Kota Kotonya

Kota Kotonya is a male independent English VTuber. He is a crossdressing airsoft captain who makes a variety of gaming and casual content on Twitch.

Profile
A fearsome airsoft captain who hates losing and loves crossdressing. He resembles a cat in many ways.

Personality
Kota is known for his feminine voice, contagious laugh and eccentric nature. However, he is shown to be quite vulgar at times by cursing and making bizarre remarks. Despite this, Kota is shown to have a sense of maturity and is an active advocate for mental health.

While he is an airsoft captain, Kota is surprisingly bad at games that require aim. When put in a situation where aim is required, he often gets flustered and ends up missing all shots.

Appearance
Kota has chin-length white hair with black highlights. His hair is half-tied up with coral pink ribbons in pigtails. His eyes are both cyan.

His main outfit consists of a black sleeveless bodysuit with a white cropped shirt over top. He wears a coral pink skort (mixture of shorts and a skirt) with a black belt loosely looped on the right side. Over top of that, Kota wears an oversized black jacket with white decals and coral pink paw prints on the sleeves which cover his hands. Pinned to the jacket is a white and coral tail accessory. He wears white knee-high socks and black tall boots with cyan laces. This cyan color is seen throughout his outfit in pins on his jacket and bodysuit, as well as the stiches on his shirt. Additional accessories include a coral pink bandana around his neck, a matching coral pink ribbon on his cropped shirt, and a black garter with a pocket attached on his left thigh.

Background
Kota used to be a cow/cat hybrid VTuber before rebranding to his current design.

 * In addition to his general fanbase name, he calls his Twitch subscribers "Teammates".

Trivia

 * Kota is not a cat at all. His fans were shocked by this announcement and thought that the cat tail clip on his jacket was an actual cat tail.
 * His high-pitched "girly" voice is not his normal speaking voice. He can be heard speaking in a lower tone in times of seriousness.
 * He compares his higher-pitched voice to being a "customer service voice" that he does unknowingly.
 * He works as a graphic designer in the VTubing community. He has worked for some notable clients such as Nijisanji EN's Luca Kaneshiro.
 * Kota is shown to be quite skilled at rhythm games. His first rhythm game was Guitar Hero 3 on the PlayStation 2 and he has been hooked ever since.
 * His Myers–Briggs Personality Type is ENTP.
 * ENTPs are known for being outwardly chaotic due to their extroverted nature. This combined with the stereotypical extroverted traits of a Gemini may seem like a disaster. This sparked the quote "Can't help being an ENTP and a Gemini," which he uses often to excuse his eccentric actions.
