Igarashi Rika Face Reveal

A lot of people search for an answer to the question of whether Igarashi Rika revealed her face. The right answer is “no.” There are various reasons but two of them are the most obvious that the mother company would not like to split attention between Igarashi Rika’s digital personality and the actress behind her. This allows the company to avoid various misunderstanding cases when for some people some of the posts from a streamer can be offended.

Even if there are no such limitations, a lot of streamers may avoid revealing faces because some of them have to work on 9-5 job and they don’t want to be recognized and grab attention to their personality not the right time because this can trigger them and they will be fired as a result.

So, keeping a high level of security and privacy allows a street, fan base, and parental company to build healthy relationships that last longer.

How Old is Igarashi Rika?

According to the Birthday Stream on April 14, 2023, Igarashi Rika is 21 years old. This means that she will turn 22 in several months. During it, Igarashi Rika claimed how she is happy to be an adult girl and to have such a nice community.

She has the “right” age when you are mature enough to do anything you want and everything you want is to explore, to find new people, to make more connections, and to make some friends and a lot of buddies. 

The fan base understands and appreciates this that’s why her streams are always funny and supportive in both ways. 

Where is Igarashi Rika From?

Igarashi Rika is originally from Japan from where her account was created on YouTube. NIJISANJI looked for seven female VTubers, hearing them to make the final decision. As we can see, she was one among the chosen. 

There can be several reasons behind this. One of them is that Igarashi Rika knows Japanese culture very well which makes it much easier to connect with local folks. We still don’t have intel from what city she is from and in what city she lives. This can be a good to keep this information away from the public. 

She likes other cultures especially Korean, Chinese, and the US. During streams, she answers people on their questions in the chat, but she is quite more interactive when she has chatting sessions.

Where Does Igarashi Rika Live?

As we mentioned before, Igarashi Rika is from Japan. She created her account from Japan on October 24, 2022. There is no such information on the Web where exactly Igarashi Rika lives. As a person who is affiliated with NIJISANJI, she could write a contract about not disclosing such information to everyone during streams and talking in the live AI chat. This allows people to focus on her personality as a VTuber. It’s the right decision to aim that people will follow just several social network accounts to be in touch with their VTuber.

Another fundamental reason lies in the fact that some people from her fan base can start investigating her posts and private life information. Even if they think in a positive way, this intel can be dangerous in the hands of weird people. All of this can bring discomfort in her life and make it unbearable. 

How Tall is Igarashi Rika?

Igarashi Rika mentioned in her first streams that she was 152 cm or 5’ without heels and 159 cm or 5’2 in them. We like this funny versatility she shows to be more like us. Actually, height doesn’t matter too much when you talk about digital personality because this can be experienced only on streams with boys who are actually taller by nature. So, boys pick their height from 5’5 to 6’3 to match the preferences of some girls. 

Nowadays, the height of a streamer is absolutely the last thing you should be concerned about. Everyone cares whether the topics, videos, chatting, playing games, singing in karaoke, etc. is funny or not. That’s why a lot of streamers build a loyal and ready-to-act fan base.
