Character
Siro appeared in 2017 as an early example of the virtual YouTuber format, before the term became common. Appland’s press release of June 28, 2017 introduced her as a digital-persona YouTuber who admires idols and aims to try the things real-world idols do, but in the virtual world, while also taking on newer areas such as VR and game streaming. Her first content was a dance video made with the dance site Dance Stream and a Twitter post using a meme that was trending at the time.
Her YouTube channel today describes her as a virtual YouTuber who streams daily, focuses on game commentary and aspires to be a Japanese idol. According to Pixiv Encyclopedia, she is known for a dolphin-like laugh, an interest in food (she often adds the word “cyber” to food names), and fluency in foreign languages, especially English. These are fan-compiled details, so treat them as description rather than official settings.
What the content looks like
The channel centers on game commentary and daily streams, with music and event content layered on top. Appland’s early press materials described daily challenge videos from a virtual space, and a December 2017 release said her livestreams used Appland’s VR LIVE service, in which viewers interact with 3D characters in a virtual space. Her channel page also lists subtitled playlists in Chinese, English, Korean, Russian and Spanish, which is useful for overseas viewers.
