Who is Dola?

Dola is a Japanese virtual entertainer who debuted with NIJISANJI in June 2018. Her character is presented as a fire drake that took on a human form after discovering a smartphone in her treasure hoard. She is active as a streamer and singer on major platforms, with a longstanding YouTube channel and an X presence.

Background & mission

Dola’s character description emphasizes curiosity about human culture, especially food, anime, games, and music. Her on-screen persona blends playful dignity with a warm, relaxed presence that centers community interaction and performance.

Visual style & aesthetics

Visually Dola combines dragon elements with human fashion: visible horns and a distinctive scaled tail appear alongside a range of 2D and 3D outfits. Her color palette and costume choices often lean into dark reds, blacks, and fiery accents that echo the fire drake motif.

Alternate outfits and model builds let her shift between more humanlike silhouettes and clearly draconic displays, which is a recurring visual theme in streams, music videos, and official merchandise.

Persona & content

Dola’s tone on broadcast is steady, friendly and occasionally playful, with a habit of caring for collaborators and fans. She often uses warm greetings and signoffs and presents herself as reliable and community-focused during collaborations and solo streams.

Alongside solo activity she is known for regular collaborations with other NIJISANJI members, contributing both as a performer and as a connector in multi‑member projects and joint events.

Content Type & Format

Dola’s core output is live streaming on YouTube. Her streams commonly include gaming sessions, free talk, and collaborative multi‑person shows. These live broadcasts form the backbone of Dola’s schedule and showcase Dola's personality in real time.

Singing and music content are major components of Dola's channel. She posts cover performances, original songs, and music video style uploads; music releases and stage appearances figure prominently among Dola's content and public activities.

Short highlights, premiere videos, and social updates appear alongside longer archived streams on YouTube and on X for announcements and clips. Fans engage through live chat, comments, staged premieres, and official fanclub content that supplements Dola's public videos.
