Uto's YouTube channel continued to grow in 2021, reaching 300,000 subscribers on 5 January.
After 9 January, Uto ceased streaming for several weeks. On 17 Feburary, she revealed the reason as trouble with an agency, including meta-tagging streams with the names of unrelated VTubers and pursuing contracts without her consent. Uto announced her intent to return as an independent VTuber.[5] The same day, she uploaded a song cover of KING by Kanaria to YouTube. She returned to streaming on 20 February.
On 3 March, she reached 400,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.[6]

The second version, referred to as "Nyamatsuka", features pigtails, fingerless gloves, cat ears, a cat tail, a rifle resembling an AR-15 or M4 Carbine with a blue finish, and a rifle case slung behind her back.
On 10 October, Uto announced on Twitter that she would receive her 3D model on 14 October, also her birthday celebration.[9] Said stream was an hour-long performance that would conclude with the announcement of her first album, Utopia, that was being produced by Pony Canyon.
On 6 December, Uto reached 600,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.[10]
2022[]
From March to July of 2022, Uto had taken an extended hiatus. Though she did not explain much about the cause of it, she did mention that she was taking a voice acting role. When she came back in July, she expressed her interest in focusing more on her Twitch account.
On 2 August, Sekashiba anime's Twitter account announced that Uto would have a speaking role in the anime adaptation of Sekai no Owari ni Shiba Inu to as guest in episode 46.[11]
2023[]
On 6 April, Uto made a tweet announcing that she would be indefinitely suspending her activities on 30 April.[12] Much of her content would be set to private, with memberships ending on that same day. She would later make a statement that this was not a retirement, but more of an indefinite hiatus in order to focus on personal affairs.

Fans[]
- Uto's fans are called "Tenshimps". This is a portmanteau of the words "tenshi" and "simps".
- Her YouTube channel membership is called うとふぁんくらぶ which translates to "Uto fanclub".
Trivia[]
- The name Amatsuka is written with the kanji 「天使」, usually read as "tenshi", which means "angel".
- Her name Uto is written in hiragana, 「うと」.
- In a kanji drawing stream, she also wrote her first name with the kanji 「兎跳」, meaning "rabbit jump".[16] However, this is an uncommon reading, and she usually writes it in hiragana.
- Uto's illustrator, Nabi, is also the illustrator of hololive EN's Watson Amelia. Uto has described herself as Ame's sister, as they share the same "mama."[17] However, Uto has a different modeler, Takeshita Fungi, whereas Amelia's "papa" is Naname. Fans have drawn art depicting them as siblings. Ame however does not reciprocate this, considering Uto a cousin at best.[18] However, this answer was Ame playing safe as she was pretty new in hololive and didn't want the fans creating lore that doesn't involve her coworkers.
- She enjoys video games and singing. She likes melon soda, mochi, and Hi-Chew.
- One of her goals is to learn English.[19]
- She likes to watch hololive. Her favorite hololive members include Usada Pekora, Watson Amelia, Gawr Gura, and Uruha Rushia.[17]
- She tends to say "GG Men" whenever she finishes a game.
- On her second Getting Over It stream, Uto started calling herself Blue Pumpkin and Aoi Kabocha after suffering sanity damage.
- She loves shotguns.
- She doesn't like her ahoge getting flicked.
- She used to enable a custom URL for her YouTube channel, but she discarded it at some point in 2021 for unknown reasons.
- As of 17 March 2022, Uto has started taking care of a ragdoll cat named Ui-chan.
