Career

Rindo Chihaya's YouTube channel was created on 1 August 2024. On 7 November 2024, a teaser video introducing the members of FLOW GLOW was published on the unit's YouTube channel, and Chihaya posted her first message on X the same day. On 8 November, FLOW GLOW released its first original song, "FG ROADSTER". Chihaya debuted on 9 November 2024 and was the fourth member of the unit to do so. Her unit mates are Isaki Riona, Koganei Niko, Mizumiya Su and Kikirara Vivi.

FLOW GLOW was the second generation of hololive DEV_IS, a branch of hololive production. The unit later became part of hololive when the hololive and hololive DEV_IS branches merged. Chihaya has also appeared as a character in the official animated short series Holo no Graffiti, starting with episode 345.

Her interest in vehicles has led to corporate partnerships. Suzuki Motor Corporation worked with her on a collaboration motorcycle called the GSX250R [Chihaya Remix], which is based on the Suzuki GSX250R and is not for sale. Chihaya came up with the original color and graphic concept, and a Suzuki styling designer refined and finished it. The color scheme follows her outfit: black and turquoise green with purple gradient accents. Suzuki displayed the bike at its booth at hololive SUPER EXPO 2026 and planned to show it at motorcycle shows in Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya starting on 20 March 2026.

Activities

Streaming style

Chihaya streams gaming, free talk and singing. Many of her streams are about cars, motorcycles and motorsports, including racing games played with a racing wheel. In January 2026, she competed in the Gran Turismo 7 V1GP as part of a three-person team. She has also streamed hobby content such as building Gunpla model kits. Suzuki described her as a VTuber who works across many genres, including music and gaming, and who uses her streams to share the appeal of mobility with viewers.

Characteristics

Her official character is the DJ of FLOW GLOW. She calls herself a "300-horsepower driver," and her profile says nothing can slow her down once she starts talking or singing. The same profile describes her as new to DJing but driven by earnestness and a curiosity she got from her older brother. Her favorite thing is driving with friends in her beloved car. She drives a customized Jeep named Fugutaro, which also has its own 3D model. She reportedly holds a gold driver's license, which in Japan requires five years without an accident.

Her stated likes include singing, driving, cats, cars, motorbikes, motorsports, musical instruments, melon soda, lemon sours and meat. Her dislikes include exercise, deadlines, bitter vegetables, bugs, extreme heat or cold, and getting up early. Her goals include singing an anime theme song, touring all 47 prefectures of Japan, performing around the world with FLOW GLOW, and working on projects with car and motorcycle companies.
