"Vegetables," "Fried Chicken," "Bone-in Meat": Nijisanji's New Livers Spark Online Frenzy with Unusual Monikers
A new wave of virtual streamers (Livers) from the VTuber group "Nijisanji" has debuted, and their unconventional naming has taken social media by storm. The new talents are named "Oyasai" (Vegetables), "Agedori" (Fried Chicken), and "Honetsukiniku" (Bone-in Meat) – unique monikers that, at first glance, appear to be simply a list of food items. These striking names have become a huge topic of conversation, especially among fans.
On social media, expressions of surprise and laughter have flooded in, with comments like "Oyasai, Agedori, Honetsukiniku are here, what's going on?!" and "Why do Nijisanji's guys always have endless material for jokes, lol Honetsukiniku www." While some users expressed confusion, asking "Fried chicken and bone-in meat... what exactly is happening?", others were quick to declare their favorites, with enthusiastic fans proclaiming, "The new members are too good... Honetsukiniku-san is especially 'hao'" and "I like Honetsukiniku-kun. I'll stan him."
"Honetsukiniku," in particular, has garnered numerous comments praising his visual appeal, such as "His visuals got me!" and "I love Honetsukiniku's visuals," indicating that he has already captured the hearts of many fans. Furthermore, his profile reveals him to be a versatile "handyman" capable of gaming, composing music, and cooking, leading to a surge of fans charmed by this unexpected breadth of talent.
It is speculated that these unique names are temporary, possibly due to social media platform specifications. Some comments find humor in this situation, stating, "They couldn't change their names and are stuck as Oyasai, Agedori, Honetsukiniku, that's ridiculously funny. This is the best debut ever!" Information is also circulating that their official Liver names are Kuri Eita for Honetsukiniku, Tsukahara Daichi for Agedori, and Rayon for Oyasai, with the contrast between the temporary and official names further amplifying the attention.
Amidst humorous comments like "I'm laughing endlessly at Oyasai, Agedori, and Honetsukiniku" and "Protein overdose!", expectations for their future activities are steadily rising. As new faces of Nijisanji, all eyes are on how they will express their individuality and what legends they will build in the future.
The Context
Nijisanji is one of Japan's largest and most prominent VTuber agencies, managing a vast roster of virtual talents. VTubers (Virtual YouTubers) are online entertainers who use digital avatars to stream content, interact with fans, and perform. Nijisanji refers to its VTubers as "Livers" (a portmanteau of "live streamer"). Typically, newly debuting VTubers have unique, often elaborate and character-specific names. The temporary use of common food items like "Vegetables," "Fried Chicken," and "Bone-in Meat" as debut names is highly unusual and was likely a placeholder or a playful pre-release strategy, possibly due to initial social media account limitations or to generate buzz. This humorous and unexpected naming convention, combined with the later reveal of their more conventional official names, has created a significant buzz among Japanese fans, highlighting the playful nature and community engagement typical of the VTuber sphere.
