Introducing Shishiro Botan

Meet Shishiro Botan: The Laid-Back VTuber with a Roaring Spirit 🌟

Hololive Production

Shishiro Botan (獅白ぼたん) is a renowned female Japanese Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive. She first graced our screens as part of the fifth generation of VTubers alongside Yukihana Lamy, Momosuzu Nene, Mano Aloe, and Omaru Polka.

A Unique Personality Among VTubers 🧡

Contrary to her sporty appearance, she's a white lion who prefers lazing around. 🦁 Despite her typically hands-off attitude, once she has made up her mind she will always follow through to the end. Her favorite phrase is "Wealth isn't measured with money." Born in a rough neighborhood, she's a bit of a gaming addict. She's the type to set aside powerful heals even at the end game.

Personality:

Before debut, many of her fans believed she would have a deep voice; instead, she is fairly high pitched, and fans describe her as "Miko without a lisp." Contrary to her background profile of being lazy and carefree, Botan has a strong sense of responsibility and prefers a structured work environment. Her stream patterns tend to reflect this, usually built on a weekly schedule posted on her off days. Botan's cool, mature appearance belies a cheerful and easygoing nature.

She appears as very laid back during streams, even through intense gameplay and abrupt chaos. Maintaining an uplifting, fun stream experience is very important to Botan, and she will even refrain from playing some games if she is concerned it could result in a poor experience for the fans. She even takes the time to enable English subtitles for her foreign viewers. While around the other members of 5th generation, she is considered the "father" of the group, watching over and helping the others as the most experienced gamer.

Despite her earnest and motivated nature, Botan has admitted to enjoying being the silly member of a group, and has shown a propensity to play around much more when in the presence of her seniors. She has an inclination for teasing those close to her, as can be seen in many interactions with her peers in the 5th generation. She is very free-spirited, and her laughs are a characteristic prized by her fans. When playing games, rather than getting frustrated when struggling, she’ll often resort to joking Japanese, such as "tachukete," or making her speech overtly feminine and polite.

Botan's earnest nature also shows in her perceptiveness towards others' feelings. She is aware of her skill in video games as well as her low position and comparably short length of time as a member of hololive. She frequently takes these into consideration when interacting with other hololive members. This can result in her hesitating to directly offer help to her seniors or directly proposing plans for collaboration streams. Despite this, she still usually takes steps towards providing help, even strategically getting other members to ask her for help.

Botan cares deeply for her fellow fifth gen hololive members, and sometimes acts as a leader for the group. She also has a bit of a mischievous streak—examples include dragging her friends into playing horror games and attempts to eat Tsunomaki Watame. Botan laughs often, even—maybe especially—when she encounters a challenge.
