His main instrument of choice is the piano, but he can play a multitude of other instruments.

He is loud and hyper a lot of the time, often screaming and making loud and funny noises as well as nonsensical, brain dead remarks.

 * Tojiro has a very wide vocal range and is easily able to switch from a high-pitch to a low-pitch voice. He has used this to his advantage to make impressions of other livers such as Emma August . In contrast, he is also able to lower his voice into impressive impressions of Hanabatake Chaika and Belmond Banderas . He has also put up short covers on Twitter of him singing in very convincing female voices, such as "Fansa" and "Wah Wah World", and has even done entire streams in falsetto/high-pitched voices.
 * When asked about his gender, Tojiro has answered that "Genzuki is Genzuki". He has explained that he is not a man or a woman, and then at later dates he has called himself a man . On the Japanese wiki, his gender is listed as "Genzuki". He seems to be okay with masculine-gendered language in reference to himself, for example the kanji in his name "郎" meaning "son", referring to himself with "boku", (masculine first person pronoun), and being referred to with "-kun" (masculine honorific) by colleagues. Therefore "he/him" and "they/them" are most likely both fine ways to address him.

 * While many VTubers alert their fans of upcoming streams a day or so in advance, Tojiro often informs his fans less than an hour away from when the stream starts, usually giving a only few minutes notice. A way to tell if he will be streaming soon is if he retweets fan art. This usually means that he will be using the art in a thumbnail and will be streaming soon.
