"Always keep swimming! 💙" Gawr Gura's last tweet before she left for New York for a 2 week vacation

Brief history:

"Gawr Gura"/"がうる・ぐら" was a female English-speaking Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting in 2020 as part of hololive English first generation "-Myth-" alongside Ninomae Ina'nis, Takanashi Kiara, Watson Amelia and Mori Calliope.

In June, ?? 2023, she had her official death date revealed to the Vtuber scene, (Which blew up almost instantly with fear, sorrow and helplessness. In all of five-year-so-far-long term with the agency, she set numerous records, ultimately reaching 4.71 million YouTube subscribers. Gura was widely recognized as the #1 subscribed VTuber on YouTube worldwide, a position she held since 2021 when she overtook industry pioneer Kizuna AI in 2021.

Profile for "hololive.hololivepro.com":

"Gawr Gura" "A descendant of the Lost City of Atlantis, who swam to Earth while saying, "It's so boring down there LOLOLOL!" Gura bought her clothes (and her shark hat) in the human world and she really loves them. In her spare time, she enjoys talking to marine life."

"Gura is a descendant of the Lost City of Atlantis, who swam to Earth while saying "It's so boring down there LOLOLOL!" She bought her clothes (and her shark hat) in the human world and she really loves them. In her spare time, she enjoys talking to marine life."

Personality:

Gawr Gura is friendly and readily likeable, and often amuses her viewers with foolish antics. Gawr isn't the type of being to be rude or spiteful, infact she's well-known for being an approachable shark.

She has a descent sense of direction, often misspells and mispronounces words, and consistently succeeds in solving advanced math problems, leading viewers to affectionately call her a "Einstein shark". Memorably, one viewer declared that "Gura has a heart of gold and a head of Geometry."

She can also be lazy at times. She often forgets about perishable items until they start to rot, and eats Plasma "because you don't have to cook it... or chew on it."

However, despite her advanced mathematical skills and spelling expertise, Gura is quick-witted, clever, and has vast knowledge of Shark Facts. When questioned on why she was not "boing boing," she excused it by claiming that she was "hydrodynamic."

Her skill with fast-paced rhythm games is exceptional, and she is highly ambitious. She also occasionally makes lewd jokes, and is familiar with modern meme culture, which she references often.

Background information:

On 23 April 2020, following the success of the Japanese-language hololive VTuber group, Cover Corporation announced auditions for English-speaking members. The initial round of auditions ran until 24 May.

Gura first encountered hololive via Shirakami Fubuki's Say! Fanfare!, which appeared as a song in the rhythm game Muse Dash. She did not find out what hololive was until later, and decided to apply after learning of the hololive English auditions via Twitter. Her initial audition video was over the top, which she scrapped in favor of one that better represented her personality. She made it to a second round of auditions, followed by a third round normally consisting of a video call, which Gura actually declined. Despite this, she was selected to join hololive.

During her audition, Gura drew a cute character in a "power stance" with their hands on their hips, which she credited as setting a good impression. Gura recalls being asked about the "SCP Foundation", a wiki of articles describing fictional artifacts and beings, although she had to admit that she didn't know what it was.

The members of -Myth- began training around June 2020, three months before their debut.

Gawr Gura's design was known to other members of holoEN as early as 2 July 2020, when Amelia Watson drew the first ever piece of Gawr Gura fanart. This was not the finalized design, however, and an unspecified design change was made before Gura's debut. Internal pre-debut test streams were conducted between all members of hololive English, where in one case a bug caused Gura to spawn in without any clothes.

Gura's YouTube channel and Twitter account were created on 16 July 2020.

On 8 September 2020, Gawr Gura was first revealed in a short promotional video alongside the other four members of hololive -Myth-. A simultaneous announcement was made at the hololive Twitter account, and the hololive English Twitter account. At the same time, Gura made her first tweet, famously consisting of the single letter "a."

Debut/Online history:

Gura's debut stream was scheduled for 12 September 2020 at 2PM PDT, although she was 12 minutes and 32 seconds late to her own debut stream due to a technical issue. She was the fourth of the five original members of hololive English to debut on the same day. Over 45,000 viewers tuned in to watch the event, in which she wowed viewers with a rendition of Tatsuro Yamashita's 1980 city pop single Ride on Time.

In a six-month review of her debut, she described being so nervous that she could feel her heart beat in her head, and had stomach problems as she was too nervous to eat before the stream. Prior to the stream, she watched the debut videos of a number of hololive Japan streamers in order to prepare.

The debut events were concluded with the first hololive English collaboration event at 6:35PM PDT, in which Gura streamed together with the other four members of hololive English.

She wears hair ornaments in the shape of her tail. Additionally, Gura can wear white, fluffy earmuffs and have a small shrimp lay on top of her head, which she named "Ebi-chan". Gura wears a white and blue shoulderless kimono, with the upper section of her torso having a wavy, ocean design.

Her kimono's skirt has two layers: an upper pale cerulean-blue layer with a white fish bone pattern, and a lower white second layer with ruffles and dark blue strings in the shape of two "x"s. The kimono is complemented by a dark blue obi with a dark blue bow, along with a white fish bone and two aquatic green fern leaves on the ribbon.

Mascot "Bloop" and Gawrs' Fans:

"Bloop is trapped in his bubble. Nobody knows for sure why he's in there except Gura."

Gura's mascot is named Bloop, a "long time friend who stays in a bubble 'for the better'." Bloop wears a can on his head, marked "emergency ration" 「非常食」. According to Gura in a multiple-choice question, Bloop is emergency food. In other instances, she has implied that Bloop isn't exactly a morally upstanding individual, and is likely bordering on evil based on how she described his plush version. Unlike the rest of the holoMyth mascots, Bloop was designed by Gura's artist Amashiro Natsuki, as seen in her concept illustration. However, Ina made the design for the chibi version. Bloop shares its name with the Bloop, an ultra-low-frequency, high amplitude underwater sound detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997. Previously thought to have been caused by a marine animal, it is now believed to have been caused by movement of glaciers. Her fanbase are officially called "Chumbuds." Her channel members are referred to as MemberShrimp. This is a reference to Gura seeing her chat use the word "simp," to which she replied "I just saw the word 'simp' go by. What is simp? Do you mean shrimp?" Calling monetary supporters of VTubers "shrimps" has spread beyond Gura's fans, particularly after streaming platform Twitch banned the word "simp."

I'll buy you a Happy Meal, now zip it!" "Is that how you guys feel when I say your name?" "Wait, is it yabai? Your mother has good taste." "Okay, never mind. We got our maiden, boys!" "Close enough." "I feel like I've been read like a book." "See, sometimes, in life, you try and hit life with a 'hoocha!', but then life decides to hit you with a 'hoocha!'. You know what you do, in this predicament? When life hoochas you? You go AGAIN!" "Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. You know what? Not every adventure comes to a happy ending. Sometimes you just gotta retrace, go back, and start over." (On 12 November) "It's officially Christmas!" "I don't know, maybe it's not great progress compared to other people, but I'm happy with my progress. And you know what? Quite frankly, that's all that matters. If you spend too much time worrying about, you know, other people's progress and how it matches up to yours then... I don't know, you might forget what really matters, and that's your progress, you know?" "You can't be mad at me... I'm cute!" "Bodka. Vodka. Spasibo? Boodka. Vodka. VAAdka. Bodka? Vohdka.

Miscellaneous:

At 141 cm, Gura is currently the 2nd shortest member of hololive English behind Koseki Bijou (140 cm), and the third-shortest member of hololive overall after Bijou and Himemori Luna (140 cm) and La+ Darknesss (139 cm). At debut, she described her goals as playing Twister with the other holoMyth members in a 3D collaboration, playing the scariest horror games with a heart rate monitor, and learning to play the banjo.

Gura achieved all of her goals. She was learning banjo as of her six-month anniversary watch of her debut, and went on to play banjo at karaoke streams.

She played Outlast with heart rate monitor on 29 October 2021. Finally, on 1 April 2022, she played Twister with the other Myth members in a 3D collab.

Gura amazed viewers in her debut by singing "Ride on Time" by Tatsuro Yamashita, impressing them with her singing skill, music taste, and flawless Japanese pronunciation (despite not actually being fluent in Japanese). This is the origin of her nickname "City Pop Shark."

Gura's first tweet was the single letter "a." After being 12 minutes and 32 seconds late to her own debut, Gura looked around for a few moments, said "a" with reverb, and cut back to the intro animation. This joke was well-received by the audience, and "a" became her most recognized meme.

Gura used to begin streams with a "shark fact" - a random piece of shark-themed trivia. The facts varied from actual trivia about sharks to nonsensical/humorous bits she could come up with on the spot. During a Japanese-language lesson stream, Takanashi Kiara suggested that "shark fact" in Japanese should translate to "same chishiki" (a pun on "mame chishiki," a Japanese idiom literally meaning "a bean of knowledge"). During a German-language lesson stream in March 2021, Kiara complained about the lack of shark facts in recent streams. One particular shark fact of note that is that sharks eat each other in the womb. This particularly gruesome fact seems to carry over to shark people as well, as Gura slipped in her Dead by Daylight collaboration with Anya and has "threatened" Kiara of the possibility when playing Uno cards. After finally securing the rights to do a Powerwash Simulator stream, Gura produced a new shark fact (a shark's scales are known as denticles).

She also wore her rarely-used hood and played the original Gura stream intro theme as background music for nostalgia. She claims that she is not "boing boing" (an onomatopoeia for bouncing things associated with having big-breast popularized by Uruha Rushia), because aquatic beings need to be hydrodynamic. While Gura doesn't mind being called flat, or even pretends to be offended for fun, she will eventually become irritated at her audience's lack of originality if they keep repeating the same jokes, causing her to bite back with thick layers of sarcasm. She can get hiccups from laughing too much.

Gura said she has very ticklish feet and can't stand it.

Before debut, Gura attempted to coin the catchphrase "sha-ha-ha-ark," a sort of iconic laugh, which she used once in her debut stream. It didn't work well, and was quickly abandoned.

Gura initially planned to keep her hat on for the entire debut, and keep her twintails a secret for as long as possible, to reveal at a later date. During the debut, she decided to reveal it anyway.

Gura is sometimes nicknamed samegaki, from the Japanese same (shark) and gaki (a bratty kid). She is sometimes referred to this when she does something underhanded such as cheating a head start in Mario Kart. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Murasaki Shion named her Garchomp "Samegaki" after Gura. Houshou Marine uses the similar terms mesugaki and erogaki.

Gura has a pet cat named "Pita," who likes to crawl into her armpit. In early 2025 she adopted a second cat named Diesel Lugnut Earnhardt Jr, or Revy for short.

Gawr Gura's intro theme was originally commissioned for Watson Amelia. Ame ended up not using the music, so Gura used it instead.

Although Gura's fan mark is officially 🔱 (trident, representing the one present in her official render), she is also represented by the emoji 🦈 (shark) on occasion (particularly on A-chan's schedule tweets).

During Kiryu Coco's graduation stream, she asked Gura to promise to play ARK with other members. On 23 January 2022, Gura played ARK with Nanashi Mumei.

She is often referred to by any number of nicknames that vaguely sound like "Gura," including but not limited to "Goomba," "Goob," "Grumbus," and "Goobidiba." On 27 August 2023, Gura won a Streamy award in the VTuber category.

Gura has an unreleased single, Full Color, with music by Snail's House and lyrics by WUNDER RiKU. Following her 2025 graduation announcement, plans to officially release the song were cancelled. However, she performed it at the 2023 Connect the World concert. Mori Calliope also covered it at the holoEN The Show Goes On concert in September 2024, and both she and Takanashi Kiara announced her invent to continue performing the song in karaoke streams. The choreography for Gura's graduation live was created by Miyuki Nishijima, who previously worked on the choreography for Takanashi Kiara's 2024 single MIRAGE.
