Fans

 * Her fanbase is officially called "Squad Rose" in English while it is called "Rose-tai" (ロゼ隊) in Japanese.

Trivia

 * Aki is unique among the Japanese branch of hololive as being the only polynymous member whose full name is not formatted in the typical Japanese-style (i.e. Last Name followed by First Name) but instead the typical Western-style. Likewise her surname of "Rosenthal" is also unique among the Japanese branch of hololive due to being the only last name of Western origin (specifically German).
 * As demonstrated in several episodes of holo no graffiti, Aki's floating pigtails are detachable, capable of being "worn" by other hololive members, and are apparently even sentient and capable of talking, moving and flying on their own.
 * In one of the most bizarre elements of hololive lore, Aki is apparently capable of spontaneously producing a wide variety of different objects and materials from between her thighs. In an episode of holo no graffiti Aki involuntarily produced a vast amount of poisonous liquid from between her thighs causing the flooding of the entire office. In another episode Aki was able to will herself into "giving birth" to Oozora Subaru from between her thighs after Subaru had been magically eliminated from the universe. The exact nature of this strange ability and why Aki has it are unclear. Other hololive members have alluded to the fact that it is somehow related to Aki's identity as "an elf from another dimension", but they have never specified as to what this means and why it would dictate Aki having this specific ability.
