Suzukaze Shitora

Suzukaze Shitora (涼風しとら) is a female Japanese VTuber who debuted on the 11th of September 2021. She is affiliated with SHINENGUMI (深淵組). Her fanbase name is "Suzukaze Shinja (涼風信者)," meaning "Suzukaze's Messenger." Suzukaze Shitora is widely known as "Fried Rice Sister" (炒飯妹妹) among Mandarin-speaking fans. This nickname was given by another... VTuber, Mochimiko (茸茸鼠). The nickname became a viral meme after she unknowingly repeated the phrase "I want to make fried rice" on stream, unaware of its sexual double entendre. This linguistic misunderstanding greatly boosted her popularity in Taiwan and motivated her to learn Mandarin. She frequently interacts with Chinese-speaking viewers across languages during her livestreams. Through diligent self-study, she also passed the Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL), administered by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education. She was also invited to perform virtually at Taiwan’s “Taoyuan Interstellar City New Year’s Eve Gala (桃園星際城跨年晚會),” making her one of the few independent Japanese VTubers to have achieved notable success in promoting cultural exchange between Japan and Taiwan. Suzukaze Shitoraa’s core identity is centered around being an “Apprentice Singing Goddess,” and her musical activities are exceptionally energetic. With remarkable passion, she maintains a high frequency of two to three singing livestreams (uta-waku) every week, while also demonstrating an impressively vast knowledge of songs. Her repertoire spans a wide range of classic anime songs, popular music (J-Pop), and Vocaloid, and she is renowned for her strong improvisational ability. During her livestreams, she often takes song requests directly from viewers and fulfills them on the spot. Although her everyday speaking style tends to be soft, cute, and somewhat airheaded, her singing voice has been praised by fans and commentators as both powerful and skillful, creating a striking contrast that has become one of her most recognizable personal trademarks.
