Zhuni Excel

Zhuni is marked by his passion for subjects that interest him. When the topic of a conversation shifts to a subject he feels strongly about, he will enthusiastically share his opinions and questions about it. He will sometimes incorporate his love of graphs and spreadsheets into these discussions, and he has produced several lengthy and detailed analyses on various music, anime, and even his own chat in this way.

Zhuni is often beleaguered by life challenges and awkward circumstances, in part because of all the trials his academic journey entails, but he finds ways to vent his frustrations creatively and humorously, whether through music or storytelling. He sometimes describes himself as having "grumpy old man" or "decrepit old man" energy, in the sense that he prefers to live life at his own pace and often finds the rush of life and the energy of the people around him to be a lot to handle.

Zhuni also has a more calm and thoughtful side, especially shown through his first original song "Where Are You Now?" He often goes out of his way to show support for his friends in the VTuber community and encourages others to do the same.

Zhuni has red eyes and straight black hair with a noticeable ahoge, and wears glasses.

His outfit consists of a full-body black spandex suit with green highlights and a white lab coat, usually worn over his shoulders, with reflective green markings and purple padding on the inside. He has a utility belt containing a pouch and two test tubes, as well as protective plating on the sides of his legs.

Zhuni Excel's Twitter account was created in September 2022 and his YouTube channel was created on 8 December 2022.

An absolutely ordinary human, Zhuni is not a mix of any mythical beings, animals, or spiritual entities. He does not have any supernatural abilities, Zhuni just works hard. As a young faculty member at a prestigious University, he often works late into the evening on his projects keeping himself company by quietly singing and making weird fart noises. Despite Zhuni’s success, he feels a bit empty. He hopes to find that spark and awe in life through music and meeting new friends.
