More Info
Profile
An eternally 13-year-old second-year middle school student who lives in the virtual world and wonders if one day he will grow up and his voice will change. He hates normalcy and ordinary life and tries to perfect his coolness on streams but his attempts are often in vain.
2018
On 13 December, Ichikara Inc. announced that NIJISANJI Gamers and NIJISANJI SEEDs would merge with NIJISANJI by the end of the month. As a result, Masaru is now officially affiliated with NIJISANJI.
On 21 December, Masaru created a new YouTube channel and had his first stream on 23 December 2018. The reason was because after half a year since his debut, somehow his channel did not get permission for monetisation.
2020
On 13 May, Masaru debuted in the new NIJISANJI music unit "Rain Drops," which is signed under the major music record label Virgin Records (Universal Music Group). The other members in this unit are Elu, Ryushen, Warabeda Meiji, Joe Rikiichi, and Saegusa Akina.
2021
On 9 August, celebrating his birthday, Masaru unveiled his new main costume, much like Elu, Suzuka Utako, Gaon, and Han Chiho.
On 20 September, Masaru unveiled his 3.0 update to his Live2D model with Twitter hashtag #鈴木勝update.
On 22 October, Masaru's YouTube channel reached 200,000 subscribers.
2022
- On the same stream, he also explained about the changes on ASMR stream that had been going on for the past few months. Apparently, due to his model being an underage character, under the new YouTube's policy, he is not allowed to do ASMR stream. Therefore, he is working hard training to 'grow' himself so he is allowed to do ASMR stream again.
On 25 April, Masaru launched his official LINE sticker line up.
On 8 May, Masaru reached 230,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
On 1 June, it was announced that Masaru will hold his personal 3D model debut stream on 8 June 2022. This will be his second 3D model after the Rain Drop version.
On 7 June, Masaru announced that his ASMR stream archives is made private due to changes in YouTube's term and temporarily stop the Tuesday ASMR stream. Afterwards, he started doing his ASMR streams with Yugamin's (NIJISANJI's mascot) Live2D model instead.
On 9 June, Masaru reached 240,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
On 11 September, Masaru announced that he is officially taking a break from streaming after not streaming for a month due to his health condition. He later explained in a stream following the announcement that he is still recovering from the cough he got after getting tonsillitis, which especially effects his voice.
On 13 December, Masaru revealed his new appearance as a young silver wolf (銀狼). This appearance will be used especially for his ASMR streams. The model includes poses where he shows both of his front paws, one of the paw holding ear cleaner (for ear cleaning ASMR), and both his front paws covered with suds and bubbles floating around (for shampooing ASMR).
2023
On 7 January, Masaru revealed his new outfit montsuki haori hakama (紋付羽織袴, the most traditional formal attire for men in Japan) with black, grey, and white pattern; and a short side-ponytail as new hairstyle.
2024
On 23 April, the formation of a NIJISANJI musical performance unit began to be teased, with founding members Eli Conifer, Masaru, and Seraph Dazzlegarden posting silhouettes using the hashtag #にじさんじ演奏ユニットプロジェクト on successive days. On 26 April, the unit's remaining members, Tachitsute Toto and Emma★August, were revealed via a video uploaded on Masaru's channel, having been chosen by audition. The unit's name was revealed to be Gakudan V!VO in an announcement stream on Seraph's channel on 28 April; official social media accounts for the group opened following the stream.
