Watame Tsunomaki

Watame Tsunomaki, also known as Sheep, Wataoji, Watamelon and Watambe-senpai, is a Japanese Virtual YouTuber endorsed by hololive.
== Charactah Account ==
Watame is a sheep bard that goes around everywhere. She loves singing and is fluffy! YES! FLUFFY! Being a herbivore, she loves potato chips. 
Watame speaks in a pleasant tone befitting her image of a soft fluffy sheep. Her voice has been noted by fans to be especially soft, mature and womanly. However, in direct contrast to this image, Watame often amuses herself by making crazed facial expressions. Her wide-eyed, psychotic smile has become iconic on her channel, even appearing on some of her official merchandise (a double-sided pillow cover). She also bobs and weaves her head and body around, which has become one of her signature gestures that she does especially when singing.
Watame seems to be okay with her fellow hololive members eating her during collaboration streams, as she reassured her fans that even if she was eaten she would respawn after an 8-second timer.

== Trivia ==
* Watame's name is a pun on "Wata-Ame" which translates to "cotton candy" in Japanese. The beginning of Watame's first name, "Wata," translates to "cotton" in Japanese; cotton having a look and texture very similar to that of wool grown by and sheared from sheep. Her surname, Tsunomaki, comes from Tsuno which translates to "horn" and Maki which can translate to "coil," related to her coiled sheep horns.
* Watame was noted for having issues with her internet connection during her streams and had multiple disconnects due to her "faulty connection," thus earning her a slightly amusing reputation of being prone to disconnect, as shown here. Though she later announced that she fixed her connection.
* Though usually partially obscured by her bangs, Watame has extended, fuzzy ears like those of a sheep. Watame's sheep-ears tend to involuntarily wiggle when she blinks. She does not have human ears.
* Watame shares the same birthday as Holostars member Astel Leda.
* Watame is known to be an avid snacker, with a particular predilection for potato chips. Her favorite variety appears to be Consommé flavor, while she has a particular dislike for spicy varieties. Watame frequently enjoys potato chips while on stream, with her chat frequently responding to the crunching-sound with posts of "Potato Chip ASMR".
* Watame's voice, as well as distinct mannerisms such as her laugh, have been noted by fans and even hololive members to be extremely similar to that of Oozora Subaru's illustrator and VTuber Shigure Ui. Subaru even claimed that when she watched Watame's debut stream she became confused and thought that it was actually Ui streaming under a new identity. Ui's design notably contains several fuzzy little fluff-balls that heavily resemble the texture of Watame's wool. The idea of a conspiracy where Watame and Ui are secretly one and the same has become a minor running joke among both fanbases, though it is not taken very seriously, especially since the two have done collaborations together.
* Watame is the sixth hololive member to join the official hololive Subreddit as a moderator after Roboco-san.
* Watame is widely known for her armpit-side boob (also known as "wakipai") fetish and liking for this part in general, since then it has become a running-gag in the community. When she appears as a guest in any 3D stream, Watame often asks the girls to show their wakipai or make several references of her new fetish, earning the title of "wata-oji" by the community. At one point she even asked Fubuki to smell her armpit and asked Coco to "lick" Haachama's armpit in a 3D stream in her behalf. In a Fall Guys stream with Haachama, Watame explains her "awakening" and why she started to like it. In her 3D debut, she went as far as too show her armpit at the request of her viewers.
* Watame shares the same illustrator with Phase-Connect 's Hakushika Iori, and Axel-V's Akuma Saki.
* Watame has a channel section called Girigiri Warukunai Watame (Barely at Fault Watame) a Friday morning series of 3D shorts that started on 7 January 2022, uploaded at 7:00 JST, before being changed to be uploaded on Friday nights at 19:00 JST.
