Official Bio

"A kimono-clad Oni girl from the Demonic-Realm Academy. As she loves to prank people, she always uses will-o’-the-wisp on them just to have fun. Many may not realize it, but she is actually the president of the student council."

Overview

Nakiri Ayame (百鬼あやめ) born December 13th, is an oni. She is a member of the Hololive 2nd Generation. She debuted on September 3rd, 2018, while her Twitter account and her Youtube Channel was created on August 1, 2018 and August 12, 2018, respectively. Her 3D model debut was on May 17^th, 2019 ^[1] and soon after that on August 9^th, 2019, she debuted her 3D Swimsuit model. ^[2] Her second outfit was announced on Twitter^[3] and was revealed in Youtube on November 23, 2019.^[4]

As of May 21, 2020, she has 237000 subscribers on Youtube and 345000 subscribers on her Bilibili channel.

She streams a variety of games on her channel, like Minecraft--where she is possibly the best builder in Hololive--or FPS games such as PUBG or Apex Legends. (where she ended Season 4 at Diamond 4) ^[5] Other games include Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Monster Hunter World (and its expansion, Iceborne), Mario Kart, ARK (though only for a few streams), and Rhythm Heaven.

She's known for her soothing voice and infectious giggles and laughs during her stream. She's also notoriously bad at waking up, as she's always the last to wake up in multiple morning wake-up streams. ^[6] ^[7] ^[8]

One other thing she's known for is her great luck when it comes to videogames and odds. Examples of her 'great luck' include, but are not limited to:

Her "The Stream Doesn't End Until I Fish Up an Enchanted Book!" Minecraft stream^[9], where after she casts her first line, she gets an enchanted book. The odds of this happening is 0.7%.
Another Minecraft stream, titled "I Ain't Gonna Stop Until I Get My Diamonds!"^[10], 30 minutes after the stream started she finds a vein of 5 diamonds. Not wanting to end right there, she wanted to find a second vein, and 15 minutes after the first vein encounter, she finds a vein of 8 diamonds. Without a fortune pick, she mined 13 diamonds, which is a 1:1 ratio of block/diamond.
More recently, during an Apex stream^[11], she mentions of a skin she wanted from a weapon, and after opening just one lootbox, she gets the aforementioned skin.

Personality

She has a calm and easy-going demeanor. Most of the time in streams, she prefers to just talk about different topics and often gets sidetracked from one topic to the other, then going back to the original topic 20 minutes later. While playing games, she gets very competitive, and on some moments, becomes totally silent as she tries to focus ingame. Even on a loss, however, she takes it in stride and laughs about it.

Greetings and Fans

Her greeting is "Konnakiri", a portmanteau of "Konnichiwa ("Hello") and "Nakiri", and her farewell is "Otsunakiri", a combination of "Otsukare" ("Good work") and "Nakiri". Her viewers call Ayame "Ojou" (お嬢). It roughly translates to "Young Lady". She calls her fans “人間様” which literally means "Humans", while she refers to herself as "Yo" (余). The word in her context means the same thing as "I".

When something cute happens on her stream, chat will often say "Kawayo" (かわ余). This is a portmanteau of "Kawaii" (かわいい） and "Yo" (余).

Other Media

She was part of a collaboration with Dawn of the Breakers alongside Shirakami Fubuki, Oozora Subaru, Sakura Miko, Akai Haato, and Natsuiro Matsuri. The event ran from September 12^th, 2019 to October 31^st, 2019. ^[12]

Trivia
