Korone Inugami

Inugami Korone is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting as part of the group "hololive Gamers" alongside Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio and Nekomata Okayu. She has medium-length light brown hair with braided pigtails and dog ears, and she has brown eyes with a light yellow outer jacket with bows on the sleeves. Korone has a sweet and goofy personality comparable to that of an actual dog. She often kisses other hololive members for no reason, and has a high-pitched laugh that resembles the cry of a screeching seagull. Like most dogs, Korone is fiercely loyal, specifically to Nekomata Okayu with whom she forms a pair known as "OkaKoro." In fact, the two are so close that Okayu didn't mind Korone grabbing and massaging her breasts during their sleepover after Korone had a exhaustive day of dance practice and concert work, which can be seen in a more maternal light. They also often casually kiss each other on the lips. Korone has a fondness for retro games, especially those that are more niche (or even poorly-made). She gets a lot of amusement from the strangeness in these games, often laughing at how absurd they can be. While her activities usually look playful and sugary, Korone can also be nonchalantly terrifying at times; for example, she accidentally revealed that she had searched for torture/execution methods in her mobile browser history, laughed joyfully while using the chainsaw in Doom, and was completely unfazed by a scene in Heavy Rain where the protagonist (under Korone's control) was forced to cut off his own finger. Many holoGirls, A-chan included, have gone out of their way to say Korone is flat out crazy. Unlike the axe-crazed Suisei, Korone has a childish style of psychopathy that suggests that she does not appreciate the severity of the physical pain she inflicts on others. Korone is a fan of splatter-house styled horror, referencing movies like Human Centipede and Saw as her preferences, while voicing traditional ghost stories as her least preferred genre. This was further cemented in her two playthroughs of "Tsugu no Hi" games with her screaming at everything on screen, including parts where nothing scary was actually happening. This was even more ironic when she played Evil God Korone, the "Tsugu no Hi" spin-off based on her. Her habit of being easily startled during horror games carries into other games. For example, during her INFLICTION playthrough where she was playing with bathroom soap, she got startled after she accidentally brought up an inspection menu. She has also gone on the record to abuse her fans, represented by Listener-kun, usually seen at the end of her streams where she forgets to give her fans' fingers back until they rot, or even having comical backdoor tragedies happen like giving back Listener-kun's finger only to swipe her fans money to gamble with in Dragon Quest, and is quick to jump on her viewers like an oppressively jealous housewife when she sees traces of other women around them. The fact that she is both cute and scary at the same time has only increased her appeal amongst her fanbase. In a more dry and serious light, however, Korone has shared confidence issues during her Roomania 203 playthrough due to measuring her worth to other's actions causing her to criticize herself unnecessarily. Though her time in hololive seems to be helping in this aspect. Korone originally greeted viewers with "Yubi! Yubi!," which originated from her desire to have her own unique greeting. During her first stream with the other members of hololive Gamers, Korone noticed that she was the only one out of the group that didn't have her own greeting. She joked about possibly greeting her viewers by asking for their fingers, after which they would reply "Yubi! Yubi!" in return, "Yubi" being the Japanese word for finger. While she's well known for the "yubi yubi" greeting, she's gradually stopped using it in favor of starting the streams without any specific set greeting. During collaborations, she usually introduces herself by name and sometimes with her hololive Gamers affiliation, but often says unexpected things or quickly speeds through her intro in a way that's hard for people to understand. This often confuses other hololive members that collaborate with her. While she doesn't use her regular greeting often, she has fun with playing with the other members' greetings and catchphrases. For example, when she did a Splatoon collaboration with holoX member Kazama Iroha, who says "de gozaru" at the end of her sentences, she went along with Iroha's archaic samurai speak. This included referring to viewers with the respectful honorific "-dono". Her battle cry when playing games is "Orayo!", a trait that has remained consistent over the years.
