Towa's introduction. |
Personality
Despite being a Devil, Towa is a sweet, kind-hearted, down to earth girl, which has caused many of her fans to insist that she is an Angel instead. Towa usually gets annoyed by this and insists she is a Devil and does not like angels. She doesn't truly mean it as she likes Kanata. Her streams are usually wholesome and relaxing. She really enjoys herself while streaming and often get hyped when playing FPSs, but she might rage if she dies in said games. She also doesn't like horror games as she gets scared fairly easy.
Towa also likes singing and she is well known for her powerful vocal range.
She greets her viewers with "Ohayappi" (おはやっぴー) or "Konyappi" (こんやっぴー) and she says goodbye with "Otsuyappi" (おつやっぴー).
Profile
In order to become an archdemon, she joined the human society for further studies.

Mascot and Fans
- She claims her hat is a pet guardian named Bibi which watches over her in the human world.[24][25][26]
- Her fanbase is officially called "Kin of Tokoyami" while in Japanese they are called " Tokoyami Kenzoku"「常闇眷属」but Towa calls her fans just Kenzoku or Kin.
Trivia
- She pronounces "Thank you" as "TenQ" in English, the final portion of her streams where she reads Super Chat donations is known as "TenQ TIME" (てんQ TIME).[27]
- She likes to say the phrase "Oh my god!" when surprised.
- Her voice seems to get even deeper when she just wakes up, to the point can be mistaken for a male voice.[28]
- Coco tends to call Towa "mentally challenged" due to her not appearing in Asacoco commercials and, ironically, acting much less deranged than the rest of 4th generation. According to Towa herself, she has a tight schedule, has to attend the university and to sleep well; this is why she rarely comes in contact with Coco.
- Towa is a big Nintendo fan, her favorite Nintendo franchises are Yoshi and Pokémon.
- Towa's name has been used to create some puns by overseas fans, the most notable being "Towaiting" used by her fans instead of "waiting" previous to the start of her streams, on a minor note fans also used "Towater" during her 3D model debut whenever she drank water.
