Panyo

Panyo (ぱにょ) is an utaite who first debuted in 2007 with a cover of "Okkusenman", which has since been deleted. He has also used another name, Hoshimi Aoto, in some of his works, starting with his cover of "Cantarella". Another name Panyo has also used with his uploads was ロクデナシ(´・ ω・｀) but due to the large confusion it caused, he decided to use the name Panyo for his Nico Nico uploads and Hoshimi Aoto for his doujin music circle, Romaria Crusade, with Takanashi Mako. Panyo covers Vocaloid, Sound Horizon and anime songs and has done gag manga dubbing as well. In Romaria Crusade, he writes the songs and plans the CD storyline.

Panyo is known for making extra erotic covers of songs, mainly because he uses a lot of serifu (spoken lines) and sound effects as ad-libs. His songs are often tagged "For 18+ viewers only" and "headphones clearly needed". He was previously dubbed as "Dasoku's younger brother" because of their similar effects to the listeners. Aside from the serifu, though, he sings a wide range of genres, from rock to pop to ballads. From his compositions it can be seen that he likes and gets inspiration from Sound Horizon.

Outside the doujin/NND life, Panyo was once a math teacher, then a kateikyoushi (home tutor), then an employee at the supermarket and presently, a restaurant employee. He steadfastly denies that he has worked in a host club. He is currently 28-29 years old and likes girls with long, black hair and he stresses that he is not a lolicon. He is quite close to 5comasuberi, Dasoku (who he looks up to), and Clear (his "sweets mate").

Panyo started learning how to play the piano when he was 3 years old and at 14 he started the violin but stopped in the end.

Other Information
The notorious "magnet" cover was a storyline thought up by Panyo and 5coma in which they are in teacher-student relationship where the teacher (Panyo) tries to make the student (5coma) forget his huge crush on his home tutor (???). In the end, Panyo suggests that they enter the bathtub together and a little while after it is stated that the home tutor refers to minato/Tourai... much to Tourai's shock. ("You can just forget about me, it's okay...") And so the minor Nico Nico meme/Pixiv fanart explosion began.
