{{FriendBuilder/KemoV
|introduction='''Dire Wolf''', often called by her nickname '''Dia''', is a Virtual YouTuber and part of the [[KemoV]] project. She debuted on March 18, 2022 as the fifth member of KemoV. She is a veteran of the game, Valorant and a big otaku of anime, Vtubers and the Japanese idol group, Hello! Project.

|personality= Complete contrast to her cool look and her character being based on a fierce canine, she is more of a child-like, laid-back member who is very weak to horror games. Her carefree personality may have lended her a very calm state of mind to perform confidently in front of big audience. Notably she is very calm when it comes to live performance; she showed no nervousness even in her very first live for KemoV. Dire Wolf has a soft, calm and slightly mumbling voice, and often makes a variety of funny noises during gameplay. She enjoys FPS games, especially Valorant. Being a big otaku of anime and its [[wikipedia:Voice acting in Japan|seiyū]], VTubers and music groups, she loves to talk about them on Twitter and during stream. More often than not, games she picked for livestreams have her favorite Seiyū in them.
|greetings=She starts her streams by saying "Ohaga o-" (おはがおー!) and ends with "Jā na Urufu!" (じゃあなウルフ!). "Irasshasse-" (いらっしゃっせー) is her welcome phrase to new viewers.

|regular= Her regular stream often recurs at 19:00 JST. Main themes include gaming and chatting with fans, usually about anime. A lot of the time she does guerrilla livestreams playing Valorant. Perhaps because she often sleeps early, her stream schedule is more diurnal compared the other members who often stream later in the evening. Occasionally she does gunpla-making stream which is unique among KemoV.
