Trivia

 * Oga shares his character designer, HoeL, with Shu Yamino and Mysta Rias of NIJISANJI EN, Xander Fangsworth and Rui Eventide of RealCorpTV, Heine Ulmaria of I-STREAM, and independent Vtubers Whale Taylor and Kano Seiga.
 * In the first TriNero collab, Oga said that since he was new to streaming, he wasn't sure if it was okay to use assets he didn't own. So he drew his streaming background, the pixel art in the intro of his debut stream, and even the drinks shown in the collab stream.
 * Unknowingly to Oga, the majority of his streams were held in 720p with 30FPS instead of 1080p with 60FPS which is the standard for streamers. During a gameplay stream on 27 February 2022 of Vampire Survivors which messes with the resolution of a stream usually, he remarked to change the resolution from 1080p if necessary. He was then promptly told by several viewers that it's not an option he provides for his streams, which is when he finally realized that he had been streaming in lower quality all the time.
 * As he was voicing his shock over this on Twitter, it became clear that his fanbase as well as his colleagues were aware of this but had assumed on their own that it was due to Oga's setup not being capable of streaming at 1080p/60FPS. (This impression was furthermore cemented by any 3D streams he held in Cover's studios being unaffected.)
 * After Miyabi taught him how to use the right settings, Oga held a membership stream on 1 March 2022 to test them. It was followed up by a public stream on 2 March 2022.
 * He drew Ayunda Risu and Kageyama Shien's mascots, as well as his own. His YouTube membership's loyalty badges and emotes are also drawn by himself.
 * Oga's gift to Shien's 25th birthday was an animated Nekoyama, which Shien presented on his stream.
 * He shares his birthday with hololive ID member Ayunda Risu.
 * In 2021, they both released two duets of "DADDY! DADDY! DO!" on their channels, each featuring themselves as the main vocals for the song and the other as backing vocalist.
 * He suffers from motion sickness, triggered by rapid camera movements such as the ones in first person shooters and similar games, thus he avoids playing them.
 * His alcohol tolerance is very low. This was more noticeable on his first anniversary stream where he got tipsy after a single can of Horoyoi, a drink with only 3% alcohol.
 * At 192 cm (6'4") in height, Oga is the tallest hololive Production member.
 * He is left handed.
 * He's very knowledgeable about gunpla and is an avid collector as well. A few of his talk streams involve building gunpla kits either normally or in an ASMR fashion. For his 100,000 subscribers watchover stream, he assembled an MG Deep Striker kit he received for his birthday, which took him about six and a half hours to complete.
 * Oga has shown to have some game development knowledge, more specifically with the RPG Maker engine. The intro video on his debut stream was animated using said game engine. On 21 May 2021 he revealed he's been working on an RPG horror game, with some of its assets drawn by himself.
