**Shaoron** (**シャオロン**) is an active member of ○○ no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!. A troublemaker who is known for his desperation for popularity, Shaoron is perceived as one of the liveliest members of the group. His activeness, bright personality, and stable hosting skills has led him to being entrusted by the other members to grace various events, such as the regularly held assembly for subscribers of Wrwrd's Nico Nico channel. He was responsible for the making of the infamous *GisGis Memorial* series, which is a collection of gameplay videos of the dating simulator *Tokimeki Memorial*. He first appeared in the *Minecraft* gameplay video, *"GisGis Craft and the five good friends"*.

## Personality

Shaoron is a 'first-level agitator'. He likes to tease the other members, especially Zomu, who he often taunts with erotic stories. During gameplays, he tends to behave in an overtly suspicious manner, and is often compared to a madman. However, he's perfectly capable of becoming the common sense person of the group.

Shaoron is very bubbly and likes to reach out to fans. He is one of the few members who have made a live appearance. However, he seems to react excessively to jokes about his 'unpopularity'.

## Appearance

Shaoron is a young man with short black hair and brown eyes. In some of his appearances, he can be seen wearing a red knit hat with a pig-shaped button on it. His standing picture depicts him with a bob brunette hairstyle and brown eyes. He wears a pair of yellow overalls with a red and white horizontally striped long-sleeve shirt (or in some illustrations, a dark grey turtleneck sweater) underneath, as well as a pair of brown-colored shoes and a pig-shaped hairpin on his hair. An alternative design has him with a more boyish wavy hairstyle, as well as wearing a beanie similar to the one he wears in his real-life appearance, albeit colored orange or light brown instead of red.

## Fictional Counterparts

Below are some depictions of Shaoron in various works.

### *Cthulhu Mythos TRPG*

Shaoron is one of the players in Wrwrd's "Cthulhu Mythos TRPG with Rich Personalities" video series, playing as himself. His appearance is slightly different from his standing picture, where he has short hair and wears a light brown knit hat. Instead of yellow overalls, he wears grey trousers with suspenders. In most scenes, his shoes are colored black as opposed to the standing picture's brown.

### *Mountains of Madness*

**Kousokukaitendawara Manjigoro** (**高速廻天田原 卍五郎**) is Shaoron's character in the "Mountains of Madness with Unique Personalities" TRPG series. He is an ambitious 24-year-old man who wants to climb the Mountains of Madness and be the first person to reach its peak. Manjigoro has brown hair and eyes. His outfit consists of a yellow mountain jacket, brown trousers, grey boots, brown gloves, a red beanie, as well as orange goggles. He also carries a cream-colored hiking backpack.

### *Kaikou*

In his and Utsu-sensei's gameplay of this TRPG, Shaoron plays the role of **Konoha Banbi** (**木ノ葉 ばんび**), a young boy who gets caught up with fighting evil. Banbi has brown hair with long bangs and yellowish brown eyes. He wears a brown suit with a yellow shirt and dark brown vest underneath. A black ribbon is tied around the collar of his shirt.

### *Who is the Swampman?*

**Udzuki Haru** (**卯月 春**) is Shaoron's character in a gameplay series of this TRPG. Haru is a quiet 16-year-old high school student who takes part in solving a mysterious case that's related to the titular swampman. He is depicted having short hair and eyes colored like cherry blossoms. His hair also features two cowlicks resembling cherry blossom petals. He wears a white shirt underneath a pale yellow cardigan, as well as black trousers with a pig-shaped brooch stuck to his hip. He also wears a blue rhombus-shaped necklace with silver lining.

### *Bye-bye Summer Days*

**Nekono Niya** (**猫乃 仁也**) is Shaoron's character in a gameplay series of this TRPG. Niya is a 16-year-old high school student with a mischievous and exuberant personality who refers to himself in third person. He joined his school's Occult Club hiding a desire to seek revenge on the drunkard who killed his parents in a fatal traffic accident. He has red hair with bangs growing towards the left side of his head and dark blue eyes, he wears a red T-shirt underneath a white shirt, along with dark grey trousers and blue sneakers. He carries a *bokken* with a pawprint at the end of the grip and bandages wrapped around it.

### *Isekai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!*

Shaoron didn't have much appearance in this story, but he was seen in the beginning greeting Utsu-sensei and Koneshima at the convenience store. Shaoron seemed to be quite clueless, and was misled by the information that he found on Twitter regarding the nuclear war. His fate after the nuclear war broke is unknown. His appearance in the visual novel is the same as his standing picture, and his appearance in the manga isn't that far off, the only difference is that he has a cowlick on his hair and wears red sneakers.

### *Hell Doctor KuRaRe's Science Can Solve Everything!!*

In this manga, Shaoron is a young boy in his fourth year of elementary school. Much like his classmate, Utsu-kun (based on Utsu-sensei), Shaoron also gets caught up in the scientific experiments of their eccentric teacher KuRaRe. He seems to be deathly afraid of ghosts. His appearance resembles a younger version of his counterpart in the *Isekai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!* manga, with him wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and overall shorts.

### *Makai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!*

**Teufel Shaoron** (***トイフェル・シャオロン***) is the main protagonist of *Makai no Shuyaku wa Wareware da!*. A demon with rank 2, Shaoron attends Babyls Demon School with the ambition of joining the student council and becoming the school's most popular student. However, his ambition is challenged as not only all his attempts to get noticed by the student council get overshadowed by the presence of the honor student Iruma, he also ended up getting roped into joining a shady, unofficial school club called "Our Division". That said, he believes that Our Division can help him fulfill his ambition, and thus he strives to get Our Division be recognized by the student council in order to become an official school club. His appearance is slightly different from the real-life Shaoron's standing picture. He has pointy ears, fangs, a pair of navy-colored horns, black wings, and a red tail with an arrowhead-shaped tip. His knit hat is orange and is shaped to fit his horns. The pig-shaped button on his knit hat is changed, now shaped like a demon (although in some artwork it is a horned pig instead). He wears the school's uniform, a blue blazer with white lining, over his normal clothes, as well as orange sneakers.

## Etymology

He named himself after one of the mascots of the Japanese professional baseball team, Chunichi Dragons (likely his favorite baseball team). The only difference is that while the mascot's name is officially romanized as "Shaolon", Shaoron's name is more commonly spelled with an "r".
