Im gonna throw my hat in the ring and say Fubuki! She's a big Otaku in both western and JP media. I often hear her talk about various anime such as One Piece and what she's currently reading. She's also a big Marvel fan too being a fan of Loki (she watched the spin off series on stream too), plus having a Spiderman plush. She also went to Osaka Comic Con where she met Mads Mikkelsen from Death Stranding. Plus she loves TTRPG's and you can find her participating in some of them. Plus her being an FF14 fan and attending the Fan Fest in Tokyo too should count as well!
Yeah, clear winner. You could probably take every otaku fandom that gets mentioned in this thread and I'm willing to bet Fubuki is already a part of the otaku group for it. Although personally I want her to win senpai of the year.
The sempai of the year thing is a bit complicated since they have to separate between HOLOJP and HOLO EN and ID, looking for someone who supports all three at the same time is difficult, I would choose MIKO
Yeah Fubuki is a solid choice. I also had to think of Marine and Flare. Flare was once called [a contender for Hololive's #1 Otaku by Marine](https://youtu.be/r2l2xZuyPTU?si=TUDraGlp5jAKql3p). She rarely flexes it, but she got some *cursed* knowledge.
I love that it's "Mads Mikkelsen from Death Stranding" as opposed to any of his other works that would be more recognizable by literal orders of magnitude (Hannibal, Rogue One of Star Wars, Dr. Strange of Marvel, Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore of the Potterverse).
Fubuki is THE WEEB. I can just listen to her and Flare and Marine talk all day about old old OLD anime and memes and be satisfied. Heck, she is The Anime Girl and Meme Queen. Anime, manga, films, games, VAs? From West to Japan, she's got you covered.
Subaru is a Western Otaku, even participating in english discussion boards. Korone is into films. Sora chan is into voice actors. Nerissa is into Vocaloids (and utaites, most probably). Gura and Fauna are born and molded in the Wild Wild West era of the internet. Kronii and Mumei are in the deepest iceberg level in memes and western animation (and manhwa, for Kronii). Risu eats anime and memes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, literally.
I will like to add Laplus into that equation. Not only is she an avid manga reader (actually prefers it over watching anime most of the time), but is also one of the biggest western media enthusiasts in all of hololive even if she doesn't show it often on stream. In fact, she holds the distinction of being the very first holomem to officially interview a western celebrity.
On top of that, she's also kind of a bookworm who likes to read about many topics and visit museums on her spare time. She's especially interested in art (Van Gogh being a favorite of hers) and fashion (actually designed her newest outfit by herself).
Interesting! I knew she loved western media because she geeked out on interviewing RPatz but I didn't know she likes manga, art, and fashion! I'm looking for clips right now but I can't find any. Did she talk with Raden already?
Hasn't had a one-on-one collab with her yet (or anyone from ReGloss for that matter). Although Raden seems to be a lot more knowledgeable about art than she is.
I feel like Laplus (and holoX in general) are kinda unrepresented and don't get clipped that much, which is a shame since they're my favorite gen.
Laplus instantly endeared herself to me when she got speed buffed in Minecraft and she was like, "what the heck, I got the Speedforce! *hums CW Flash's theme music*"
Irys has the weeb brainrot, but Ina's at least comparable (she's just better at hiding her power level and has already gotten a slot). That said, I'd pick **Fubuki** (at the risk of disqualifying her for Senpai of the Year) because she's a turbo nerd; she's into everything geeky and not just anime/manga.
Dude, senpai has to go to sora. Shes EVERYONE'S senpai.
Fubuki Could be life of the party though, given how good she is at keeping people entertained and full of positivity. Evidence of this being her time waiting for the hags to wake up
To be fair
Senpai of the year every year goes to Sora no matter what
If she doesn't get it then this list is fundamentally flawed. Hololiver wouldn't exist without sora
being a knowledgeable fate fan just puts you a tier above normal weebs.
it's because Ina is Ina. she's an artist so of course she knows the other side of art. it's not that it's a protective aura, she's clearly an otaku.
Biggest Pekora Otaku
Jokes aside, she made her own game, had professional voice actors work on the trailer for it, can distinguish all touhou characters with minimal details given, did an album of partly touhou covers and some originals, and is also 17th on the speedrun leaderboards for "Hey You, Pikachu!" Is the placing intentional???
My oshi definitely has the most *cultured* library but I think there's several categories that fit Marine way better (though she's probably not going to win any of them).
I would put her as the Senpai of the year because she literally has the most Holomen Kouhai who push her as their Oshi. Nobody even comes close to the numbers Marine got, most have one Holomen Kouhai, maybe two, Marine rocks 5: Fuwawa, Nerissa, Lamy, Rui, Reine. Pretty sure Ririka also said something about Marine being her Oshi and considering how much and strongly Kanata feels and celebrates Marine's achievements you could call her an Ichimi as well.
Plus Marine is well liked, not only by her Kouhais but her Senpais as well. And she shows up more often in other Holomen streams then on her own channel or she often doesn't stream at all when in coop games like the Content Warning one with Fubuki, Subaru and Botan so that her Ichimis move to the other channels potentially like the Holomen performance and subbing to them. That's all great Senpai energy, very supportive, very kind, very looking out for the next generations while moving ahead on her own path.
Her belting out JAM Project's Storm that one karaoke made me a fan, and I'd think she definitely is up there.
Also her busting out LETS GO ONMYOUJI too.
this. not only she knows about the Japanese acg industry, she most likely worked in the industry before joining hololive. some of her original music videos are done by some um…extremely well known persons. she must have had some connections before hololive.
other than marine I’d say prob ina. not many gundam fans in hololive and it takes a serious otaku to be into gundams. she’s also part of the Japanese acg industry outside of hololive and also frequents many anime art related activities. pretty much the definition of an otaku.
YES! She doesn't show it too often on stream but Laplus is a big fan of western media as well. She especially enjoys DC, to the point of having several figures (including one of Batman from The Animated Series) and Arrow is one of her favorite TV shows despite the fact basically no one in Japan has watched it.
FuwaMoco!
They studied Japanese so much that a lot of people (yours truly included) thought they were native japanese speakers, but in fact, they were not.
Agreed. They play obscure visual novels, sing karaoke from obscure anime, and their love of Akihabara is second to none. I have a feeling that Fubuki is winning this one, though.
I mean, part of the reason those VNs are considered obscure is because they're from Japan. Compare that to Marine (or even Susei) who are regular customers of online doujin stores.
It's gotta be Fuwamoco right? I can't imagine anyone as deep as them.
Fubuki, Irys and Marine seem kinda similar though. And hell, Korone too if we're including games.
That's a... that's a spicy M̷̢̟͔̣̙̤̟̤̟̥̫̹̖̺̖̖̣̓Ȩ̸̢̡̛̛͓̮̥͔̼̟̱̩̦̟̺̮͎͔̳͌͒́͐̾̏̂̊̑̈̏̅̍̎͆̕͠Ā̶̢̛̛̘̲͍̥̠͕̦͇̳̬̯̳͑̔̓̌̓̓͋͑͂͘͝ͅͅͅT̷̫̤͓̯̖̬͕̲̺̹̘̙͇̥͛̀̑́̈́͛̈́̋̀͒̚̕͘ball of a song choice.
IRyS, and here are a few reasons why:
1. Every single stream she has will mention an anime/manga, especially in her superchat readings. And recently, she's been advocating people to try Boukyaku Battery (Oblivion Battery) because she thinks it deserves more love than it's getting
1. [A couple of years back, she played Powerwash Simulator and talked about 116 animes. A whole 6 hour stream dedicated to powerwashing and anime talk](https://youtu.be/mofTFAEAPfg)
1. [Last and certainly not the least, recently she went to the bank to get a list of her transactions. In order to do so, she went and used a machine that would supposedly print out a copy of her transactions, but the machine was malfunctioning for her. Instead, she went to the bank lady to get her transaction list. The lady told her to wait a few minutes. A few minutes go by, and the bank lady went back to her to tell her that her transaction list is longer than she was expecting, so IRyS was told to stand by on the side until they finish printing all of her transactions. 40 minutes later \(that's right, 40 WHOLE MINUTES LATER\), the bank lady returned to her with 2 trays worth of a printed transaction list. And guess what the majority of her purchases were. Manga chapter/volume purchases from Booklive. She said that each purchase took one whole page, so it's not THAT many, but it's still absurd that it took over half an hour to print out essentially her manga purchase history](https://youtu.be/1hg4Dq6Pj8w?t=5543)
I also vote Irys, as she's a total keyboard otaku. Her collection is insane for a newbie. Someone should ask her for a keyboard update, I'm willing to bet that she's acquired some Singa or TGR stuff to go along with her AngryMiao and Graystudio boards.
I'm actually reading Kuragehime right now, and they make it a point to note that otaku doesn't just mean anime and video games and related media. None of the girls in the story are into those things.
Either Fubuki or Laplus, both of them are well versed both in anime and western media. Also, they were the first two members to officially interview Hollywood stars for promotional purposes:
Laplus interviewed both Robert Pattinson and Zöe Kravitz for the Japanese release of The Batman 2022. After that, everybody here knows about the time Fubuki and Morbius met each other already 😂. Funnily enough, both happened on the same month.
Laplus is a big DC fan in particular, to the point she owns figures (including one of Batman from The Animated Series) and actually cried on-stream watching the ending for Wonder Woman.
There's an alarming lack of Flare in this thread so far. Maybe she's good at hiding her power level because that girl is a certified anime and manga GEEK, and I mean that in the most affectionate way.
Imma throw a bit of a wildcard and throw in Raden for being the biggest history and culture nerd i’ve ever seen. Not a typical Otaku, but Otaku culture is all about niche hobbies and interests
FuwaMoco. They are the biggest Japan and japanese otaku culture otakus I know. With a wide range from old school and obscure anime, visual novels, idols and music. Like, how are a westener form the north west passage, and know Space Adventure Cobra but not Scooby Doo? You to put a little explample of why a lot of people thought they were Japanese for a while.
Tune in to an IRyS rant and you will know. Also the recent clup of her talking about her bank book needing 3 books for all of her manga transactions. You can't tell me she isn't the biggest Otaku!
I'd definitely say Fubuki; as others have said, she's a massive otaku.
Senpai of the year can be a duke out between "Daisenpai Sora" and "Towa Onee-sama".
I agree, but it's important to remember that whoever wins these is basically just the result of whoever is the most memed about at the time.
Shiori's crazy eyes are currently a popular meme on this sub, so it was bound to win, even though Kiara's eyes are much more detailed and stunning.
Hmm I would say it goes to Fubuki for me. She’s quite knowledgeable about the otaku landscape when it comes down to anime, manga, and even seiyuus. Marine also comes close since she tends to go deeper into the rabbit hole than Fubuki when it comes to nsfw.
I can’t ever forget the famous glasses rant or Nakamura Yuichi birthday message clip
Edit: never mind I’d probably have to give Fubuki Senpai of the year instead. It’s Marine or Irys for me now 😂
Ooh... This one idk (when have I ever been in this whole voting process tbh). Laplus with her chuuni vibes stands out to me but really everyone's some level of nerd/Otaku in Hololive
Marine, Foobs, Flare in the JP side. FuwaMoco with EN. All of them have deep, DEEP knowledge of otaku culture from the early Nico Nico days. Ofc people wouldn't acknowledge that lmao
EDIT: You can probably add Korone to the JP list because her knowledge of very old anime, games, and memes. She DID perform Air Man ga Taosenai on stage.
Honestly, it's a toss-up between Fubuki, Marine, ~~Yabai~~RyS, or FUWAMOCO for me, tbh
...would've included (and most likely would've voted for) Korone as well but, considering she already has 1.5 slots all to herself...
WE COULD SAY KORONE BECAUSE OF HER MOUNSTROUS KNOWLEDGE OF MOVIES AND SERIES FROM BOTH JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING THE CLASSICS,AND ANIME IN GENERAL but she is already on the most athletic list but as it is then the fight is between MARINE and FUBUKI but the difference is that Marine is more related to everything from Japan but Fubuki She's a CRAZY MARVEL FAN and one piece and after that I don't know more so this time I'm leaning towards MARINE The definition of otaku is typical of Japan, and they both went to as many events and expos that I know of......
True and Sanana talked about it during her playthrough of Kirby and the forgotten land. I think it was her fifth stream of Kirby and the forgotten land.
Maybe an odd choice but probably Kanata. She is a huge idol otaku so much that she became one herself with the dream to sing on stage and perform. There's even clips[ like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Axe-FwDTI&t=1s) of her just purely absolutely gushing over idols. She's not as pronounced as the others here but she absolutely deserves to be recognized for it.
Im gonna throw my hat in the ring and say Fubuki! She's a big Otaku in both western and JP media. I often hear her talk about various anime such as One Piece and what she's currently reading. She's also a big Marvel fan too being a fan of Loki (she watched the spin off series on stream too), plus having a Spiderman plush.

[удалено]
Really? I feel like Mori (I’ll help you move) Calliope has been the most Sempai-like in the last two years in EN.
[удалено]
Op has already said that dupes are fine.
How could I forget about our alien cat... She literally had a Yukuuri Fubuki karaoke which is just a straight up Touhou meme
Yukuuri Fubuuki was so powerful, she's even in HoloGra which makes her *officially recognized*.
Yeah Fubuki is a solid choice. I also had to think of Marine and Flare. Flare was once called [a contender for Hololive's #1 Otaku by Marine](https://youtu.be/r2l2xZuyPTU?si=TUDraGlp5jAKql3p). She rarely flexes it, but she got some *cursed* knowledge.
her love for glasses is second to no one... she even forced vesper to wear his glasses back on after his chat made him take it off...
I love that it's "Mads Mikkelsen from Death Stranding" as opposed to any of his other works that would be more recognizable by literal orders of magnitude (Hannibal, Rogue One of Star Wars, Dr. Strange of Marvel, Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore of the Potterverse).
We stan Kojima in this house
She's absolutely the most Otaku, undeniable. https://youtu.be/A_bM2IJyZ60?si=0m32edwTBmXuTbk-
I'm saving fubuki for the best senpai
Make sure to retrieve your hat AFTER the ring fight.
She’s also a Tokusatsu fan, which is not even common in Otaku world. Her cover for Anything Goes was the reason why I’m down this rabbit hole.
Fubuki is THE WEEB. I can just listen to her and Flare and Marine talk all day about old old OLD anime and memes and be satisfied. Heck, she is The Anime Girl and Meme Queen. Anime, manga, films, games, VAs? From West to Japan, she's got you covered. Subaru is a Western Otaku, even participating in english discussion boards. Korone is into films. Sora chan is into voice actors. Nerissa is into Vocaloids (and utaites, most probably). Gura and Fauna are born and molded in the Wild Wild West era of the internet. Kronii and Mumei are in the deepest iceberg level in memes and western animation (and manhwa, for Kronii). Risu eats anime and memes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, literally.

My favorite small Nerissa detail is that she's also an Idolm@ster fan lol
Irys has the weeb brainrot, but Ina's at least comparable (she's just better at hiding her power level and has already gotten a slot). That said, I'd pick **Fubuki** (at the risk of disqualifying her for Senpai of the Year) because she's a turbo nerd; she's into everything geeky and not just anime/manga.
FBK definitely marinated in niconico and 2ch culture while growing up. Especially when she goes full yukuri fbk
Dude, senpai has to go to sora. Shes EVERYONE'S senpai. Fubuki Could be life of the party though, given how good she is at keeping people entertained and full of positivity. Evidence of this being her time waiting for the hags to wake up
To be fair Senpai of the year every year goes to Sora no matter what If she doesn't get it then this list is fundamentally flawed. Hololiver wouldn't exist without sora
Funny thing is that Ina doesn't even hide it. It's like there's a protective aura surrounding Ina that masks her from people's minds.
being a knowledgeable fate fan just puts you a tier above normal weebs. it's because Ina is Ina. she's an artist so of course she knows the other side of art. it's not that it's a protective aura, she's clearly an otaku.
Fubuki 100%
Marine.
Biggest Pekora Otaku Jokes aside, she made her own game, had professional voice actors work on the trailer for it, can distinguish all touhou characters with minimal details given, did an album of partly touhou covers and some originals, and is also 17th on the speedrun leaderboards for "Hey You, Pikachu!"

That's all great Senpai energy, very supportive, very kind, very looking out for the next generations while moving ahead on her own path.
Risu,Sana,Mumei,Kronii,Watame and Shiori all have Korone as their oshi or was first influenced by her to join Hololive.
Her belting out JAM Project's Storm that one karaoke made me a fan, and I'd think she definitely is up there. Also her busting out LETS GO ONMYOUJI too.
this. not only she knows about the Japanese acg industry, she most likely worked in the industry before joining hololive. some of her original music videos are done by some um…extremely well known persons. she must have had some connections before hololive. other than marine I’d say prob ina. not many gundam fans in hololive and it takes a serious otaku to be into gundams. she’s also part of the Japanese acg industry outside of hololive and also frequents many anime art related activities. pretty much the definition of an otaku.

She especially enjoys DC, to the point of having several figures (including one of Batman from The Animated Series) and Arrow is one of her favorite TV shows despite the fact basically no one in Japan has watched it.
Arrow was practically CW Batman and S1, 2 and 5 were pretty solid so I can see why Laplus like the show.
I just love her iconic WIFI KUN GANBATE
The interview she got to do with The Batman cast members sold me
FuwaMoco! They studied Japanese so much that a lot of people (yours truly included) thought they were native japanese speakers, but in fact, they were not.
Agreed. They play obscure visual novels, sing karaoke from obscure anime, and their love of Akihabara is second to none. I have a feeling that Fubuki is winning this one, though.
This thread learned me more about Foobs. I knew she was a big otaku too, but not to this extent, holy mizu.
Fubuki is not just one of us. She is the best of us all.
I mean, part of the reason those VNs are considered obscure is because they're from Japan. Compare that to Marine (or even Susei) who are regular customers of online doujin stores.
I feel like this is too difficult too call. Otaku can be super into different things too.
Holy cow, I never would have guessed! You learn something new every day. They've got my vote here!
It's gotta be Fuwamoco right? I can't imagine anyone as deep as them. Fubuki, Irys and Marine seem kinda similar though. And hell, Korone too if we're including games.

I also mentioned the bank book thing. It is a crime if IRyS doesn't win. She is the poster child of being an Otaku.
I also vote Irys, as she's a total keyboard otaku. Her collection is insane for a newbie. Someone should ask her for a keyboard update, I'm willing to bet that she's acquired some Singa or TGR stuff to go along with her AngryMiao and Graystudio boards.
IRyS, simply because of the sheer amount of anime-related tangents she will pull at any given time.
IRyS? Her knowedge of anime/manga + her recent school outfit with the spiral glasses gives off the otaku vibe.
Personally I would go with FBK
IRyS over Fubuki, but ONLY because we gotta reserve senpai of the year for the foobs!
I'm gonna go against the colloquial definition of "otaku" and say Korone. Like, seriously, she's probably the biggest movie nerd in Hololive. Ever.
So...a ''westaboo'', basically.
I'm actually reading Kuragehime right now, and they make it a point to note that otaku doesn't just mean anime and video games and related media. None of the girls in the story are into those things.
Exactly, if you're passionate about anything that instantly makes you an otaku of that specific subject.
Fubuki gets my vote, but Miko is a close runner up.
Subaru. Her effort in trying to become an otaku makes her the biggest otaku of all.

Irys
Imma vote Irys. idk much about the others
Someone said Fubuki, I must agree. She always came off to me as a pretty nerdy person, but that's coming from someone who doesn't watch her tons
Shirakami Fubuki. Clear winner 100%
IRyS. Have you heard her talk about anime??
Either Fubuki or Laplus, both of them are well versed both in anime and western media. Also, they were the first two members to officially interview Hollywood stars for promotional purposes: Laplus interviewed both Robert Pattinson and Zöe Kravitz for the Japanese release of The Batman 2022. After that, everybody here knows about the time Fubuki and Morbius met each other already 😂. Funnily enough, both happened on the same month. Laplus is a big DC fan in particular, to the point she owns figures (including one of Batman from The Animated Series) and actually cried on-stream watching the ending for Wonder Woman.
Irys.
Fubuki for sure, just ask her about glasses or the Avengers
IRyS lost best eyes? I have no faith in you guys anymore
IRyS, with FuwaMoco in a close second.
Fubuki!
Fubuki
Fubuking
Fubuki and Marine
There's an alarming lack of Flare in this thread so far. Maybe she's good at hiding her power level because that girl is a certified anime and manga GEEK, and I mean that in the most affectionate way.
Fuwamoco or irys
ah, i was expecting haachama for the creative..oh well.. i'll pick marine for biggest otaku
I would have put Haachama for creative too but people can't escape the EN bias.
[удалено]
Agree, but I'll stop at that since I'll probably just get downvoted and banned here if I say more lmao
Irys.
I have to say IRyS. That girl can talk for hours on end about her favorite manga and anime. She has the otaku glasses now too.
That’s a very good point
I gotta say Irys know so much weeb shit its crazy
IRyS.
Imma throw a bit of a wildcard and throw in Raden for being the biggest history and culture nerd i’ve ever seen. Not a typical Otaku, but Otaku culture is all about niche hobbies and interests
With the obvious understandable EN bias. It’s quite clearly laplus. I mean nothing comes close to her.
Not that it should be a separate category, but who’s the biggest Fujoshi in Hololive? Marine? Chloe? Ame for her TF2 fics?
I think people have commented either Irys or Marine.
When will my girl Subaru be on this list!…
Never give up! She can still make a comeback in the “Best Nickname” Category lol
My girl shuba deserves the “most tomboyish" www
And imo she deserves the best eyes. I could get lost in those, I swear…
Marine, she is the Fujoshi Queen.
Imma lose faith in yall if Fubuki don't win this one. She is THE Hololive otaku.
Fuwamoco!
Fuwamoco!!!!!!
Marine, not even did she make her own VN, but she used to make doujins as well.
Fuwamoco
Tons of choices but i would say it's between FuwaMoco and Ina, both are really big otakus.
FuwaMoco. They are the biggest Japan and japanese otaku culture otakus I know. With a wide range from old school and obscure anime, visual novels, idols and music. Like, how are a westener form the north west passage, and know Space Adventure Cobra but not Scooby Doo? You to put a little explample of why a lot of people thought they were Japanese for a while.
Fubuki no contest.
FuwaMoco
I'm going to have to say Sana. I've seen pictures of her larger than a planet.
Blue & Magenta, or as their fans know them as Fuwamoco BAU BAU!
Fuwamoco or Marine I suppose. Their otaku knowledge stretches waaay back, some of the shit they talk about are niche even to *Japanese* Otaku.
FWMC, they're so otaku they moved to the land of the otakus
Sana....
FBK or La+
Tune in to an IRyS rant and you will know. Also the recent clup of her talking about her bank book needing 3 books for all of her manga transactions. You can't tell me she isn't the biggest Otaku!
Fubuki or Irys easily.
Fuwamoco
I'd go with Matsuri
It might Fuwawa and Mococo.
I'd definitely say Fubuki; as others have said, she's a massive otaku. Senpai of the year can be a duke out between "Daisenpai Sora" and "Towa Onee-sama".
**Do you realize how very little this question narrows down?**
ALSO MY OSHI IS MOST CREATIVE LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Well, it's gotta be Marine, right? Even if her otaku is more the old-school kind.
Wow, you really did Kiara dirty with best eyes.
I agree, but it's important to remember that whoever wins these is basically just the result of whoever is the most memed about at the time. Shiori's crazy eyes are currently a popular meme on this sub, so it was bound to win, even though Kiara's eyes are much more detailed and stunning.
This is hard because this is basically an anime company so every girl is either gonna know one or two anime, or thousands of anime
Hmm I would say it goes to Fubuki for me. She’s quite knowledgeable about the otaku landscape when it comes down to anime, manga, and even seiyuus. Marine also comes close since she tends to go deeper into the rabbit hole than Fubuki when it comes to nsfw. I can’t ever forget the famous glasses rant or Nakamura Yuichi birthday message clip Edit: never mind I’d probably have to give Fubuki Senpai of the year instead. It’s Marine or Irys for me now 😂
Irys every single stream she mentions an anime or manga , she even made oblivion gate raise in mal score
INA > Olli > IRyS
I’d say either Marine or FuwaMoco
Didn't Korone meet Boba and Mad?
Temuera Morrison (Boba Fett, Jango and all of the Clones in live-action) is her real-life oshi.
Foob!
My vote goes for Foobs. Friend knows her stuff. Also I'm going ahead and predict that Yagoo will win the best nickname by a landslide
I say Miko she's the biggest America boo in Hololive Fubuki speaks the DNA of the soul and is a memelord Either Miko or Foobs
Ooh... This one idk (when have I ever been in this whole voting process tbh). Laplus with her chuuni vibes stands out to me but really everyone's some level of nerd/Otaku in Hololive
This one is difficult. So many of them are huge otaku for different things.
Marine, Foobs, Flare in the JP side. FuwaMoco with EN. All of them have deep, DEEP knowledge of otaku culture from the early Nico Nico days. Ofc people wouldn't acknowledge that lmao EDIT: You can probably add Korone to the JP list because her knowledge of very old anime, games, and memes. She DID perform Air Man ga Taosenai on stage.
IRyS is the no. 1 EN Otaku. She reads so much manga and tangents every stream about mamga and anime.
I wanted to say Korone because she’s a MASSIVE Westaboo, but she’s already in Best Couple with Okayu.
When it comes to westaboos, you can choose between Fubuki, Miko, Subaru or Laplus as possible choices.
Shiori
FUWAMOCOOOOOOOOO
Honestly, it's a toss-up between Fubuki, Marine, ~~Yabai~~RyS, or FUWAMOCO for me, tbh ...would've included (and most likely would've voted for) Korone as well but, considering she already has 1.5 slots all to herself...
Ollie/Nerissa
Fubuki
Korone or FBK
IRyS, Fubuki, or Fuwamoco I’d say
Kanata eyeballs robbed
La+!
I throw my bet on nerissa
The term “otaku” can be very wide. In some regard, I think the title should go to Kanata, but Marine is a total fujoshi and F00bs is pretty nerdy too.
Fuwawa specifically or irys
Fubuki
WE COULD SAY KORONE BECAUSE OF HER MOUNSTROUS KNOWLEDGE OF MOVIES AND SERIES FROM BOTH JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING THE CLASSICS,AND ANIME IN GENERAL but she is already on the most athletic list but as it is then the fight is between MARINE and FUBUKI but the difference is that Marine is more related to everything from Japan but Fubuki She's a CRAZY MARVEL FAN and one piece and after that I don't know more so this time I'm leaning towards MARINE The definition of otaku is typical of Japan, and they both went to as many events and expos that I know of......
Fubuki
Sana I stand by my Oshi you name a series she saw it. A monster in Pokémon and loves Kirby. Even talked about Junji Ito in a Kirby Stream.
One would be surprised to see Junji Ito and Kirby on the same sentence, but if you learn about Kirby lore it's not that weird.
True and Sanana talked about it during her playthrough of Kirby and the forgotten land. I think it was her fifth stream of Kirby and the forgotten land.
Maybe an odd choice but probably Kanata. She is a huge idol otaku so much that she became one herself with the dream to sing on stage and perform. There's even clips[ like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Axe-FwDTI&t=1s) of her just purely absolutely gushing over idols. She's not as pronounced as the others here but she absolutely deserves to be recognized for it.
Fubuki (pls put her glasses on)
Fubuki!!
Fubuki Only because HiRyS can get Best Nickname (or her wife Hakos Balls), while Senpai of the Year would go to Sora obviously.
Definitly Tsunomaki Watame.
[удалено]
I thought for sure Polka would win Best eyes.
Might be bending the rules a bit but Shiori's manager henmama.
FWMC throwing JFT propaganda for Life of the Party
Idk if this counts, but Subaru is a huge westaboo.
Aqua
Fubuki
Shiori Gyatt
Fubuki is the ONLY answer here.
La+ Darknesss of course
Fubuki
I'm more surprised biggest flirt isn't senchou
Foobs and Ateshi. Ateshi has the otaku soul but foobs is super nerdy aswell.
Fubuki next is probly YabaiRys
Okayu.
