.
  • She hates dancing.
  • Her dream is to become "The YouTuber that can give everyone smiles."

Miscellaneous

  • In some fan arts and memes, she loves to drink Strong Zero, a Japanese alcohol produced by Suntory, because she talks like she's drunk and the colors of her avatar is similar to the can of Strong Zero. She even jokingly wants to be part of a Suntory TV ad. * Her animated outro shows her being hit in the head with a censored object. This seems to be a reference to one of her videos where she talks about being hit in the head with a package of tofu. The censored object is a can of Suntory's alcoholic beverage Strong Zero. * Apart from using the tempura shrimp emoji in her tweets, she also uses the ASCII emoticon ∠( 'ω')/ * She calls some friends by nicknames: ** She calls Kizuna Ai "Oyabun" (親分, lit. Boss). This is due to Ai's phenomenal success on YouTube, which saw her reach #1 most subscribed Virtual YouTuber. *** Ai calls Luna "Tsuki-chan" (つきちゃん), from the common reading of the kanji used in her name, meaning "moon." ** She calls Dennou Shojo Siro "Iruka-senpai" (イルカ先輩). It references her nickname "white dolphin" from the sound she makes when she laughs, and refers to her as "senpai," "senior," because Siro debuted before her. ** She calls Mirai Akari "Mii-chan-senpai" (みーちゃん先輩). * She her character designer Mika Pikazo founded a company called THE MOON STUDIO, which serves as her official agency and creator studio. The Moon Studio ended activities on 30 September 2019, and since then she is represented directly by the company behind her concept, Vic inc. * On recent videos Luna has now a sidekick called "Justin Ebiber" (ジャスティン・エビーバー), which is a talking tempura shrimp. * Her special skill is identifying someone's blood type even if they have never met before. * In a poll during the show Special Show: AI Connects to the World ("Notokuban"), broadcast on 1 December 2018, Kaguya Nana was rated #7 top Virtual Youtuber. * Toboso Kuroi and Omaru Polka both cite Kaguya Luna as among their inspirations to become a VTuber. * Hinasaki Yuma and Yoruno Neon have been compared to Kaguya Luna in terms of having similar sounding voices. * Other VTubers named Luna include hololive's Himemori Luna, Nemu (formerly known as Luna the Magikarp), WACTOR member Rurine Luna, and Amane Luna.
