Sekihan

Sekihan (赤飯) is a well known utaite, known as a "ryouseirui". His covers are often very comical featuring many adlibs and bizarre dialogue.

He sings various type of genres, and is known to fit his tone to match the mood of the song. Also, it is common for him to sing in more than one scale of voice in his covers. Some well known covers in which he sings as a male and a female, are Magnet and ACUTE. Both are duets with Piko, with whom he did often do duets, and has sung with on certain live occasions, as he is known to have a good relationship with him.

His official mascot and logo is (赤・ω・飯), a cat-like hand puppet, which often appears in fanart and photos of him. He also has a real exemplar, which he named "Nyaahan" (にゃあーはん). ("Nya" is equivalent to "meow" in English.) Nyaahan has a cartoon cat face and the kanji 赤 and 飯 on each cheek, and has his "own" twitter. The tweets there are written in Nyaahan's point of view, and usually are updates to fans on his "master's" (Sekihan's) condition and upcoming concerts.

Sekihan himself is also extremely active on twitter, and often responds to fan's tweets to him; often replying words of encouragement and telling them about how he is doing.

He recently began to hold namhousous every week, either on Wednesday or Thursday.
