Personality

Okayu is typically very relaxed, free-spirited, and also somewhat of a playboy or prankster. She sometimes flirts openly with other hololive members just to see their reactions and is also known for impulsively swiping food. She never denies her wrongdoings and was handed a guilty verdict in several "Okayu Court" cases, after which she obediently served her sentence. Okayu typically likes to talk a lot and through many streams likes to talk about daily activities and old stories.

Despite her laid-back personality, Okayu can get very emotional when playing games to the point that she can break down into tears during emotional moments in the story. This happened most notably when she finished: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, where she cried on stream after beating the game for a few minutes and needed a moment to compose herself.

She greets her viewers with "Mogu! Mogu!", the Japanese sound of chewing.

Appearance

She has medium length light purple hair with cat ears and a tail, and bright purple eyes. She wears an off-black/greyi-sh hoodie with tints of purple and a black pet collar.

Her fanbase is officially called "Onigiryaa" (おにぎりゃー) in Japanese and "Onigiris" in English. The mascot representing Onigiryaa appears to be a prisoner with its head being a rice ball. At the start of her stream fan would say "​待機🍙" (standby) The riceball was later replace with a white cat (勝ち猫 winning cat.) Emoji for members. At the end of her stream fan would say "ゴチゴチ!" (gochi gochi!) as in Gochisousama from thank you for the meal. Which also largely replace by member only emoji.

Okayu" translates to "rice porridge," a common dish in Japan; It is also known simply as "kayu." Okayu's last name " Nekomata" is the name of a type of cat yōkai that appears Japanese folklore. China has a similar type of cat monster named Senri.

Likes and dislikes

Okayu is very close to Korone, having been good friends with Korone before joining hololive.

She is a fan of FUWAMOCO.

She is a big fan of Dragon Ball and her favorite character is Broly. During a stream, she mentioned that she watched the new Broly movie from Dragon Ball Super numerous times and really loved his character. Her three most favorite characters are Broly, Bardock and Raditz.

Miscellaneous

Okayu accidently revealed that she grew up in Aomori when she started talking about a childhood favorite dish her grandma use to make, tamago-miso on rice, which is a regional dish of the prefecture. True to her carefree nature, she didn't try to hide it when the cat was out of the bag as she kept talking for minutes on end about it.

Okayu uses rather masculine personal pronoun "boku." This trait is shared with Roboco-san and Amane Kanata.

Okayu owns a cat; a small female American Shorthair named Temari (the name coming from the Temari Balls of traditional Japanese handcraft culture). The novel oddity of a cat-girl owning a pet cat is not lost on Okayu's fans. Many fans refer to Okayu as a "harem protagonist" as she gets along with many members.

Okayu has demonstrated on stream that she is able to move her cat-ears at will. In several episodes of holo no graffiti they're also seen to sometimes wiggle involuntarily.

In one of her streams with Korone, it is revealed that the ears are tied to her eyebrow movement; this can technically work with other VTubers of the same type of animal-ear model, as Korone in the same stream also managed to do so with her own eyebrow movement. However, model movements may vary from model to model as shown with others.

She claims that if one were to touch and pull on her tail, it would pop off, initiating a self destruct sequence inside her. It's unknown if this is a joke or serious.

Sometimes her grandmother can be heard snoring in the background during her streams.

When her grandmother's health deteriorated she spent some time living with Korone and her family.

One of her fondest memories with Korone is when she treated Okayu like a little sister.

She shares the same illustrator with Shiina Yuika from NIJISANJI and Itoi Toi from Neo-Porte.

On 7 January 2022, Okayu won the 3rd hololive Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tournament with 69 points.
