Introduction Video
Tama's introduction.

Personality
Tama is a demure, air-headed high school girl who goes about life at her own pace. She was nominated as the president of the student council even though she never announced her candidacy. She is also the leader of the mahjong club which is both her hobby and special skill. She tends to space out in the morning but the genius-like part of her comes out in the afternoon.

Background
Her YouTube channel was created on 26 April 2018 while her debut on YouTube was made a day later on 27 April, she opened her Twitter account on May.

On 7 September of the same year, she debuted her new 3D model with an updated design.

Departure from .LIVE and retirement
Due to conflicts related with the prioritization of her first live event with .LIVE management, Tama started to tweet about the situation on 6 October 2019. Eventually the situation escalated and also involved fellow Vtuber Nekonoki Mochi.

Her last tweet was on 7 October 2019 (which is also her last tweet ever). Eventually, in several sites related to fad, rumors about the situation started to circulate about what really happened. It was until December 2019 that .LIVE finally released a succinct statement that did not explained what happened and only confirmed Tama and Mochi's retirement from the club. The statement also urged fans to not to believe nor spread any of the rumors.
