Personality
Airi is an android developed based on Airi Yamagishi (山岸愛梨), a weather newscaster of Weathernews. She aims to make everyone interested in weather, but in her videos, she usually does hosting discussions, introducing fan arts, chatting and challenges like other VTubers except a few minute weather forecast.
Airi Yamagishi, often called Airin (あいりん) by her fan, claims that she is Airi's manager, even though her acting was revealed by an accident.
Airi is cheerful and serious, but she is often embarrassed by problems with motion capture and camera switching. This is why she is called Ponko (ポン子), a combination of ponkotsu (ポンコツ, junk, useless or unreliable) and ko (子, a common suffix of Japanese names given to female).
Trivia
- Due to the motion capture software not functioning properly, the joints of Airi's avatar will sometimes twist in odd directions. Fans endearingly refers to this phenomenon as "bone fracture"(骨折).
- Every Thursday, Airi is voiced by the weather forecaster, Yamagishi Airi (Airin), while the rest of her live streams use text-to-speech software.
- When Airi debut as a YouTuber in 2018, she was called "a new star who has seven-year career" (7年目の新人, literally: new star of seventh-year). She was first debut at SOLiVE24 in 2012, and her actress, Yamagishi Airi, joined Weathernews in 2008. Yamagishi is also the longest-tenured SOLiVE24 anchor as of 2018.
