Iroha's introduction.

Personality
Kongou Iroha is a cheerful, energetic and tomboyish shrine maiden of the Idol Club. She is perceived to be as a beautiful girl but with a careless and frank personality. She is impulsive and cannot think carefully and she is terrible with puzzle games. At one point, she scolded her fans for distracting her, saying to them "Don't annoy me" (俺をあまりイライラさせるなよ in Japanese), a line commonly associated with Vegeta in Japanese dub of Dragonball Z, which made fans told her that she's similar to Vegeta. In turn, Iroha started calling her fans Vegeta for a short time.

She gained notoriety for playing cheap, bad, 500-yen-or-less games from Steam, hence gaining reputation as "Shrine Maiden of Bad Games" (くそ下巫女). This reputation is mentioned by Ushimaki Riko in this video. She's particularly decent in FPS/TPS games such as PUBG, Splatoon and Overwatch.

Most fans and members of Idol Club call her "Gongon" because she made a mistake when introducing herself in twitter. Instead of writing her name "Kongou Iroha", she wrote "Gongon Iroha", replacing "u" or う with "n" or "ん".

She has a characteristically unique laugh that fans associated with chicken, a witch, rubbing fingers on a glass pane, or a South American monkey. Her symbol was even change into 🐔 by fans but was later corrected back to 💎 when it was officially recognized. She later tried to change the way she laughs after getting her 3D model but seems to slip into her old laugh.

She's a member of the brass band club, and a member of the Health committee in Baacharu Academy. She ranked 11th in the School Knowledge Test which is 2nd to the lowest. She is a member of unofficial group "Team Hoose" whose members - Mokota Mememe and Yamato Iori - also scored very low in the test.

She often imitate Mememe's voice in her videos to make fun of her.

She is knowledgeable about Japanese urban subculture, B-rated movies, and novels.
