Trivia[]

Identity[]

  • Color: #FF3652[3]
  • She can speak fluent Japanese, Korean and broken English.
  • Tsuna is sometimes mistakenly considered to be a cat girl due to her cat motif, but she is human. In fact, she pointed out during her debut that there are only humans in VSPO!.[3][30]
    • Her later costumes do have a feature to toggle cat ears, but this is a model feature for specific outfits shared by other VSPO! VTubers (e.g. the Kaga sisters, Shinomiya Runa) who don't even have a cat motif like Tsuna does.
    • She is also not a tuna despite the similarity of "Tsuna" and "Tuna" (the word tuna, derived using Nihon-shiki/Kunrei romanization from つな or ツナ is also pronounced "tsuna" in Japanese), and says she prefers salmon when it comes to fish.[3]
  • She is VSPO!'s meowing (にゃんにゃん, nyannyan?) representative/person-in-charge (according to Yumeno Akari).

Games[]

  • Tsuna's main eSport/competitive game is Apex Legends. Despite this, she is well-rounded and highly ranked in many games.
  • Overwatch was her first FPS.
  • She has strong FPS skills, but she also has a tendency to let her guard down and make overconfident plays when gaming casually, denoted by the JP slang word "haguki" (歯茎, lit. gums) for that situation, thus earning her the nickname "Haguki Queen" due to this.

Apex Legends[]

  • Her highest rank is Master (Apex Season 15, S17, and S23).
  • She is considered one of the strongest Apex players in VSPO! due to her ability to easily keep up with the professional Apex players from Crazy Raccoon who are often her teammates in tournaments.

VALORANT[]

  • Her highest rank is Immortal 2 (Season 2025).

Overwatch 2[]

  • Her highest rank is Diamond 5.

Street Fighter 6[]

  • Her highest rank is DIAMOND 1 (as an M. Bison main).

Miscellaneous[]

  • She lived in South Korea,[31][32] a fact that she didn't include during debut, but she has also stated that she is fine with saying it, and has done so after being asked by both viewers and collab partners. She has since moved to Japan.
  • On 24 November 2025, after VSPO! FES 2025, Tsuna quoted Yumeno Akari's tweet about her hugging a certain VSPO! member (Akarin is a notoriously elusive member in VSPO!, who for years has never even been seen in person by any other member except Komori Met), and strongly implied that it was Tsuna who she hugged.[33] Tsuna later talked about the experience in more detail, confirming that it was indeed her.[34]
  • She shares her character designer Izumi Sai with many other VTubers including Ookami Mio from hololive, Nishizono Chigusa from NIJISANJI, HACHI from LIVE UNION, Towa Kiseki from Pictoria, and the independent VTuber Maaru Witch.

Live chat etiquette[]

  • Common VTuber chat etiquette is summarised here: "Vtuber Chat Etiquette"
  • Please don't mention the names of other streamers not involved in the stream (exception if Tsuna talks about them first).
  • Please don't mention her or her collab partners' names in unrelated streams of other people.
  • Please don't spam comments.
  • Please avoid inappropriate remarks, expressions or words that are offensive to public order and morals.
  • Do not be "carrier pigeons" (viewers who bring messages and comments from other streams).
  • Do not "stream snipe" (deliberately joining her games while watching her stream to gain an unfair advantage).
