Conceived as an idea by Kiara in the same vein as UMISEA, the official grouping of ocean-themed virtual YouTubers within hololive, HOLOTORI is meant to bring together all avian-themed virtual YouTubers in hololive. True to the intended spirit, all of the members Kiara brought together all share bird attributes as part of their lore. Namely; a phoenix/chicken, duck, peafowl, owl, and a hawk.
It was formalized as an official unit for hololive Summer 2023, releasing a group single a week before the event.
Although Subaru (the "duck" representative) is not related to a bird in any way according to her original lore (being supposed to be a sports club manager), Subaru's lore was retconned to some degree to identify her as a duck due to a popular joke around her ASMR voice that she later embraced.
Use this tag when:
The image/commentary mentions the name "holoTori" or "holoBirds", and/or
