Juufuutei Raden
Juufuutei Raden (儒烏風亭らでん) is a hololive production VTuber who has built a distinctive niche: she is a rakugo apprentice, a qualified museum curator and a member of the music-focused unit ReGLOSS, and she moves between comedy streams, original songs and projects with real museums. This profile summarizes what her official profile and other sources we opened say, as of late October 2026.

Character
hololive’s official profile calls her “a grandma’s girl who covers herself in both tradition and revolution.” She is a rakugo apprentice in the Juufuutei group, enjoys arts and culture, visits museums often and is writing her own skits. Rakugo is a traditional form of seated comic storytelling in which one performer plays every role; “apprentice” is her in-character status. According to Wikipedia, her background is closer to the real thing than a typical gimmick: it describes her as raised in Fukuoka, trained in photography and art history, and holding a curatorial certification, with a stated interest in rakugo that grew during the COVID-19 period. Those biographical details come from Wikipedia rather than the agency profile, so treat them as secondary-source material.
What the content looks like
Her channel mixes several strands. There are talk and variety streams, game streams, and the “radio exercise” and quiz-style items that appear in her official video list. There is also a steady line of art-related material: museum visits, explanations of paintings, and streams recorded around exhibitions. Her streams are in Japanese, so overseas fans mostly rely on fan translations or subtitles.
Milestones
ReGLOSS was announced on September 4, 2023, as a five-member music-artist unit under hololive DEV_IS, with a debut MV released that evening. The members are Hiodoshi Ao, Otonose Kanade, Ichijou Ririka, Juufuutei Raden and Todoroki Hajime. Raden and Todoroki Hajime made their first streams on September 10, 2023, at 20:00 and 20:30 JST, followed by a group stream at 21:00 JST. Later milestones include ReGLOSS’ first live, “Flashpoint,” on December 16, 2025, which Famitsu reported took place at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, with an archive later sold for 6,500 yen. According to Wikipedia, her channel passed one million subscribers on December 24, 2024.
Music
Her breakout came from comedy, not a conventional single. Wikipedia reports that “Maitake Dance,” a video she posted on August 6, 2024, went viral and was released digitally as her first original song on October 30, 2024, peaking at No. 26 on the Japan Digital Singles chart and winning a 2024 Internet Buzzword Award. Related mushroom-themed dance songs followed. Within ReGLOSS she also sings on the group’s repertoire; the official channel lists “Worth it,” an official music video credited to her and Todoroki Hajime, which is embedded below.
2026 activity
In 2026 her museum work became a headline feature. The Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art ran Raden audio guides from January 20 to March 15, 2026 across four programs, reported by KAI-YOU. On May 18, 2026, COVER Corporation announced “When Raden Meets Art – A Shared Art Journey” with the National Gallery in London: she chose three paintings (Turner, Van Gogh and Monet) for merchandise and 20 works for an audio guide, with pre-orders from May 20 and shipping from September 2026 in regions including Japan, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. A Tokyo pop-up store was planned for October 2026. Looking ahead, ReGLOSS’ AR live “X-ReCHORD” is set for Sunday, November 29, 2026, with doors at 17:30 and the show at 18:00 JST (09:00 UTC), streamed online for 6,500 yen (streaming ticket) or 2,500 yen (holoFocus ticket), with comments as the way to cheer from abroad.
Collaborations and related talents
Her partner on the single “Worth it” is Todoroki Hajime, and the other three ReGLOSS members are Hiodoshi Ao, Otonose Kanade and Ichijou Ririka. Outside hololive, her partners are cultural institutions rather than other VTubers: Wikipedia also lists the Hakone Venetian Glass Museum, the Suntory Museum of Art and the Tainan Art Museum.
