Career

Her YouTube channel was created on July 4, 2019. She debuted with NIJISANJI on September 19, 2019, together with Hayase Sou and Shellin Burgundy, and held her first YouTube stream on September 21. A remark she made in that first stream became a nationwide trending topic on Twitter in Japan. On October 28, 2019, a little over a month after her debut, her channel passed 100,000 subscribers.

On March 21, 2020, she marked her six-month anniversary with a cover of "Interviewer." In April 2020 she took part in the NIJISANJI Singing Stream Rally, and on her birthday, May 14, 2020, she launched channel memberships. On June 28, 2020, she was announced as the voice of Houou Karin in the multimedia music project DEN-ON-BU, her first voice-acting role. Her 3D model was announced on September 4, 2020, and its debut stream was held on September 12. She then appeared in Niji3D on October 8, 2020.

In June 2021 she paused streaming to study for a qualification exam. As planned, she returned in March 2022 after about nine months away. In the week of March 7–13, 2022, she ranked second in the world among VTubers for Super Chat earnings. She later said the exam had been for a medical license, and on September 20, 2025, she announced that she had earned it.

Activities

Streaming style

Her streams include games, chatting, ASMR, singing, TRPG sessions and mahjong, which she took up in March 2025. Because she works in healthcare in real life, she often talks about medical topics and health on stream. She has also played medical roleplay characters in GTA V server events, including an emergency services role in the NIJISANJI GTA event. Her collaborations with fellow NIJISANJI member Shirayuki Tomoe are among her best-known content.
