Trivia
- Color: White * Tsumugu's mysterious lack of activity and still being counted as an active member of NIJISANJI has sparked many jokes and theories between fans. ** Her lack of activity may be because of her character; a spirit, which caused fans to joke that she is "really good at being in character". ** On her last tweet in 12 March 2019, she said "菌糸" (kinshi, lit. mycelium). Fans theorized that it could mean "禁止", meaning "banned", and is also pronounced "kinshi", meaning that Tsumugu has been banned from streaming for some reason. * She shares the same illustrator as fellow livers Debidebi Debiru, Shirasa Ayane and Minamo Madoka of NIJISANJI, Miyoshino Shiki, Suzuka of VirtaReal Link, Gigi Murin of Hololive EN, Hizuki Yui of Neo-Porte, independent vtubers Rin Penrose and Ayla Yew, Saya Sairroxs of Phase-Connect and Tatsumaki Chise of VSPO! * She appeared in a funeral photo with their shared illustrator, Maki Hitsuji, in Debidebi Debiru and Yamato Iori's wedding announcement stream.
