Shirakami Fubuki

Streaming career

Shirakami usually streams every day.^[7] In her live streams, she mostly plays games; while many of them are tactical role-playing games, she also plays games from other genres Ace Combat 7, Dead by Daylight, Forbidden Siren 2, Fortnite, Mario Kart 8, Minecraft, and Splatoon 2.^[7] Her game streams include real-time attack speedrunning Minecraft or ending Mario Kart 8 if she places below 6th place.^[7] In December 2018, Shirakami became leader of the newly-formed unit Hololive Gamers.^[8]

Hitoshi Sugiyama of Real Sound describes Shirakami as having an "high-caliber all-rounder" image, where her appeal comes not just from her YouTube streams but also her outside activities in places like Twitter.^[9] Keirō of MoguraVR notes that despite her "enjoyment-first" attitude, her trademark style is a competitive "play-to-win" attitude where she "celebrates wildly when she wins and expresses genuine frustration when she loses".^[7] Shirakami is a fan of Fate/Grand Order, often bringing it up in her streams.^[7]

In addition to games, Shirakami does streams related to casual chatting, drawing, karaoke, ASMR, and radio programming.^[9][7] She once set up a hours-long stream called Baba-domo no Neoki o Mimamoru RTA Jikkyō (ババ共の寝起きを見守るRTA実況 lit. "An RTA Commentary: Watching Over the Old Hags as They Wake Up"), after Houshou Marine and Murasaki Shion overslept and could not arrive for their respective streams.^[10]

One recurring character in Shirakami's streams, Kurokami Fubuki, is "an acquaintance of Shirakami Fubuki—or rather, something like two souls sharing one body". The character held her first solo live stream in September 2019, and in November 2019 unveiled her 3D model at Congratulations!! Fubuki Birthday Party 2019. Keirō called her "a charming fox-girl character", citing "her beautiful black hair, cool low-pitched voice, and refreshingly blunt manner of speaking".^[3]

Music career

Shirakami's karaoke streams usually feature anime songs and Vocaloid songs,^[7] and she often performs J-pop, rock, video game music, and foreign music.^[9] In 2019, she collaborated with American YouTuber The8BitDrummer for a "Drumming Challenge" showdown after the latter learned about her Scatman John impressions; this encouraged the engagement with other Hololive VTubers, which "helped introduce the group's unique charm to an international audience".^[10]

Shirakami has released several singles, many of which have appeared on the Billboard Japan Download Songs chart.^[11] In January 2025, Shirakami released her first album FBKINGDOM: Blessing.^[12][13] She ranked at #58 on Billboard Japan's Artist 100 chart on 22 January 2025.^[11] In February 2025, she held her first solo live concert, FBKIngdom: Anthem, at Pia Arena MM.^[14]
