As a streamer
Nanami enjoys playing video games for a long time. At time this develops into late night endurance streams that test his fans' ability to stay up late (alternatively, allowing fans from other time zones to watch at convenient times). Her favorite game for a long while was Apex Legend. But she has also branched out into many different games, including AAA games like Dark Soul series, Death Stranding, etc.

Nanami doesn't handle stress very well, and can show a side of vulnerability when things are out of control.

Nanami is famous for her streams that start at typically 9 PM and sometimes continue up to the 4 or 5 AM next day. When she finishes a stream, there is a ritual that she performs, which is to say ”Good Night“ directly to a sample of viewers. This often becomes a fierce competition.
