According to her introduction video, she has mentioned she is living around the mountains near a forest of elves, and lives at her grandfather's log cabin. One of the rooms was refurbished to give it a more Japanese-like feeling to it, as portrayed by her second room background.[16]
White-haired animal-eared otaku fox. She loves talking with people and will be happy if you give her the time of day. She aims to become a top otaku idol while enjoying each and every day.
She is most known for her short-skit videos posted on Twitter and Youtube. Having an exposure to western and eastern culture memes, she demonstrates it to her audience in some shape or form. She is dubbed as the "Queen of Memes", among other related titles that the fans have given her.
She plays a variety of games, and often loves to try out any kind of games in any genres. Despite saying that she doesn't like horror games, she seems to enjoy streaming and playing them. When she was asked about her skills, she admitted that she had terrible aim in FPS games.
She is also known to be a poor driver, having a tendency to mess around with her colleagues to get a laugh out of them as well.
She is known to be a whale (high spender) in gacha games and any other games with similar aspects, and has shown streaming her rolls in mobile games like FGO and Twisted Wonderland.
In Japanese, the onomatopoeia for a fox’s bark is “kon-kon.” which sounds like "corn". As a result, corn has become Fubuki’s representative emoji.
Shirakami Fubuki debuted with a personality showing off a timid, shy girl that fumbles over her words often, often hiding off the screen and quickly running away when doing embarrassing things. She enjoys talking with people and would enjoy it if you paid attention to her.
Throughout the years, she has gained experience, confidence, the stamina to talk a lot (as demonstrated by her MC-ing the 6 hour long HoloComi event and having sang and MC'd in Non-Stop Story for the majority of the concert), and the skill to befriend anyone she meets. She is close to her colleagues and tries to help them in any way she can, directly or indirectly, even at the cost of her own self. She shouldered the pillar of the family around the start of Hololive and has kept it up until recently where she has started relying on her own colleagues too.
Fubuki, alongside Hololive 1st GenerationNatsuiro Matsuri, has been pushing towards easing the interactions with the sibling-branch Holostars and her fellow Hololive talents. She has collaborated and interacted with the Holostars talents a number of times. Added to this, she often collaborates and messes with Holostar Talent Yukoku Roberu as of recent events, such as bringing bombs to the Robel's Bar, or turning him into a bacon during his sleep. She also has a group name with Holostar Talent Aragami Oga called FOXDEMON and has a dynamic of being the lady (Fubuki) of the Shirakami House and its maid (Oga); they often collab and do talk/question streams, or competition streams.
She is known to be a large spender on gachas in mobile games and has streamed her characters draws before. Some of the viewers get scared with the shockingly high amount of money that she puts into these games. She feels emotional sometimes when she feels impatient or desperate. Examples of this in Animal Crossing are when her Turnip Stocks crash, or when neighbors leave. She also shows her emotions openly when she goes on a 50 draw spree in her mobile games and getting nothing out of it, or her indecisive decisions in shooters leaving her vulnerable. Despite these things happening, she takes them in stride and plays it out as part of her gag.
She is known to be friends with some indie and other major company/group VTubers and has collaborated with many of them before. They all have a generally good opinion of her, and most of her colleagues sees her as an important figure as well as a good friend. The 1st generation Natsuiro Matsuri has commented in a twitcast that Fubuki is the pillar to Hololive and kept it steady. She is held highly in regards to her reputation and character, and she shoulders the responsibility and weight of people that rely on her.
Fubuki can get easily agitated when you call her a cat due to the frequency of people (newbies and fans alike) often mistaking her for a cat. The joke is either done for fun, or purely by accident and she will blurt out "Neko Janai! Kitsune Jai!(I'm not a cat! I'm a fox!)".
She is easily embarrassed by certain topics, as evident by some of her member-only streams, chatting streams, or collaboration interactions. Examples of this are Natsuiro Matsuri and Shiranui Flare teasing and poking at her among others. She has a tendency of feeling wary or anxious when she makes jokes/pranks behind someone's back or if someone isn't in the presence of her pranks, but she enjoys doing it anyways.

Fubuki once tried out playing Tetris 99 with a goal of reaching above 95th place, she lost at 98th in under 3 minutes flat and was traumatized by it shortly after, this was the cause of her turning into a Yukkuri.
Fubuki broke her first-ever no-oversleeping streak among the Hololivers, she fell asleep from food coma just a few hours before the planned Unrailed! stream went off, fellow colleagues Minato Aqua, Houshou Marine, and Nekomata Okayu held a zatsudan stream with the three of them waiting for Fubuki to wake up, messing around and talking about how people are betting they have no synergy and plays by that joke, she woke up half an hour in later and joins in the fun with the Unrailed! plan being moved 3 days later.
She has watched her mama artist (Nagishiro Mito) before even becoming a VTuber, and thus has known about her for a long time. Mito never said a pronoun to be called by so Fubuki during her debut just referred to her as her mama.

She belongs to four (by extension, five) group collabs that are named based on the theme. No-Synergy (Minato Aqua, Houshou Marine, Nekomata Okayu) which was born during the planned Unrailed! collab stream, and stuck because people thought the four characters together had no synergy. Bakatare (Shiranui Flare, Tsunomaki Watame) was born from the trio bonding together and having similar wavelengths of being dumb. FAMS (Nakiri Ayame, Ookami Mio, and Subaru) and an extension to OKFAMS (Nekomata Okayu and Inugami Korone) being the original group formation for Fubuki due to her closeness and friendship with the members of the group, and as of recent FOXDEMON (Aragami Oga) whom she has a strong rivalry but dynamic interaction with.
She's part of official sub unit Irohanihoheto AyaFubuMi composed of Nakiri Ayame, Shirakami Fubuki and Ookami Mio. On July 15th, 2023, Fubuki had a concert, Yamato Phantasia Protolive #2 together with Ayame, Mio and Sakura Miko as AyaFubuMiKo. "Aya" stands for Ayame, "Fubu" stands for Fubuki, "Mi" stands for Mio, and "Ko" stands for Miko. The concert is a traditional Japan inspired concert that recreates the atmosphere of the Hololive Alternative web manga: Yamato Phantasia.
In 2021, Fubuki started playing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond. Her intention was to play the game with a team consisting only of Shiny Pokémon (色違い in Japanese). The odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon are 1 in 4096, which means making a full team of them would require a lot of time and luck.
Before streaming the game, she reset her save until she had Shiny Chimchar for her starter Pokémon.
During her first stream, she decided to also get a Shiny Shinx, which she did capture the same week while playing off-stream.
For her third Pokémon, she decided to capture Magikarp. This, which required a lot of fishing, proved to be far more challenging:
The search for the golden Shiny Magikarp took her 27 days, 26 streams of between 2 and 7 hours, more than 10,000 fishing attempts and almost 222 hours of in-game time (including time played off-stream).[67]
The phrase she said every time a regular Magikarp appeared, "It's red~" (赤いなぁ~), became a meme on its own, with other Hololive members commenting how Fubuki always took her Switch to the studio and kept trying to catch a golden Magikarp even during their recording breaks, saying "It's red~" every time she fished a regular red Magikarp.[68][69][70]
During her streams, other Hololive members either collaborated with her doing her own hunt for rare, ShinyPokémon, or commented on her chat to cheer her on. On day 18, Kazama Iroha showed up on chat, offering her golden hair to make the Pokémon golden, or to use as a fishing line.[71] Due to this, Fubuki decided to name her future golden Magikarp "King Kazama".[72]
On day 23, one of her two Pokémon got Pokérus, a stat-enhancing "illness" that a Pokémon has a 3 in 65536 chance of acquiring after a battle.[73]
She caught the golden Shiny Magikarp on December 24.[74]. Not even two hours later, she got verified on Twitter.[54] This prompted her to tweet "Golden Magikarp and verification mark, they both came today! Santa is real after all!".[75]
Her fourth Shiny Pokémon was a Clefairy, which Mio gave to her as a gift.[76]
After capturing the Shiny Magikarp and advancing through the game, Fubuki decided to get a Shiny Gastly. She caught one on the 3rd day.[77]
Shares the same Illustrator with the following VTubers:
Kurokami is Fubuki's alter persona, appeared at some point in February of 2019. She formally made her debut in September 07th 2019. [78] She has a more aggressive and harsh nature in contrast to the shy and calm Fubuki everyone knows, often not having any tact, coming off verbally strong to people, pushes her work to other people and absolutely hates doing embarrassing things.
Kurokami collabed with Matsuri's alter persona named Natsuiro Matsuhiko in December 04th 2019[79] playing the game called Super Bunny Man.
After a collab stream with OKFAMS over at Ookami Mio's house, Fubuki stated in her stream she couldn't stream so on the next day Kurokami took over for a single stream of her playing an RPG maker game. [80]
She also recently did an independent stream, doing Missing Children and promptly being frustrated by the game throughout the stream.
Shirakami Fubuki is known to hold many forms and appearances, other than being simply "Fubuki" and "Kurokami", she has shown to pretend to be a cat once during a stream, as well as a Yukkuri-head, a shark, an eel, a fish, a pigeon and a crab (karkanos from ARK).
Many fanarts and materials of these formations exists, and most has made more than one appearance, with Yukkuri and Shark being the most often appearance thus far. Many people makes furniture and objects out of her, like how there's a Air Humidifier filled with Asacoco liquid that has a shape and appearance of Fubuki, and so forth.
These are unnoticed hashtags that either has gone underused or has very niche use when it was made.
Hololive Villain (#ホロライブヴィラン) - It used to be Kurokami's go-to tag but it was expanded for general alter-ego depictions of the girls.
Intelligent Unicorn-Senpai (#インテリジェンスユニコーン) - Unicorn's hashtag when he takes over Fubuki's twitter account to fill in for her, has not been used for a long while.
Church of Fubuki (#フブキ教) - Used for questions and the likes related to gacha.
Song Request (#すこんなうた) - She used to take song requests for her old karaokes, lately she picks off from her own list.
Music/Voice Impression (#おい聴いたぞ白上) - Has a niche usage of people imitating or making fan-videos of Fubuki's song or voices.
