General

 * Color: #765BB8
 * According to himself, he has poor quality sleep time.
 * He is a Masochist.
 * He is known to casually insert 90's pop culture reference within his conversation. For example Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, My Chemical Romance, MySpace, etc. Because of that people start calling him a "boomer".
 * One of his phrase, "keikaku doori" meaning "just as planned" or "just according to plan", is a quote from a fansub of the 24th episode of the Japanese anime series Death Note, during the scene where the main character utters the memorable catchphrase “just as planned”.
 * He loves to make dad jokes.
 * He's good at voice acting, a skill he uses often when voicing NPC characters in his Dungeons & Dragons games.

 * The winners of the 'BFF Showdown' were Azura Cecilia and Miyu Ottavia, who made him do an e-girl stream. This is how he created the character "Echa Violette"
 * The 'Biggest SIMP Showdown' had a twist where all questions were about himself. Every player ended with only 1 point, so as a penalty they all had to start their streams with his intro ("Hi! Udah mau tidur ya?") for the next 3 days. This can be seen when they later played Goose Goose Duck.

 * He hates his day job, but still often has to work a night-shift. He uses the pay to fund his vtuber related projects.
 * His real job sometimes requires him to save people from dying, so he views his vtubing career as less important in comparison.
