 * Shows extremely high learning abilities; got up to 3000+ scores within one week after purchasing Mario Kart 8 switch edition. (Without prior experience to similar games)

 * Since her technical skills, video editing, singing, dancing, drawing, gaming skills, etc are all top-tier, and has been nicknamed by Chinese fans as hexagon warrior, meaning she excels in all six aspects in a chart. (Does not have any weaknesses)
 * She wants to become an idol that can face herself without shame. Also "wants everyone to love the authentic her". Considers Maekawa Miku (a cat ear female idol in the game The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls Starlight Stage) to be idealistic.
 * "Will you engage in a romance?""No can do, Hololive forbids it.""Will you make a photo-book with photos of you wearing swimsuit?""No can do, Hololive forbids it."

INNK is a little bit...

 * Is nicknamed "blue-haired female passerby" or "blue-haired onee-chan (elder sister)" by Chinese fans due to her low exposure rate, low video counts (she is still a college student) and relatively few collaboration videos with other Hololive members.
 * Becomes famous after Shirakami Fubuki said to her "INNK is a little bit...(not close to me)" and is used by some fans wrongly as evidence that Suisei has been intentionally ostracized by other Hololive VTubers. Instead, it was because Suisei took the role of the killer in Project Winter, and when she saw Fubuki running away from her after her identity was exposed, Suisei asked "Why are you running away from me? Aren't we best friends?" Fubuki replied by saying "INNK is a little bit..." to distance herself from Suisei. It is currently a meme that can be used by adding any adjective behind the ellipsis, i.e. "INNK is a little bit...cute""INNK is a little bit...strong" etc.
 * This meme is no longer valid after Hoshimachi Suisei completes her change in affiliation to hololive.

Favorite things

 * Favorite food is fisheye and the skin of salmon teriyaki.
 * Favorite VTubers are Kaguya Luna and Kenmochi Touya, likes adolescents (male).
 * Favorite character is Sakuma Ritsu in Ensemble Stars!.
 * Favorite (and preferable) character imitations include Koizumi Hanayo from LoveLive!, Takatsuki Yayoi from The Idolmasterand Falala•A•Larm from Idol Time PriPara.
 * She was not persuaded by Hololive to join; instead, she took part in Hololive's candidate selection but was not chosen during the selection. Under this circumstance, Suisei did not give up and sent another letter asking for another chance to meet with the producers. When she thought it was another failure after one week without a reply from Hololive, she received an email telling her to "meet again". Originally Suisei thought she was going to be rejected again, but instead was told that hololive has a plan for making a branch solely for music. Finally joined Hololive by joining INNK music.

Sister Sei

 * Suisei has a biological sister who is not a VTuber, but her voice can sometimes be heard during livestreams, making the streams more chaotic and fun to watch.
 * She can sometimes be heard singing alongside Suisei, as well as other interactions.
 * Since Suisei also cooks dinner for her family, so one can sometimes hear Sister Sei groaning and asking for dinner to be served.
 * Fans may comment "Sister Sei has died waiting for dinner""Sister Sei is going to miss her dinner again" whenever Suisei streams "overtime".
