Trivia
* OWOZU's website displays their talent roster using animated chibi icons, linking to individual profile pages. On many instances, this feature has been used as part of running jokes. * In December 2022, streamer Ibai LLanos misspelled Karma’s name as “Kama” while voting for the ESLAND Awards. Following memes joking that Karma was actually a “cama” (Spanish for “bed”), OWOZU created a page on their website in reference to it. * In early February 2023, during Rakkun's hiatus, a funeral picture frame was added to her icon, referencing a running joke in which many fans presumed her dead, under the hashtag #VuelaAltoRakkun. * Also in February 2023, OWOZU added a new page to their website featuring a chibi squirrel version of Rakkun. * In July 2023, following the "incorporation" of HuntLeo, Tammy and Nekito into the agency, the site temporarily included icons for all three. Image files for Tammy's and Nekito's icons were named "Niputaidea1.png" and "Niideaputa1.png".
