OJIRO ZAIRE 尾白 ザイエア (Patreon)

pronounced za-EER (like zigh-ear)!!! its such a beautiful name originating from the Kikongo people of Central Africa, meaning "The river that swallows all rivers". 🌊🌊 With countless tributaries flowing into the Congo River, it exists as one of the most powerful waterways we know in the world! 🌍

This also ties in with how waterways and rivers are key to the survival and stability of human civilisation by sustaining crops and rice paddies, something kita is very knowledgeable about! 🌾🧑🏻‍🌾

rivers are also connecting bodies, just like how zaire's calm and curious nature bridges the miya cousins in the team together. 👯‍♂️👯‍♂️ with an overly cautious and avoidant naochan and an impatient and dominating ashi, BOTH of them being stubborn on top of that, only zaire knows how to get them on the team agenda by being the king of negotiation and the one who gets shit done bc he loves experimenting on the spot! 🤝🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

though zaire appears calm in comparison to arashi, still waters run deep, so don't be fooled!!! 🫣
