Futakuchi Mana

Futakuchi Mana (二口魔菜) is a futakuchi-onna (二口女, lit. "two-mouthed woman") Virtual Singer.

Appearance
Mana wears a black button-down sleeveless shirt with a white laced, gothic-styled collar. Her corset is wrapped by a red obi-jime, which signifies mourning. Her sleeves are adorned with an elaborate red spider lily (彼岸花, higan bana) pattern. She has black hair with red streaks styled in a traditional hime cut. Despite calling herself a futakuchi-onna, Mana appears entirely normal; her second mouth has so far only appeared in fan depictions. It has been confirmed that the mouth makes up the back of her head and hair.

Personality
Mana's official profession is Best Head Torturer of Hell, which she fulfills besides being a VSinger. She once stated that she works as a Head Torturer by day and a mumble rapper at night. She often posts raw vocal practice sessions on her official YouTube channel apart from karaoke streams, watch-alongs, song covers, memes and video shitposts. She is very honest with her opinions and is strict when enforcing rules in her community, but is not short of cracking jokes and appreciating the presence and effort of fans.

Mana had always stated that the support she had recieved as a VSinger and content creator had been overwhelming from the time she debuted. To her, being a VSinger is a hobby and release from the grind as Head Torturer. Despite her busy schedule, she makes it a point to check in on her fans, the Imps, and share stories and experiences with them.

Fans

 * Mana's fans/supporters are called Imps. She preferred this over calling those who watch and support her 'simps'.

Trivia

 * Mana is a yokai - specifically, a futakuchi-onna. These yokai tend to have a second mouth on the back of her head.
 * Mana despises headpats. This was initially introduced in the short Headpats? and confirmed in her debut streams. During the post-premiere stream for her KING cover, she introduced a jar where the animated hand associated with the headpats meme was contained. As an alternative, "she accepts headbangs."
 * Both Mana and her second mouth are vegan. Because of the difficulty in obtaining quality vegan cuisine in Japan, she largely prepares her own food, including the individual ingredients. She included a recipe for cashew cheddar cheese on one of her short videos.
 * Mana exercises regularly. Her training regimen consists of powerlifting and muay thai.
 * She also made a workout routine for Imps to follow, usually based upon how often she swears.
 * On October 10th 2021, Mana opened up a waiting room for an event called Impz Got Talent and had her community join her on stream. This consisted of her fans singing for her in a reverse karaoke session, as opposed to her singing for them. Due to the popularity among the community, she created a sequel stream on November 20th, one month later. A third one has been scheduled for 19 March.
 * Mana gives out invites to her official Discord server during her streams and revokes the invites once the streams end.
 * Mana sternly believes in the saying, "You can never escape the Imps."
 * Mana has once told her Imps to get girlfriends so that she could steal all of them for herself. If you give your girlfriend to Mana as an offering, you will receive two in return.
