Trivia

 * Emuri can play a violin, a piano, and a kazoo. She also has a very beautiful singing voice. She does violin streams (playing mostly videogame/anime OST), karaoke streams, and made several covers, including a kazoo cover of KING as a joke. Additionally, she can draw, and sometimes does drawing streams and art commissions.
 * Emuri’s native language is English, but she is also fluent in Japanese. She always translates anything she says in English to Japanese. She often makes jokes when she struggles with her English, being teased that she needs to do English learning streams.
 * She enjoys Japanese sweets, cats, cute clothes, and cosmetics. She has a very cute overweight ginger cat.
 * Her favorite anime are Fate/Stay Night, Haruhi Suzumiya, Revue Starlight, Penguindrum and Oreimo.
 * Her favorite games are Kirby, Professor Layton, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Bang Dream! and Groove Coaster. Such selection of games is partially due to the fact that Emuri didn't have a good PC before starting her VTuber career. After getting a better PC she stated that she is planning to play a variety of PC games in the future.
 * Emuri is often jokingly referred to as a potato. It has started after she called herself a potato when making questionable in-game decisions during her gaming stream. She also drew herself as a potato wearing headphones during her drawing stream.
 * Emuri is also teasingly called a Grandma (or obaa-chan/obaa-san in a Japanese manner) a lot, partially because of her silver hair. In one of her streams she confirmed that her family members also call her sometimes "a tea grandma".
 * Emuri sometimes tries to eat her chat, usually on request.
 * There is a running joke among her fans about never forgetting Emuri’s 1.0 model, which was very scuffed and capable of doing flips when Emuri was drinking water or playing a violin, forcing her to use a still image of her holding a violin during her performance streams.
 * Emuri streams from her parent's house basement, so she can be as loud as she wants.
 * Emuri is bad at most video games, which becomes a subject of many jokes among the viewers, but she strives to get better and constantly improves.
 * She sometimes plays bishōjo games such as Gal Gun, which at some point made her fear that YT won't approve her membership application, due to her being an eroge streamer.
 * In one of her streams Emuri admitted that her beauty mark, in fact, is a fake.
 * Her signature 1.0 model black midriff top was due to her not liking any of the shirt options and going topless.
 * It has become a tradition for Emuri to celebrate major milestones in her VTuber career by ordering a pizza together with her chat (chat sometimes takes a direct participation in selection of the ingredients). Most of the times it ends really badly, with pizza having a weird toppings combination, pineapples being one of them each time.
 * Emuri claims her large growth is due to consuming her 1.0 model for nutrients.
