Trivia

 * Color: #9D3757
 * Her stream greeting is "Maido~" (Welcome~) (まいど～) upon starting and "Otsutoko" (おつとこ) upon finishing. During Lize's first stream, Lize said both she and Ange are very fond of Toko that everytime Toko said anything they said "Inui dondon suki ni naru" (戌亥どんどんすきになる) which roughly translates to "liking Inui more and more." The phrase turns into a hashtag and is a popular phrase for Toko, often used on her stream's waiting chat.
 * Toko has no fanname for her fans and refer to her fan as "Minna" （みんな）which basically means "everyone."
 * She wears her Japanese waitress outfit because it is the hobby of the owner of the shop she works at. In an interview with Cho-animedia, Toko said she likes it and is not pressured to wear it at all.
 * The two dog-like hair accessories she has are named Ban and Ken. Both can talk.
 * She is paired with Lize Helesta and Ange Katrina who formed Sanbaka. The name Sanbaka is written in hiragana さんばか. Although it translates to "3 idiots" or "3 stooges," it does not refer to 3 Idiots and is an abbreviation of "Sanba Carnival." This name originates from a relay project for their debut streams which was making a song by only their voices. The same song was then reused during the three's 2.0 update relay stream to make a parody of Exile's Choochoo Train movement. The resulting video was titled gomi_douga.mp4 (which means trash_video.mp4). The three also attempted to reenact the Choochoo Train dance along with the gomi song in their 3D form during Sanbaka Debut 1st Anniversary. The title of Sanbaka song for Smash the Paint!! Album is 3倍! Sun Shine! カーニバル! (3 fold! Sun Shine! Carnival!), a reference to their group name Sanba Carnival.
 * Toko has several unit with other Vlivers. She forms AnDeToko with Ange Katrina and Debidebi Debiru and AHO with Otogibara Era and Saegusa Akina. She also forms Oniberos with Nakiri Ayame of hololive.
 * Toko is an avid Ensemble Stars fan and is a part of VEnStars Club, a cross-agency Ensemble Stars fanclub, together with Hoshimachi Suisei of hololive and Minamori Hero of Entum. Toko's oshi from Ensemble Stars is Isara Mao.
 * Her voice, especially after waking up, can get very low that it is hard to discern her voice and Ange's, especially during their waking up stream. Their voices can get very similar that Lize gets confused (and strangely grateful) when all three Sanbaka talked on the phone.
 * Her streams are usually laid back and relaxing, centering mostly on free talk and Marshmallow Q&A. She often stream Minecraft fishing late at night while leisurely answering marshmallows and comments.
 * She has an older sister she called "Aneberos." She said they have similar voice and used to share the same bedroom in the past.
