Fans, Greetings, and Mascot[]

  • Kei's fans are called "16KBG" (ケイボーイ&ガール, Kei's boys and girls).
  • Greetings:
    • Waiting room: "taiki" (​待機).
    • Opening: "kon-mabushi~" (こんまぶし〜)
    • Ending: "otsu-mabushi~" (おつまぶし~).
  • Muu-chan (むーちゃん) is a shikigami (god in the form of a small ghost) that serves as somewhat of a mascot to Kei. Muu-chan's appearance resembles a cat with white fur. It has scratches on its right cheek and is depicted holding a staff and a book. In streams, Muu-chan is represented by a portrait that Kei drew.
    • Muu-chan's gender and age are unknown.
    • Muu-chan's birthday is on June 6th.
    • Apparently Muu-chan has blue eyes.
    • Muu-chan can walk on both two legs and four legs. It can also levitate.
    • Tojiro drew the Muu-chan badge for Kei's YouTube membership.

Relationships[]

Trivia[]

  • Color: #625DA1 [35]
  • He shares the same character designer with Kuzuha from NIJISANJI, Chiharu from VirtuaReal, Yogiri from hololive China and Tsunemori Batla of Nextopia.
  • Kei's voice has been noted to resemble fellow NIJISANJI member Ibrahim, so much so that he even had a collaboration stream with Melissa Kinrenka where he impersonated Ibrahim in an attempt to prank Furen E Lustario.[36]
  • Kei once ordered a pizza to Haru's house without permission after Haru replied to Tojiro'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.
  • Like his debut-mates, he likes to sing and does off-collab singing streams with VΔLZ, sometimes performing with the cajon (he's also currently learning the 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 Kusomaro 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.
  • Kei has taken the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) before and scored an 850 (the average score is around 500), but said he hasn't used his skills for a while and thinks it has dropped to 600. Additionally, on the Eiken Test in Practical English Proficiency, he achieved Grade 2.
    • Kei has done a homestay in Canada when he was in high school, and he stayed with a Korean-Canadian immigrant family who had a son who was born in Canada.
    • He has also studied Portuguese before.
  • Kei has an older sister, who he lives with, and a younger brother, making him a middle child. He has mentioned his sister being friendly terms with Tojiro, and that her favourite liver is Gwelu Os Gar.
    • Kei occasionally shares anecdotes about conversations he has with his sister on Twitter and often mentions her on stream.
    • Kei sang "A Whole New World" with his sister in this singing stream.
  • Kei spent 9 hours building a literal mountain around Haru's home in Minecraft in retaliation for a prank Haru played against him, with the help of Tojiro who helped out for the first 3 hours.[37]
    • 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 Pokémon 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.
    • He is prone to oversleeping, so his noon streams are sometimes delayed by 30 minutes.
  • Kei has a poor sense of direction. When he gets lost in Minecraft, he asks his viewers to help him get where he wants to go.
  • Kei is a dual wielder. His katanas are named "Ouka Suijin" (桜華水刃), and are passed down in his family. They can be seen attached to his right leg by a thigh holster. After being asked about the inconvenience of this placement, he said they're attached there "because it's cool" and that he doesn't need to unsheathe his katanas because he can summon them instantly through magic, similar to how the Keyblade is summoned in Kingdom Hearts.
  • He has a lot of life experience, including doing: swimming, tennis, band, dancing (jazz, ballet), co-ed cheerleading, being a suit actor for hero shows, riding a moped, using long spears and ninja stars, etc.
  • Kei likes cats a lot, especially black cats.
