【What is “Mikumo Konoha”?】
(URL: https://conoha.mikumo.com/ )

Born as a descendant of the Zashiki-warashi clan, she lived at a historic shrine in Tochigi, but due to long-standing traditions, she began training in Tokyo to become a full-fledged Zashiki-warashi!
After many twists and turns, she was appointed as the “ConoHa Support Leader,” where she cheers on everyone using ConoHa. At the same time, “Konoha” is working hard every day—not just to become a full-fledged Zashiki-warashi, but to become a “deity”! She is also active as ConoHa’s official VTuber!
