The story
On News VIP, a thread went up where the famous regular poster “Byosoin Kururi” answered questions from fellow posters. In their trademark nonchalant tone, they revealed one thing after another — that their family had moved out to Tokyo, leaving them the only one still at the family home; an actual lawsuit they filed over a review posted on their shop’s review site; and that their YouTube activity is currently on hiatus. The thread also touched on their relationship with rival-ranked poster “Ruru” and banter with another regular, “Washi,” turning into less a straightforward Q&A and more a chance for everyone to enjoy Kururi’s trademark character.
What people said
That's an impostor. Word on the street is that I actually have a very cute voice.
Never set foot in the main house again
I'm the only one left in the family. Everyone else moved out to Tokyo.
I'm steadily preparing the lawsuit.
Has anyone actually sued someone?
I'll throw in like 100 yen as a donation
Apparently Ruru retired because they ran out of money to buy a capture card.
I've never sued anyone over a post on 5channel, but when someone posted a completely baseless bad review of the shop I run, I did take that to court.
Feels like you've gotten more unhinged every year
I've always been unhinged. If anything, I think I've calmed down compared to before.
but show your face a bit more
Let's make it a quota of once or twice a week
All my hobbies are indoor ones these days, so I think I could probably manage that much. Reading and gaming are just too much fun to give up.
Good morning. Done with your daily thick coat of makeup yet?
I want more edge from people
Instead of everyone just getting cozy in the regular-poster scene, I want more people to act a little full of themselves
I think that's fine for the young ones today.
Individuality is the self-expression that inevitably seeps out even while someone's trying to be a 'good kid.'
It's like dashi stock — force the flavor out too hard and it just turns cloudy. Things are far better now than back when the scene was overrun with all-style-no-substance regulars chasing character for its own sake.
Ruru and I are actually best buds. We used to trade jokey jabs at each other, and I still remember, like it was yesterday, the day that somehow spiraled into an all-out blood feud.
I'm heading out today, so it's a 5mm-thick layer of concealer for me.
At this point it's basically a work of art. Wonderful.
I've been on hiatus since last year, but I plan to start back up before the year's out.
Maybe because it's summer vacation season, I gained about 5 subscribers in a month even though I hadn't posted anything at all.
A Kururi is a concept that swims the vast sea of the internet, amplifying the feelings that nest in everyone's heart.
So you're the counterpart to Ruru, the beast that devours the karma of humans running rampant online. Got it.
Have you ever thought about becoming that kind of regular poster yourself?
Thank you. I think I'm funny too, so I like myself as well.
Go easy on the drinking though
I've been more health-conscious since around last year, so I drink a lot less than I used to.
An old guy with zero ulterior motives toward young folks
who just genuinely loves walking and good food, and replies to every single post

He's got a calm vibe, really nice atmosphere.
The old guy looks mellow but he's actually short-tempered
Only topic that's off-limits: inheritance
Now that you mention it, I kind of want to bring it up lol
What's he like when he gets angry?
I'd love to eat so much crab again that my face turns into one.
Background and Key Points of This Topic
On 5ch, there’s a category of regulars known as “kotehan” — posters who keep using the same name or tripcode over a long period and build up a distinctive persona — and this “Kururi” is one of them. The family situation, lawsuit experience, and YouTube history discussed in the thread are all just self-reported claims on an anonymous message board; no real name or identity has been confirmed, and there is no way to verify whether any of it is true. A misconception readers may fall into is assuming Kururi is someone with public name recognition, like a celebrity or influencer — in reality, they’re just an anonymous regular known only within 5ch. Rather than the thread splitting into a debate, it mostly consists of users taking turns tossing out questions and everyone enjoying the back-and-forth as Kururi answers in their trademark nonchalant style.
