■About Mikumo Konoha (URL: https://conoha.mikumo.com/
)

Born as a descendant of the Zashiki-warashi lineage, she originally lived at a historic shrine in Tochigi. Following long-standing traditions, she moved to Tokyo to train and become a full-fledged Zashiki-warashi.

After various twists and turns, she was appointed as ConoHa’s official supporter, cheering on everyone who uses ConoHa. At the same time, she is working hard every day not only to become a full-fledged Zashiki-warashi, but to grow into a “deity.” She is also active as ConoHa’s official VTuber.
