Introduction Video
Mio's introduction.

Personality
Mio is frequently described by fans and other hololivers as being mature, responsible and level-headed when compared to her peers. In the holo no graffiti animated shorts Mio is frequently seen playing the part of the "straight-man", reacting comparatively like a real person would to her coworkers' absurd shenanigans or the onset of surreal situations. Mio is also regarded as being exceptionally kind, even among the already enormously friendly hololive staff, with both fans and peers frequently seeking her personal advice. This friendly and wise persona has earned her the popular nickname "Mio-mama".

Despite these traits, however Mio is frequently touted as one of the biggest scaredy-cats in hololive. Mio is one of most susceptible members to the scares in Horror games. This as well is supported by the holo no graffiti animated shorts, with Mio being extremely easily frightened by ghost-stories, being completely unwilling to remain alone in the dark and becoming almost catatonic when scared.

She has stated that she sometimes has to suppress her more wild, wolf-like instincts and compulsions. These compulsions have included things like outright eating her coworkers Tsunomaki Watame (a sheep-girl) and Nekomata Okayu (a cat-girl).

She is also recognized as a talented singer as Shirogane Noel's singing-coach (who Noel describes as particularly harsh and difficult to impress), upon hearing Mio singing during the Toyosu PIT live-event, remarked that she was exceptionally gifted.

Trivia

 * Her long hair is often mistaken as her tail, when her real tail is wrapped around one of her legs. She has said before that the reason for this is because her tail is too sensitive.
 * Her visual-design has been noted as heavily resembling that of Ryuko Matoi from Studio Trigger's 2013 anime Kill la Kill. Ryuko has black hair with a distinctive red stripe on her right-side bangs, which Mio also has with increased length. The color-scheme of Mio's clothing with the the dominant use of black and red also matches that of Ryuko's school uniform. The orange hair-clip with the white cross through it that she wears on her right-side bangs resembles the distinctive single eyeball of Senketsu; the talking, sentient piece of clothing that bonds with and fights alongside Ryuko in the series.
 * Mio is a self-professed practitioner and advocate of the "No Panties Healthy Lifestyle". This practice consists of not wearing underwear while sleeping, which supposedly grants health benefits such as improved blood-flow throughout the lower body. Mio states this wisdom was passed down to her from her grandmother.
 * Mio owns a cat named Taiga ("Tiger") that is notably uncooperative and rambunctious, requiring Mio to chase and fight with her in order to do things like properly groom her fur. A picture of Taiga appears on Mio's usual stand-by screen.
 * Following the debut of hololive's fourth generation, she stated that one of her New Year's Resolutions for 2020 would be that she promised to control her natural impulses and "not eat" Watame. Watame was in the chat at the time, with Mio suggesting that she shower prior to the two meeting in order to suppress the smell of "wild sheep" and thusly reduce her temptation. Watame responded by posting emoticons to illustrate herself running away.
 * Mio is currently the only member of hololive who has been able to manifest the power of a Stand.
