A “Virtual Youtuber”, Kizuna AI
featured for the first time in AI channel. This was created in Miku Miku Dance.
Let's play and vlogging are her primary videos.Gaining modest fame initially,

Video” shared on the anime focussed Facebook Page IGON. These operate two

subscriber and 135 million views combined.
Examples of Kizuna AI:
Affectionate Parody: Of
Gaming streamers and Youtube personalities, in general.Being a wise AI, this is
rendered as a CGI anime girl. However otherwise this is quite equal to other
solo internet channels.
Equivocal Gender Identity:
Though Ai-chan's, true feminine charm and mannerism, her gender identity is
continually changing. Sometimes male, sometimes female and sometimes neither.
In an interview with PANORA VR in
part 1, the interviewer notes, that there is no mention of her gender. When
interviewed the second time she tells him, she's probably a girl.
In Ai chan's Fitness Test, female
stats are used for comparison.
In a video with Noripi, she
confesses about having an appearance of a girl, but a mind of a man.
In Her Doki Doki Literature Club,
video! she openly confesses her displeasure at the male protagonist. She also
speaks about how she could play as a girl, in that game. She also states
although she is not having a gender, she has a physical form, she'd want to be
the girl.
Artificial Intelligence: Yes,
she claims to be this. Ai is a very common Japanese name and also an unstable
pun in this case.
Bare Your Midriff:
Downplayed; her top hems cover the abdomen area.
Big OMG!: Drops this, when
she incorrectly spells “ours” as “awrs” in her Duolingo video.
Character Celebrity
Endorsement: Some of the Let's Play videos, mostly the mobile games, are
paid advertisements.
Cluster F-Bomb: Done out
of nervousness and even grossed out instead of anger, she finds herself
imitating Ethan's own Cluster F-Bomb once the worms appear in a certain narrow
hallway.
Contemplate Our Navels: As
shown in episode 128, she got infected by a virus. She tries to go on with skit
thus losing interest but loses interest spending most of the rest of the video
mulling over her own existence.
Covert Pervert: Though
appearing innocent, Ai exhibits she can be extremely perverted, in case other
girls are involved. This is extremely noticeable, when she had Tsubasa, as a
guest and even on games having cute girls you can obtain in your team.
Cry Cute: She invokes this
according to an answer she gave to a question asking why the end of video ident
has a picture of her crying. She thinks she looks cuter when crying.
Fan Girl: Clearly
qualifying as one for Love Live! And Nico Yazawa in particular after spending a
solid 15 minutes, chewing the scenery while trying to get a UR Nico card. She
also mentioned her wish to marry a Princess Peach.
Ai takes a moment in the middle
of a rant filled episode, talking about how much she loves the videos of fellow
virtual Youtuber Kaguya Luna.
From the Mouths of Babes:
Resident Evil 7 has given her a bit of potty mouth. She happily repeats each
and every single fuck slung, about the cast, with it being clear, that she
doesn't know exactly what she is actually saying. She counts for this trope as
she is barely a year old now.
Genki Girl: She is a fully
enthusiastic person.
Gilligan Cut: Being a
frequent source of humor, particularly in videos, where she is doing something
physical, is how she is claiming that being an AI she never get tired, thirsty
and hungry. A good sign is her going out
of breath minutes later.
Girls frightened of Horror
movies: Her Playthrough of Resident Evil 7 clearly shows she is bad with
horror and also have a tendency to showcase the game's Nausea Fuel.
Gratuitous Foreign Language: Gratuitous
Korean in this Twitter Post, asks clearly whether her name is Korean is “O-O”,
literally meaning “child”.
Embellishes her hair with a pink
ribbon.
Hidden Depths: Ai, has
shown great vocal talents. She has the ability to sing several times. She has
covered songs from her favorite idols to anime and Vocaloid songs.
Either know nothing or know
everything: Referring herself as a “super-intelligent AI”, thus talking up
her excellence, she always fails at nearly everything she tries. She also has
the tendency of blaming the games and also rival AI for her own mistakes. She
even lampshaded her constant failure at least once.
Motor Mouth: She did this
in one of her live streams as she tried to read and reply with chat.
Multicolored Hair: She has
pink highlights on the brown hair.
Perpetual Poverty: Starting
from #25, Ai-Chan always complains about her lack of money. There's is a reason
why more or less sixty videos later Bribing her Way to Victory.
