Name: 坂田大和 (Sakata Yamato) English: Yamato Sakata
Representative of:
Niconico, formerly known as Nico Nico Douga.
Utaite Name: 荒子地区, meaning land of the lost children 荒子 = lost child, 地区 = territory Katakana: ァラコチク Romaji: Arakochiku English: Aracotic
Gender: Male.
Age: Human: 22 Historical: Born December 12, 2006
Brief personality: Yamato is calm, laidback individual that never seems to stress over anything. He’s got a high tolerance for stressful situations, which may be due to his extreme intelligence with an IQ of 162. Because of that, he can read any situation well, and the result is that he can almost “see into the future.” No matter what the predicted outcome is, he stresses the importance of personal happiness in any decision that is made. Even so, he makes sure to be sincere when he’s making decisions, and he doesn’t half-ass anything. He may be a bit lazy from time to time, but when there’s work to be done, he makes sure to do it. Work comes before play, but before all else comes everyone he cares about. He’s a sensitive boy deep down, but he’s very good at covering up his vulnerabilities in order to support said people that he cares for. Unfortunately, he’s so good at covering up his vulnerabilities that he doesn’t tend to tell others his problems and worries. He’s known to bottle his emotions up, and if he’s going to cry at all, it’ll be alone in his room where no one can see it. It’s not that he’s scared to tell others his feelings, but rather that he wants people to lean on him, and see him as reliable rather than someone who needs constant support.
Others tend to claim that he has an air of mystery shrouded around him, but that’s only due to his extremely good personal skills. He can predict almost anyone’s actions, and he can read facial expressions and body language to know someone’s true intentions. Because of this, sometimes he likes to sit by windows in the city at maybe a local café and watch people interact. He believes people don’t even need to speak to portray their feelings and intentions, because body language and faces tell the true story by themselves. Although he is extremely perceptive and can practically see into someone’s mind, there is the rare occasion where he is wrong about someone. Because of course, he’s not perfect. “No one is,” he would tell you.
He has several hobbies, such as reading, drawing, and even embroidery, but above all else, he loves music. You can find him listening to music at almost any time, since he and music have an “inseparable bond,” as he calls it. Even though he represents a video site for music and singing, he is shy about singing himself. He himself believes he has a good voice, he just doesn’t know if others will enjoy his singing since his voice is higher than the average male’s. His voice has even been called feminine before, much to his dismay. When he sings all out, his voice is powerful and compelling, yet the only times you’ll catch him singing like that is when he’s in the shower or he’s listening to one of his favourite songs. He’s covered a few songs of his own under the name of 荒子地区 (arakochiku) on his website, but he has yet to do a face reveal to his fans and probably will never because he doesn’t want anyone in real life to know it’s him.
Trivia:
His favourite colour is purple. The dish he likes the most is calamari, so that's the best way to get to his heart. He loves to drink strawberry Ramune more than anything else, and you can find bottles of it scattered all around his apartment. He finds dark chocolate to be his favourite candy. The snack he eats the most is strawberries, and he would consider it his favourite. He goes to small cafés the most often to eat. His biggest fear would have to be living on forever, or apeirophobia. He claims that Cruel Clocks is his favourite song. He listens to Reol more than any other singer. Glutamine or Amatsuki would have to be his role models. When he isn't singing, he likes to spend time reading post-apocalyptic books like The Road. Durarara! is an anime he would gladly watch over and over again. Over all, the evening would be his favourite time of day. Spring is his favourite season. He finds the iris to be the most beautiful flower. His favourite scent would be lavender. He can speak Japanese, Chinese, English, and a little bit of Spanish and German.
Brief physical description: Yamato is a young man with soft brown hair that almost cover his brown eyes. His skin is soft and pale, and he’s even been told that he has the hands of a girl. With hardly any hair on his body, he doesn’t really have much of a need to shave his face or any other body part for that matter. He is tall at 6’3”, and he’s got a lean and yet slender body. Noted to be quite handsome, he carries himself with a confident walk because he knows he’s good looking. Despite being handsome, he doesn’t tend to care too much about appearance as he claims he “wakes up like this in the morning.” His clothes are typically casual, and sometimes even smart-casual, though you can never find him wearing just jeans and a t-shirt. Collared shirts and semi-formal pants are what his closet is filled with, with a few sweaters and other long sleeved shirts. To add onto his semi-nerdy dress-wear, he has glasses that he sometimes wears since he has 20/25 vision, but he doesn’t wear them often since he can easily do without them.
Appearance:
Brief history: The first version of Niconico used YouTube as a video source. However, as the site became more popular, so much traffic was transferred from YouTube that YouTube blocked access from Niconico. Consequently, Niconico was forced to shut down the service but two weeks later it commenced its service with its own video server. On May 7, 2007, a Niconico for mobile phone users was announced. Since August 9, 2007, “Nico Nico Douga (RC) Mobile” has serviced mobile phones of NTT DoCoMo and au.
As of October 31, 2011, Niconico has over 23,690,000 registered users, 6,870,000 mobile users and 1,390,000 premium users. Due to the limited server capacity, Niwango limits the amount of free users accessible to the website at peak times (7 p.m. to 2 a.m.), based on the time of registration. The website is written in Japanese and the majority of the site traffic is from Japan, although approximately four percent is from outside Japan, notably one percent from Taiwan. A Taiwanese version of the site was launched on October 18, 2007. In July 2008, the website was localized to German and Spanish. The Taiwanese localization was significantly improved in the process. An English-language version was added on October 17, 2012, replacing the Niconico.com website, featuring a new player and translation tools allowing users to translate video descriptions into English or Chinese.
On April 27, 2012, Nico Nico Douga announced it would be renaming itself as Niconico, as well as introducing a new “Zero” version of the website which improves video resolution, along with various other upgrades.
Personal History:
I grew up a normal boy... Well, normal as in... I wasn’t a representative. Instead, I was a young, 100% human mortal boy with dreams and aspirations. Anyway, I was born on December 12, 1989. I’d be 26 by now, but I’m not... At age 22, I stopped growing... I’ll get to that later. Well I was born with a pushover dad named Takahiro who was always at work, trying to make money, and a mom named Mei who was a slut. I had a sister named Airi that was two years younger than me and used to look up to me, and she was the only person for the longest time that I actually cared about. When I was around three, they divorced and I ended up in my dad’s custody, who later married a woman named Junko at around age 4. Junko was the only one ever home since my dad was always working to bring us out of debt, so Junko and I bonded I guess. It was a strict household though and I had to do mountains of chores every day, all whilst keeping up with my schoolwork. When in high school, I had a crush on a girl named Mayu Kujou, and so naturally I followed her off to her university and I applied to the same school. We became friends and we both majored in music, so she told me to try out Niconico and sing some songs, and that’s exactly what I did. I made an account called 荒子地区, arakochiku, and began singing songs for fans to enjoy. Mayu and I eventually began dating, but I could tell something was bothering her. Something she couldn’t tell me, even though she knew she had to. Well one day, she told me to meet her out by a local park at 10:00 PM so she could tell me what was on her mind, and so that’s just what I did. But when I came to the park... There were men holding her by her hair, trying to rob her. I pulled out a flimsy pocket knife to try to stop them, but I wasn’t strong enough and Mayu ended up getting thrown to the ground and stabbed an ungodly amount of times in the chest... And then they proceeded to beat me with a lead pipe in the stomach... I knew I was dying, but someone called the ambulance just in time. They pronounced Mayu dead, but little did they know how wrong they were... My organ damage was so terrible that they had to do an emergency transplant of Mayu’s working organs into my body as I was being driven to the ER in the ambulance, because we were just fortunate enough to have the same blood type. When I woke up in the hospital bed, I felt sick... But I was fully healed... I felt like a new entity in fact... But at that moment, I knew in my head what was going on... Some voice told me, or maybe it was just instinct... I’m immortal now... What Mayu failed to tell me is that she was a representative, and I now had representative organs working inside me. That’s how I became the representative of Niconico, something so trivial... Just a damn website. I still don’t know what Mayu represented, but I just know that wherever her body was buried... She’s in a coma, still alive... Not dead... Because representatives don’t die. That day was April 27, 2012, I still remember, because I should be 26... And what terrifies me more than anything is that I’m going to live on forever... And I’m going to watch everyone I love and care for die. But I can’t let that show... I just disappeared from their lives and dropped out of college, and now I’m living in a dingy apartment in Japan, making money off of singing on Niconico and other websites. I’ll just let them think I’m dead, because they can’t know the truth…
