 * Kei once ordered a pizza to Haru's house without permission after Haru replied to Genzuki's tweet saying he wanted to have another pizza party. As a result, the three of them gathered at Haru's house to have a pizza party and an impromptu stream where they sang and ate.
 * He shares the same character designer with Kuzuha of Nijisanji, Chiharu of VirtuaReal, and Yogiri of hololive China.
 * Like his debut-mates, he likes to sing and does off-collab singing streams with VΔLZ, sometimes performing with the cajon. (he's currently learning bass)
 * Kei is well-known as a "忖度師" (sontaku master, someone who performs unspoken orders for others) by Livers and fans around, stemming mostly from his collabs with Fumi and his dedication to satisfy her mood and requests, as well as his peers. Examples are:
 * Memorizing the 'Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes' manual in two days in preparation for his collab with Fumi.
 * Writing a kKusomaro anonymously to Fumi because she hadn't been getting any and wanted some, only to be later caught by her. Said kusomaro later ended up being turned into his first original song.
 * Learning morse code as part of his punishment from Tsukiichi. He put his morse code skills up to the test in this Fukeizai collab.
 * He hit 100k subscribers in the stream where he was trying to learn morse code. The title of this stream specifically stated that he didn't want to hit 100k while learning morse code. He told his listeners to forget about it and pretend he got 100k subscribers during the NijiMen singing relay later that night as he finds it much cooler over the morse code stream.

 * When Haru played Minecraft after the completion of the mountain, he had difficulty finding his home as the mountain blended in with the rest of the scenery. He now resides inside the mountain.
 * Kei spent a total of 39 hours in 5 days challenging himself to speed run Pokemon Sapphire while memorizing a speed run guide. With the help of two skilled speedrunners coaching him and luck from Tojiro, he managed to beat his own record with the fastest time of 2h 27m 22s.
 * Kei usually tweets his stream schedule for the next day the night before and then reconfirms his schedule when he wakes up.
