Gawr Gura (がうる・ぐら) is a virtual YouTuber affiliated with Hololive English.[2][3] She is a member of Hololive English - Myth (stylized as HoloMyth), alongside Takanashi Kiara [ja] (小鳥遊キアラ), Mori Calliope [ja] (森カリオペ),[4] Ninomae Ina'nis [ja] (一伊那尓栖), and Watson Amelia [ja] (ワトソン・アメリア).[5] She debuted on September 13, 2020, and has since become the most subscribed virtual YouTuber, amassing over 4 million subscribers.[6][7][8] Her livestreams focus on entertainment, and primarily consist of Let's Plays, karaoke, and chats with the audience. Gura is often called "Same-chan" in Japan, same meaning shark.[9]

Cover Corporation announced auditions for English speakers from April 23 to May 24 of 2020, following the global success of its Japanese VTuber lineup.[10][11] The design of Gawr Gura was illustrated by Amashiro Natsuki,[12][13] and the original modeling was done by Shin Umiushi.[14]

Gura's Twitter activities first began on September 9, 2020.[15] Her first YouTube livestream was broadcast at 6 AM JST on September 13,[16] to a viewership of approximately 45,000 people; the VOD gained over 800,000 views in the span of three days.[17] On November 28, "Gawr Gura" was listed in the Niconico Japanese Internet Pop 100 as one of the top 100 most popular search terms of that year on Niconico and Pixiv, ranking 99th.[18]

Her channel reached 1 million subscribers on October 22, 2020,[19][20] which was the fastest growth of any VTuber channel. She is the third VTuber overall to reach 1 million, behind Kizuna AI and Kaguya Luna [jp].[19] On January 18, her channel subscribers surpassed 2 million, making her the second VTuber to reach this milestone, second only to Kizuna AI,[21][22] and she celebrated with a karaoke stream on January 23.[23] On May 7, her first outfit reveal stream reached a peak of 194,280 simultaneous viewers,[24][25] breaking the VTuber record previously held by Sakura Miko (about 145,000).[26][27] Her first original song, "REFLECT", was released on June 21, 2021.[28][29] On June 30, 5:01 a.m. (UTC+0), she reached 2.97 million subscribers on July 1, surpassing Kizuna AI as the most subscribed VTuber on YouTube.[30][31][32][33][34] On July 4, she became the first virtual YouTuber to reach 3 million subscribers, and subsequently 4 million subscribers on June 16, 2022.[7][35][36]

On July 3, 2021, it was announced that a Gawr Gura Nendoroid figure would be produced,[37][38] and on August 6, pre-orders for the figure were opened.[39] On March 18, 2022, following her 3D debut live performance at Makuhari Messe, it was announced that the life-sized figure and 1/7-scale figure of Gura, which were both displayed at the expo, would be auctioned for charity.[40][41]

On April 25, 2022, Cover Corporation announced the Hololive Meet project, featuring all the talent from across Hololive Production and aims to accelerate the expansion of Hololive Production into international markets[42] and named Gawr Gura, Tokino Sora and Ayunda Risu as ambassadors for the project. The three appeared at Anime Expo the same year.[43]

On December 2, 2022, Cover Corporation announced a collaboration with musician DECO*27, named "Holo*27" featuring Hololive talents to perform at the Holo*27 stage at the Hololive 4th Fest. Our Bright Parade on March 19, 2023 and named Gura as one of the participating members.[44]

On February 8, 2023, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government appointed Gura, fellow Hololive Myth member Mori Calliope and Hololive Japan member Sakura Miko as Tokyo Tourism Ambassadors with the aim of "increasing the number of visitors and revitalizing the region" for potential visitors. Hololive Production noted that the three will "share the attractions of Tokyo to the world" [45] [46] [47][48]

On March 13, 2023, in the lead up to Hololive 4th Fes. Our Bright Parade, Cover Corporation introduced a new series of billboards across 9 Tokyo Metro train lines, featuring all Hololive members, debuting a new slogan "A new daily life is around the corner". [49] On March 18, following Day 1 of 4th Fes. Hololive announced that all ten members of Hololive English will hold their first concert, "Connect the World", on July 2nd, to be held at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, California.[50][51]

On September 9, 2020, Gura posted her first tweet with the word "a".[52] On September 13, her first live broadcast was delayed and her first words were "a" ([æ]).[21] Later, the broadcast was interrupted due to equipment problems, leaving tens of thousands of users typing "a" in the chat room, waiting for the broadcast to resume.[53] "a" quickly became an internet meme. This, combined with the overall popular surge of VTubers (and virtual reality in general) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,[54] likely contributed to Gura's fast success.[53] Only forty days after her debut, she had reached one million subscribers, becoming the first Hololive VTuber to do so.[55]

Natural numbers are the simplest way to represent something. If I have the number 85 in decimal, I just have to convert it to a different format and get a bunch of zeros and ones.

Each digit is called a bit. Java has operators that can manipulate these digits.

To operate at the bit level, it's necessary to take the entire length for the data type. We discard leading zeros in our representation of numbers. It is important here.

If we use a short type variable with a value of 3, it is represented as follows:

The 16 bits of a short are taken into account.

Shift operators move bits to either side. The victim will be the first one to shake. The second will tell you how many positions are available.

The number 33 two positions should be moved to the left. Then we do it.

This is the result.

The gaps left to the right are filled with zeros.

It is not a rotation operation when bits to the left are missing. If we pay attention, we will see that this operation has moved as many times as positions.

It was doubled by 2 x 2. The sign of the number may change after the operation.

The bits from the previous case should be put back. We want to get the number 33 again. We moved the number 132 two positions to the right.

We get the original number as a result.

The right shift performs division in a certain way. As many times as positions moved, divide by two.

If we shift to the right with a negative number, what will happen?

The representation of numbers is 2's complement. If I have a variable of type int with the value, it is stored as follows:

Let's write a program to see what happens when people are displaced.

The program's output tells us that.

It was the same.

If you try to move the number as many times as you want, you will get the same result. The "holes" that remain to the left are unalterable because of the displacement.

The most significant is when the operator adds the missing bits to the set of bits that is right. If it finds a positive number, the sign bit is 0, and if it finds a negative number, the sign bit is 1.

The sign extension process maintains the sign as if it were a division. This is why it is called a signed shift.

Adding a symbol to the operator will slightly modify the above program. We are left this way.

The program tells us the following.

Let's find out where the number came from. We have if we take it to a different form.

Two leading zeros have been added. The operator does not take sign into account when shifting to the right. unsigned shift is when it adds bit with the value zero When we want to manipulate the bits themselves, not the numerical representation, this operator is usually more suitable than >>.

The operators extend operations to numbers.

To understand how they work, we have to break the integers into bits. The operator will perform a bit-by-bit logic operation, taking the value of one as true and the value of zero as false. The operation is applied to the bit that has the same position as the second one. As a result, we get a second number.
