Skip to main content
Your Hitorino profile is the face you show to the community — whether you’re a viewer leaving comments or a creator building an audience. Keeping it up to date helps others recognize you, find your content, and connect with you across the platform. This page walks you through every profile setting available to you, including the extra channel customization options available to creators.

Edit Your Profile

To open your profile settings, click your avatar in the top-right corner of any page and select Settings, then choose Profile from the left-hand menu.
1

Update your display name

Enter a new display name in the Display Name field. Your display name appears on comments, in subscription lists, and on your public profile page. It can be up to 50 characters and may include letters, numbers, spaces, and common punctuation.
Changing your display name does not change your @username, which is used in URLs and mentions. To request a username change, contact support.
2

Upload a new avatar

Click the circular avatar preview and select Upload Photo. Hitorino accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP files up to 5 MB. After uploading, use the crop tool to frame your image, then click Save.
Square images with a clear subject work best — your avatar is displayed at sizes as small as 32 × 32 px in comment threads.
3

Write or update your bio

Use the Bio field to tell people who you are. You have up to 300 characters. Plain text only — links and markdown are not rendered in bios.
4

Add social links

Scroll to the Social Links section. You can add up to five links to external profiles such as Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, your personal website, or any other URL. Enter a label and a full URL (including https://) for each link. Links appear as clickable icons on your public profile page.
5

Save your changes

Click Save Profile at the bottom of the page. Changes take effect immediately and are visible to anyone who visits your profile.

View Your Public Profile Page

Your public profile page is visible to everyone on Hitorino, including logged-out visitors. To see exactly what others see, click your avatar and select View Public Profile. The URL follows the pattern hitorino.tv/@yourusername. Your public profile displays:

Display Name & Avatar

The name and photo you set in profile settings, shown prominently at the top of your page.

Bio

Your short bio text, displayed beneath your display name.

Social Links

Clickable icons linking to the external profiles you added.

Content & Activity

For viewers, recent public watch activity if you have enabled it. For creators, your uploaded videos and live stream schedule.

Creator Channel Customization

If your account has creator features enabled, you have access to additional channel settings that let you brand your page and communicate with your audience.
Creator features are available to all accounts. Go to Settings → Creator Dashboard → Enable Creator Mode to unlock channel customization.

Channel Banner

Upload a banner image that spans the top of your channel page. Recommended dimensions are 1440 × 360 px. The banner is cropped on smaller screens, so keep important elements — like your logo or channel name — centered.

Channel Trailer

Set an unlisted video as your channel trailer. This video autoplays (muted) for visitors who are not yet subscribed to you. Choose a video that best represents your content and gives new visitors a reason to subscribe.

About Tab

The About tab on your channel page lets you write a longer description of your channel — up to 2,000 characters. Use this space to explain your content schedule, topics you cover, and what subscribers can expect. Unlike your short bio, this field supports line breaks for easier reading.

Schedule Panel

Add a weekly streaming schedule so your audience knows when to tune in. For each day of the week, set a start time and a label (for example, “Chill Gaming” or “Cooking Stream”). Times are stored in UTC and converted to each viewer’s local time zone automatically.
By default, your channel page shows your most recently uploaded videos first. To create a custom order, go to Creator Dashboard → Channel Layout → Video Shelf and drag videos into your preferred sequence. You can also create named sections — for example, “Best of 2024” or “Tutorials” — to group related videos.

Privacy Considerations for Your Profile

Your display name, avatar, and bio are always public, even if you set your watch history or subscription list to private. If you want to use Hitorino anonymously, choose a display name and avatar that do not reveal your identity.
To control what additional information appears on your public profile — such as watch activity and subscription lists — see Privacy and Safety.
