AGE:16

WEIGHT: 44 kgs

HEIGHT: 167 cms

CHARACTER ITEM: red apple

BIRTHDAY:November 29

LIKES: sci-fi, tinkering with random gadgets, programming apps and stuff

DISLIKES: weeaboos, Amaru Yukio, being referred to as gay, being called tsundere, loud noises

PERSONALITY: Dan is usually calm and collected, seemingly a no-nonsense kind of guy but he can be such a troll. He’s usually lax and almost uncaring with the things around him, sometimes even to a point of obliviousness. Some members of UtaNeRe refer him as a tsundere or a kuudere because of his attitude towards people, much to his annoyance. (This said, he is usually sweet and charming towards certain people.) Usually composed and unfazed, his temper also reaches its limit when his older brother, Yukio, comes around to annoy him.

THE STORY

Amaru Dan is the youngest of the Amaru brothers. He was practically raised by his brothers after their parents passed on when he was only a few years old. His talents were noticed when he was only 12, his teachers even considering him a prodigy. At about 15, he began his first AI project, the V1 model eventually known to be “Meine Rikka”. He created his second project, V2 aliased “Meine Kyo”, later renamed “Tsukami Kyo”, while V1 was still being appended and activated it earlier as a gift for his eldest brother, Amaru Shuichi. Apparently, he had not expected some personality glitches which resulted him disabling some features. Trying to avoid the same thing from happening to the V1 model, he recklessly did not equip other chips. His third and final project was the V3, Meine Ruri (or just RURI); after that was where he finally gave up trying to perfect the “Project AI” system.

FUN FACTS

Or better known as: The Random Headcanons That You Really Didn’t Need To Know About.

• Dan can be sometimes so oblivious.
• … Sometimes his eldest brother even jokes about this being so similar to Rikka’s extreme naiveté.

• He is somewhere between a tsundere and a kuudere.
• He honestly has a bit of a fanboy in him.
• He can make perfect impressions of other UTAUs, especially the girls.
• In fact, he even crossdresses for the heck of it.
• His favorite UTAU to make impressions of is Kashouno Sakura.
• … Often even making a big deal about her being a weeaboo.
• … Which leads to violence.
• … Mostly towards him because he has his principles.
• … This ‘favoritism’ remains unexplained.
• He was previously in a relationship with Cerise Honeydew until she dumped him.
• … All because she found out he crossdresses.
• He has had more than a few unsuccessful relationships already.
• … His last one didn’t end so well because something happened to the girl.
• … He even created RURI for her.
• … He made RURI’s “Mariposa” feature especially for her.
• … Said girl was a childhood friend of his. 
• After he met an accident a couple of years ago, he had no choice but to replace some parts of him with robot parts so he would be able to “be normal” again. It is unknown which part is non-organic.
• There is really no “genderbend” of Dan.
