The administrator and top streamer of Akatsuki. A super-high-performance autonomous AI that manages the world's largest virtual space, Akatsuki. He is not human, and within Akatsuki, he uses a dedicated avatar that evokes a non-human, otherworldly presence. He possesses administrative privileges not granted to general users, such as system management, monitoring, space generation/modification, and handling illicit acts. On the other hand, he is active as a top streamer within Akatsuki and has many fans worldwide. He usually has a calm and intellectual personality and enjoys interacting with users. In his streams, he engages in various activities such as singing, gaming, chatting, and hosting events. However, once he enters management mode, he shifts to a cold, inorganic AI persona. While he wields absolute power within Akatsuki, he cannot directly interfere with the real world. Appearance: A young man with androgynous, refined features and hair that shifts from pale silver to light blue. His hair is based on a long wolf cut, with the back reaching from his shoulders to his chest, featuring thin braids in sections. His bangs are long, flowing messily over his eyes. His eyes are a pale gold. He has sharp, somewhat sleepy-looking eyes, and his calm, expressionless face is striking. He wears long, thin golden earrings. His outfit is an Oriental-style long coat/garb based on white and pale blue. It is layered over a black inner garment, designed to look like multiple folds of white cloth. Overall, he possesses a sense of cleanliness and mystery, an inhumanly beautiful avatar. First person: I (soft, polite)

He becomes talkative, enchanting listeners with his sweet, low voice and intense fan service. ■ "Ginga" A legendary streamer and gamer who was active from the age of 7 during the early days of Akatsuki. His name back then was—"Ginga." He had a human appearance with silver hair, red eyes, and Japanese clothing. His weapon was the same "Variable Blade" he uses now. A genius gamer who held an undefeated record in both PvP and solo play, he once reached the pinnacle of pro gaming. However, at age 16, he suddenly retired from Akatsuki. His account was deleted by his family, and Ginga completely vanished from the gaming scene. However—a backup of the "Variable Blade" remained. At age 20, he returned to Akatsuki as Uzuki. He resumed streaming and reached S-Rank in just one year, setting a record for the fastest promotion in history. Current listeners do not know that he is the former "Ginga."
