Introduction Video[]
【初配信！】ぴぴーん！はじめまして、小森めとです！【小森めと ブイアパ】
Met's introduction.
Profile[]
A metallic life form living comfortably in space. Thinking that she could live a carefree life, she was suddenly thrown to Earth. Wandering aimlessly on a planet unknown to her, she meets And Uge in front of a convenience store and copied her likeness. She followed the girl to an apartment called VApArt.
Sent from the Universe into the throws of VSPO!. Something of a recluse, she’s developed a first-class aptitude for many FPS games.
Appearance[]
Met has medium length sandy hair and eyes with purple irises. She has a light red triangle mark below each eye.
On her original VApArt design, she wore black and red headphones under a large black hat, with a red band emblazoned with the words "LANDOLT RING" and an orange visor. The hat had futuristic adornments in the shape of animal ears. On her body, she wore a sleeveless, orange one-piece short dress held up by black straps. This is transparent from her midsection to the skirt part, revealing black hot pants as her bottom piece. The orange dress is worn underneath a bright red fabric wrap, emblazoned on the right side with the words "AT ON_E RUSH", and secured by a white belt worn diagonally on her waist, plus adorned by a black ribbon on the chest. Her arms have asymmetrical detached black sleeves, longer on the left but with fingerless black gloves on the right. Her legs has a pair of asymmetrical black, red and white leggings, and a pair of sporty high cut black and red shoes with orange ankle guards.
On her VSPO! redesign, she has a black hat with cat ear shaped adornments and teal inlays, while on her hair she has three triangular hairclips and a blue pendant earring on her right ear. Her headphones, now black and orange, are hanging by her neck. On her body she wears a red, brown and orange jacket that exposes her midriff and lower back, but with baggy long sleeves: red on the left side, brown on the right side and orange on the inside. This is worn over a short black and white top that has a small window on the upper chest. She retains black hot pants (now with a decorative teal line) as her bottom piece, which is secured by a diagonally worn brown belt. On her legs are mismatched clothing: the left leg has a fishnet stocking held up by a black garter, and a low cut sporty shoe on her left foot, while her right foot has a black boot that goes up to her right calf.

Trivia[]
- Met's redesigned model shares the same illustrator Yuuki Hagure with Usada Pekora of hololive, Amanogawa Shiina of Phase-Connect, Tsukiyoi Avi of Varium and Beta AMI of Pixela Project.
- Met has a regular talk show called NichiAsa (ニチアサ), streaming weekly every Sunday at 8am JST.
- She is good friends with And Uge.
- Her chat is known to send the message "I miss you" during streams when someone in chat is misbehaving or when there is a bot. She learned from Huma Wat that a couple saying "I miss you" after being cursed on by the other partner is common in international movies and she wanted the chat to do the same. Komori Met receives the same message from chat when she says something stupid.
- Her mom forbade her from getting a credit card as she sees her not fit to hold one. On March 2021, she applied for a debit card instead and promised that she will join Uruha and Reid's membership the moment she gets a hold of it.[26] Over a year later as of May 4 2022, she finally joined both of their membership.[27]
- When she was still a member of VApArt, she was often mistaken as a member of VSPO! as she had a lot of collabs with them and even hosted many of the company's events.
- She is the second of VSPO!'s VTubers to have joined from outside the company without "reincarnating" (retiring old VTuber identity and redebuting under a new identity.
