History
KAF has been interested in the world of song ever since she was a child, when she grew up listening to AKB48, which she found herself singing and dancing to. When she grew up, she discovered the VOCALOID and the Utattemita scene, wherein singers cover songs from VOCALOID and J-Pop.
KAF's road to become a professional singer started with her uploads to a karaoke app. While a mistake prevented her from doing official auditions, a producer discovered her and both them and KAF were interested in her becoming a professional singer. However, KAF was just 14 at that time.
Due to KAF still having to attend school and thus having to balance a grown-out hobby with the daily school life, her mother suggested that KAF would keep her true identity a secret, at least while she was still attending school. This kickstarted the idea of KAF becoming a virtual singer.
Illustrator PALOW. then brought KAF's virtual avatar to life, based on impressions from her. The basic idea was that of a baby bird but with a monster hidden within, as to represent that within her fragile voice, there is something mysterious lurking underneath. Thus, KAF's first costume ended up being named Hinadori (lit. 'baby bird'), which still featured the signature monster hood that would become part of KAF's trademark.
KAF made her YouTube debut on 18 October 2018 at the age of 14.
