Relationships

Trivia

  • Color: White
  • He has the same illustrator as Elu, Shibuya Hajime, Fushimi Gaku, Yumeoi Kakeru, Amemori Sayo, Sister Claire, and Todoroki Kyoko.
  • He was inspired to audition for NIJISANJI after watching Tsukino Mito's livestreams.
  • He is a self-proclaimed lolicon... There is even a "loli qualification" whose standard is "superchat from Toya" for Virtual YouTuber doing loli stream.
  • "Kenmochi Toko" is the name of Toya's genderbent (female) form created by Morinaka Kazaki. After he won his Tetris 99 competition against independent VTuber/illustrator Shigure Ui, Ui posted fanart of Toko on Twitter and fanart of loli Toko on Twitter as a counterattack to her punishment game (having to stream twice in her loli form).
  • Other Virtual YouTubers often refer to him as "Kenmochi Rikiya" due to the similarities between the kanji 刀 (tou) and 力 (riki) in his name. It started when Tsukino Mito accidentally typed his name as "力也" in a tweet when 2nd generation was still new.
  • The sharp chin on his official art is often the butt of many jokes. He has mentioned being sent sharpening stones as fan-gifts, held a talk radio show called "Sharpness Radio", and named his team "St. Sharpness Academy" during the 2020 NIJISANJI Baseball Tournament. Fan artists often draw his face as a triangle.
  • Toya is known for being a big fan of fellow NIJISANJI Liver Suzuya Aki. He finds Aki very cute and has proclaimed his love for him many times.
  • His viewers are often seen acting tsundere to him. They call him names on stream, but in clip or other livers' video, they will praise him and followed by "...but I won't say it in front of him".
  • Toya has basic English proficiency after spending time living with a host family in Australia.
  • He has a Twitter hashtag where viewers can post thumbnails for him to use. However, it has become something of a running joke how many of the posts found in the hashtag are shitposts. Kenmochi tells his viewers that the hashtag is meant for thumbnails and shouldn't be used for shitposting but despite this, he reviews the shitposts found on the hashtag on a regular basis.
  • Toya is a certified expert entitled "Yorokombu Supporter" (よろんぶサポーター) (a portmanteau or "yorokobu" which means 'to be delighted' and "kombu") after successfully passed the Kombu Proficiency Test organised by Japan Kombu Association during the "NIJISANJI B Grade Variety (tentative)" episode 30 along with Hayase Sou, Ibrahim, and Ienaga Mugi. Their names are officially posted on Japan Kombu Association webpage as certificate holders.
