. Venti's fans are called Cecilias. "To all my Cecilas, thank you!" and there'll be some lucky girls actually named Cecilia who will be every fan's target of jealousy 😭

. Their trigger words/actions for the water gun game (i.e. members getting singled out and shot with water by the others for their most predictable mannerisms) are: Venti saying "ehe" at the end of sentences, Xiao's soft "hmph" at the start of sentences, Kazuha saying "my friends", Heizou saying "man alive!" and Aether saying "Sure".

. a Venti controversy being that he's a diva who hogs the spotlight. Accusers reference multiple occasions when he steps between Kazuha and cameras. Real fans debunk this by helping explain that it's because outside official events, Kazuha doesn't like being the centre of attention (*based on a canon in game line).

. Xiao posts weekly vids of him dancing choreo of other groups (including girl groups) to help teach the dance community. He also joins other idols when they dance the key parts of their choreo for the Instagram dance challenges.

. Heizou and Kazuha are popularly admired for being close friends and from Inazuma. They sometimes play this up at fanmeets by making cute heart signs.

. Venti went on Masked Singer dressed as a cat and still experienced allergies.

. Xiao is often called the mom of the group for being strict but fair and always checking up on the members. Like the time he said he was too busy but still visited Venti during his rehearsals for a solo comeback and even helped him out. He's the member who will tell the rest not to worry about coming to his birthday Vlives, but always makes time to come to theirs with gifts too 🥺

. Heizou will go live at random times, say the most random/cryptic things, then end the stream. If a fan brings it up, he messes with them and pretends he has no idea what they're talking about.

. Kazuha's IG profile is full of scenery and random cat pics.

. Aether has an entire series of him trying out new hobbies and generally realising he's good at them. Fans always joke in the comments like "there's no way our Ace will be good at this thing too, come on guys, not for the 40th time in a row, right. Not like he's the Ace of 5WIRL or anything. imagine lolol"

. Xiao's mini controversy is about him not accepting gifts from fans. He personally feels there's no need but people claim he's ungrateful.

. On top of Kazuha telling jokes at random times, he gets philosophical about random things. Heizou made buttered toast in one of their shows and Kazuha said "life is plain and dry by itself but it's the little things that make it interesting" and tbh he's not wrong.

. One of Kazuha's legendary bad jokes include replying to a compliment on how young he looks with "Thank you but Venti's baby face can't be de-feoted."

. if Heizou thinks one of the members have touched his food in the fridge without permission, he'll go full detective mode and interrogate his members. Sometimes they confess like "I used your jam, sorry" or they'll agree to mess with him and give fake alibis.

I have to admit

I love Shikanion Heizou -
