Introduction Video

Sora's introduction.

Personality

Tokino Sora was born on 15 May 2000 in Tokyo. She is an easy-going, happy and comforting person whose personality has led many fans to call her “Tokino Sora Mama” (ときのそらママ) because of her motherly attitude. Within hololive, she is the member who most closely fits the image of a "proper" idol, since most of the other members have become infamous for causing mayhem and goofing off.

Sora loves horror games and she does not get scared by them. She also loves Rhythm games and live streaming for her fans. She is not very good at rote learning and Oogiri (a game consisted of giving funny answers to several themes).

Because of her musical and dancing talent, she has published several covers, including collaborations with fellow VTubers and even the release of a debut album with a major record label. She dreams of holding a concert at Yokohama Arena.

A-Chan and Ankimo

Sora is aided on her videos by her two friends A-chan and Ankimo.

Yuujin A (友人A, Friend A) better known as A-chan (えーちゃん) is the person in charge of the technical aspects of Sora's live streams. She was originally spoken about or featured in a few videos but only illustrated as a roughly-drawn woman's face with glasses and a hair tie. In July 2018 she received a full design, and in November 2018 A-chan started her own Twitter account.
Ankimo (あん肝) is walking Teddy bear who accompanies her and mimic her movements during her livestreams. He is frequently depicted as being buried to the fact that, due to technical difficulties made him to clip into the ground and he looks like he was buried on the floor.
