## Profile

The one in charge of R&D in Secret Society holoX.

As part of her studies into human behavior, she meddles in the other members' affairs and tries to help them out at every turn.

Possessed by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, she may sometimes also deliberately mess with people just to see how they react.

The self-proclaimed "brains of the operation." Her areas of expertise, however, are pretty limited.

### Background

She was first revealed as part of *holoX*, the sixth generation of the Japanese branch of hololive, in an introductory video posted on 26 November 2021 at noon JST.

## Mascot and fans

* Her partner is a coyote robot.

## Trivia

* Hakui Koyori is not a cat or a fox, but a coyote. As described in her debut, she was born on a savannah to coyote parents. Rather than inheriting her parents' traits, her intelligence and "geek" stats were exceptionally high.
* In the kanji used to write her surname "Hakui," 「博衣」, the first is read "haku" and means "doctor" or "professor," and appears in "hakase," which has the same meaning; while the second kanji, read "i," means "clothing." Her given name "Koyori" is written in hiragana, and is a Japanese female given name, which resembles the word "coyote."
* Koyori shares her illustrator with Petra Gurin of Nijisanji EN.
* Her greeting "konkoyo" appears to be a portmanteau of the standard Japanese greeting "konnichiwa" and her name Koyori. Similar greetings include Shirakami Fubuki's "kon kon kitsune" and Ceres Fauna's "konfauna."
* Her hexagonal hair pin represents a molecular diagram of a benzene ring, a constituent of petrochemicals.
* Koyori's strengths include skill with tongue-twisters, good memory, skill with numbers and with mental games, detective skill, and typing. She is skilled at voice impersonations.
* Her weaknesses include horror, insects, arm, poor luck, mornings, spicy food, and FPS games.
* Her favorite things include singing, planning, MC, human observation, video games, crane games, and theme parks.
* Her favorite foods are meat, ramen, sake, shirako, udon, mayonnaise, and fugashi.
* Her favorite anime include *Macross F*, *Higurashi no naku koro ni*, *Gundam Seed*, *Detective Conan*, *Saki*, *Uma Musume*, and *Tokyo Revengers*. She also likes western-made media including *Game of Thrones* and *Ready Player One*.
