Caution on Vox Akuma’s past actions
- Preface: Nijisanji’s Vox Akuma’s past life was the vtuber Calysto, preceded by a voice actor online by the name Vade. The connection between all identities will be showcased in a later section.
His past actions as Vade have a history of manipulation, gaslighting, mistreatment of coworkers, as well as flirting with minors as young as 12, as has been reported by both his old friends / coworkers and artists he had worked with.
Vox, alternatively Vade, VadeVA, Vadelith, Vadelyth, Vaderlyth, and Calysto, has previously built a following dubbing Undertale comics and collaborating with Starbot dubs. Starbot dubs was a shared channel with his close friend, but was seen to leave the channel after a series of misconducts he did detailed below.
Some accounts from his past good friends and coworkers discussing his actions:

“He has this whole habit of flirting with girls and artists to get free artwork afterall. I think thats worth people knowing about. I also learned the girls he was flirting with in his discord were 12 and 14. I think that’s a bit of a problem. I can’t really understand if you don’t think that. Some people took issue with me posting the information privately and not confronting him, but what you guys missed was the repeated times I told him he can’t keep doing this stuff. He would make excuses, wouldn’t listen, would gaslight me into thinking there wasn’t a problem.”
“Vade would repeatedly slander me to other people in public discords, and would trash me anywhere he got the opportunity to. He was very bitter about me not allowing him back on the channel, which I suppose I understand, but he quit in the first place so I don’t really know why he couldn’t let it go. After all, he’s doing just fine now. He would tell people that I was a horrible person who oppressed his creativity, and ran the channel like a czar. I dont think that could be further from the truth.”

Post by Starbot dubs debunking a post defending Vox. These posts have been made in 2018, which is when he left the channel.
Here is an email from an old fan describing some of the things going on in the server. Please note that Vox was 18 at the time in 2018, meaning this spanned at least two years, and quite possibly even longer.

Max out of Ten is another old friend of Vox, who discloses that he had initially attempted to defend him, but after he heard his account of the event as well as viewing the screenshots himself, declared that Vox / Vade is a creep and did not want to continue to defend him.

“I knew snips and pieces of the story, but not all of it, I’ve heard HIS side of the story, and barely the side of the people involved cause I don’t know them or I don’t talk to them. Now, with all the evidence presented, I can say that I’m deeply dissapointed, and mad….and also disgusted with some of the stuff shown.”
The video detailing Vox’s actions has been privated since, but this post summarizes its contents:
While this is not as reliable of a source as the previous accounts, Vox has been generally publicly known to mistreat artists he’s worked with, as shown in this comment section:
Lastly, Vox has made a dub of a comic with non-con as its main theme. Said comic is based off a fanfiction that includes tags such as “date rape”, “pedophilia” and “sexual abuse”.

- Connecting the identities:
Please note that Vox Akuma is extremely unlikely to ever acknowledge he is Calysto. However, a lot points to it and it is a fair assumption as of right now to presume they are the same person.
All of Calysto’s streams, videos and social media have been taken down from his channel soon before Vox’s debut. Calysto’s Twitter was only deactivated in December. Vade’s social media (Tumblr, Twitter) has been deleted as well.
Voice comparison:
Here is a clip of Calysto speaking. (backup)
Here is a clip of Vox slipping out of character and speaking more casually.
In case you do not know Vox Akuma and have not listened to the voice comparison, both have a british accent.
Calysto is the same person as Vade, as when you check any video on the Calysto channel, you will see credits back to Vade’s old social media, and the channel used to be named Vade.
Other similarities are an interest in Runescape, Smash, voiceover, and film making, as mentioned here.
Previous fans of Calysto have also been noticing he has perhaps reincarnated as Vox Akuma in Nijisanji. (backup)
