In the AWA fics, Coco debuted in the All Worlds Alliance Missions - CROSSOVERDOSE.

## **Appearance**

Coco is a young woman with a very tall stature and a fair complexion, she had a buxom frame and a large chest, she sports a pair of reddish-brown horns with a checkered ribbon on the right and has a purple-colored scaly dragon tail. She had a waist-length orange hair with an ahoge on top of her head and one lock is tied into a braid, she had a purple & reddish-orange eyes, she had pointy ears and wears a black headband with diamond designs. She wears a yellow-accented black jacket with a purple folded collar and cuffs over a white collared & frilled shirt with an open cleavage, and a dragon-themed brooch with a red ruby strapped across her collar area. She wears a red miko-like skirt with open sides and a golden dragon-themed buckle, she wears a black thigh-high socks with red designs on her right leg and on her left leg is a black strap & a short sock, and she wears a pair of brown loafers.

## **Personality**

Coco was an outspoken, irreverent dragon who often employed crude humor and swear words, although she lacked the direct lewdness of members like Natsuiro Matsuri. She enjoyed teasing other members in her streams, making fun of their failures on her morning show or poking fun during collaborations.

She was famous for pushing the boundaries of what VTubers can get away with on YouTube, that Houshou Marine named these boundaries the "Kiryu Coco line". Examples including thumbnails flipping the bird and references to drug use, among other questionable content.

Despite this, Coco was one of the biggest hearted members of hololive. During a now famous live stream of *The Raft* when Minato Aqua shared her feelings about how difficult the life of a virtual idol could be, Coco gave some truly kind words of encouragement that nearly brought Aqua to tears. She often came to the aid of the other players when they experience technical problems. She proposed the construction of a 'hololive house' for all the hololive streamers to live together and help take care of each other.

She's also playful and fun-loving. She started the hololive "ARK Addiction" because she wanted members to play the game together, going as far as to buy Roboco-san her copy of *ARK: Aberration* when she discovered that she'd purchased *ARK: Extinction* instead. This is further showed by the fact that, unlike the NIJISANJI ARK server, which is PvP, Coco's is PvE.

Coco loved the *Yakuza* video game series and streamed it often. Her love for *Yakuza* goes as far that she is called *kaichou*, "chairman," a title used by yakuza leaders which is shared by her favorite character, Kiryu Kazuma.

She sometimes used English and Japanese interchangeably. She often began streams with her catchphrase phrase "Goooood MORNING MOTHERF@$#ERS!", in reference to her morning show AsaCoco Live News, in which it is followed by "OKITE, OKITE! OKITE KU-DA-SA-I!" (Wake up, Wake up! WAKE UP PL-EA-SE!) in Japanese.

In Chapter 17, Coco is present inside the Sugarcube Corner where she witnessed Eddy Skipper McGee and Dan Mandel beating-up each other alongside the two knocking out Tenma Daytona Romeoford. After Pinkie Pie stopped them with Dan & Chris Pearson leaving the cafe, Coco and the rest got themselves some cupcakes and went separate ways. After their tour concluded, Coco and the rest settled themselves inside the Corona House.

In Chapter 22, Coco met up with Ushio Makunouchi in the halls of the seventh floor in the Corona House where they decided to head towards the cafeteria together when they came across Kirie Kojima, Miharu Sena Kanaka and Souseke Sagara.
