Root (るぅと) is an utaite who started in 2015. At first, he took the name Sou (そぅ)[3], but quickly changed it after his first few uploads.
His most popular cover is "Ikkitousen" with Jel, gaining over 5M views on YouTube. His most popular solo cover is "Goodbye Declaration" with over 8.1 million views on YouTube.
He has a laid-back, calm and generally high ranged voice, and he sometimes uses autotune in his covers. His voice can be described as shota-ish, and he seldom covers songs with lower pitches as a result of his general high range.
His persona's appearance varies from artist to artist, though he is typically portrayed as having a neat brown hairstyle and is associated with the color yellow. Less occasionally he is portrayed with yellow hair, typically in pictures where he is portrayed with other members of Strawberry Prince, likely to differentiate him from Nanamori, another member of the group who is drawn often similarly. On rare occasions he is also drawn with a beauty mark under his eye.
