Personality

Yotsuha is a bright, cheerful, and high-spirited young woman. She is quite talkative and energetic and greatly enjoys chatting with her viewers, including holding regular morning Asahapi (朝はぴ) zatsudan streams. As the sole extravert among the Ranunculus members, she often spurs on her debut-mates and drags them along with her antics; she is known for her chronic inability to sit still (動きがうるさい, "ugoki ga urusai", movement is noisy) especially after receiving her 3D model, and her energy can be very infectious.

Despite her association with four-leaf clovers, she can be shockingly unlucky in collabs featuring games with significant RNG elements. But just as her profile states, she never lets these runs of bad luck get her down. She has been described by others as a very hard worker behind the scenes, and despite her silliness, she also has a caring and nurturing side, an instinct that she herself has mentioned having.

Appearance

Yotsuha has long dark purple hair that has a few white streaks, with a pair of hair buns on either side of her head. She has several hair accessories, including an orange "U4" clipped to her left hair bun and some hairclips including a purple UFO clip. She has yellow-orange eyes. Her left ear has a gold ringed planet earring with a rainbow ray. In her default appearance, she wears a white, lavender, orange, and yellow windbreaker decorated with badges. Beneath the jacket, she wears a short-sleeved orange polo dress with a pleated skirt, over which she wears a black and white V-neck sweatervest and a black and white striped tie. She wears mismatched black and orange socks tucked into white, purple, and orange sneakers. She also has various space and alien-themed accessories, including a lavender alien-shaped pouch with a rocket ship keychain, a set of bracelets with an alien charm, a phone with an astronaut charm, and planet-shaped shoe charms. Options: * Her jacket is removable. * She can wear an astronaut helmet, which is white and in the same alien shape as her shoulder pouch, and has an transparent orange visor decorated with stickers.
Yotsuha's second outfit, which matches those of the other Ranunculus members, is an idol-style uniform consisting of a sleeveless white blazer with black tartan trim, a cropped orange vest and ruffled white dress shirt with a orange and white striped tie, a pair of orange short pants with a large white and orange overskirt, a pair of black thigh-high stockings with gold trim, and a pair of white long boots with orange laces. Her accessories include a hairtie, brooch, and belt, all with ranunculus motifs; an orange armband; and white gloves. The outfit also came with a new hairstyle, featuring Yotsuha tying her hair up into a high ponytail.
As a VTA student, Yotsuha had long, dark brown hair tied into half-twintails. One side of her bangs was decorated with blue, lime green, and purple hairpins. She had yellow-orange eyes, much like she does in her current appearance. 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 Umise Yotsuha.

On 4 November 2021, Yotsuha 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. Yotsuha was placed in class 2, alongside Kaburaki Roco, 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.

On 16 March 2022, ANYCOLOR announced that Yotsuha would be graduating from VTA to debut directly into NIJISANJI as part of the unit "Ranunculus", the first wave of Livers formed from VTA graduates. In preparation for her debut, Yotsuha received a full redesign, and all YouTube videos previously created during her time in VTA were hidden.

Yotsuha's YouTube channel was created on 2 March 2022, and her Twitter account was also created in the same month. Her first Tweet was made on 16 March 2022.

Debut

Ranunculus made their debut on 20 March 2022. Yotsuha was the second of the group to debut. Afterwards, all three members appeared in a special debut program on the NIJISANJI Official channel.

Ranunculus' first original song, "DONBURA KONBURA SPEAKERS", was released shortly after the program. This song was written and produced by 's.

Fans

  • Yotsuha's fans are officially referred to as "Shirotsumates" (シロツメイト), a portmanteau of "shirotsumekusa" (シロツメクサ, ) and "mate".
  • Her channel members are called different things depending on tier: "Koatsumates" (コアツメイト) for first tier members, and "Hogo Shakai" (保護者会, parents' association) members for second tier members.
  • Her fanmark is 🍀 (four-leaf clover).

Relationships

Character and lore

Miscellaneous

  • Lore-wise she is described as being a "poor" university student, but this does not seem to be far off from her real life situation:
  • The only cooking implements she owns are one singular frying pan and a singular spatula.
  • She has no rice cooker, so she eats on its own, leading Amagase Muyu to worry about her and tell her to "stop eating bird food". Her staple foods are soup, water, and furikake.
  • When she debuted, she had a refrigerator but no freezer, so did not use it. A bit over half a year after debuting, she was finally able to buy one with a freezer and was quite happy about being able to eat ice cream.
  • Despite not owning a microwave or a vacuum cleaner, her PC has fairly high specifications and was quite expensive. She bought a high refresh-rate monitor intended for FPS gaming specifically for her NIJISANJI debut, and has stated that she "starved" afterwards as a result.
  • She has worked several part-time jobs while repaying the debt to her parents for covering her tuition, including at a convenience store, in customer service, and in restaurants.
  • She has a younger sister, who she refers to as "Imohapi" (いもはぴ); within her family Yotsuha is referred to as "Nene" (ねね), an even cuter abbreviation of nee-nee (姉姉, older sister). She tends to dote on and spoil Imohapi, and when she returns home they often play multiplayer together.
  • She can play the French horn and trumpet, and was part of the brass band in middle school. Other instruments she has played before but is not as proficient at include flute, drums, ', ',, and piano. She is currently learning to play the bass guitar.
  • Sports she has experience in include swimming, volleyball, and horseback riding. She was also part of the cheerleading club in high school, but had to quit due to an injury.
  • She took the Hogwarts House test and was sorted into Hufflepuff.
  • 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, Nei into Ravenclaw, and Roco into Slytherin.
  • She is a good friend of 's in real life. She revealed this fact in a stream on 10 July 2023, with Miki confirming it in a blog post the next day. Miki revealed that Yotsuha had previously come to see her at, while Miki had watched Yotsuha's 3D model debut and was surprised when Yotsuha sung Morning Musume's "Daisuki Dakara Zettai ni Yurusanai" (大好きだから絶対に許さない).
  • Her reason for joining NIJISANJI was that while she knew she wanted to do something fun and related to entertainment, she wanted to do something where she could share that fun with others.
  • Yotsuha's first impressions of the VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) first generation members → her current impressions of them:
  • Muyu: "Super cool modern onee-san." → "A baby who puts up the image of being a cool woman."
  • Nei: "She's so quiet, but speaks really fast when talking about otaku things. Kind of always late, but a super cheerful girl." → "Tsundere."
  • Fura Kanato: "Super extraverted. Kinda scary." → "Kusogaki."
  • Watarai Hibari: "An extravert who seems to be good with people." Her current impression hasn't changed other than adding on the fact that he's a really good singer.
  • Shikinagi Akira: "He seems a little pompous, but probably has some leadership skills." → "Easily lonely, basket case, pompous man-baby."
  • Seraph Dazzlegarden: "Eh? He really doesn't talk." → "Super cute. Everyone's little brother."
  • Roco: "High-spirited, cheerful girl who's constantly swaying back and forth energetically." → "Yu~p, I wuv her. ♡"
