Before his fame, Mafu was a song mixer and would often mix songs for his fellow Utaites, however, on September 15, 2015, he uploaded his first song, Kyouka Suigetsu, on YouTube. This was followed by him collaborating with Soraru, and he would often upload more original songs.
His old songs had a different nature than his current ones - he would sing with a low, deep voice, which sounded nothing like the middle-to-high ranged voice he is known for. As his career progressed, he would abandon his old style of singing to adopt a higher and energetic tone. 
He is part of the musical duo After the Rain with the aforementiomed Soraru, and the two have a close friendship as Soraru helped Mafumafu during a difficult period of his life. The two also co-host the show Hikikomoranai Radio (ひきこもらないラジオ) , where they will discuss various subjects and attempt to encourage each other to go outside. Other utaites/singers he has collaborated with include Hatsune Miku, the Kagamine siblings, un:c, Amatsuki and Akatin. 
On November 17, 2016, he held his first solo live concert, titled Hikikomori demo LIVE ga Shitai (ひきこもりでもLIVEがしたい！, I'm a Shut-In but I Want to Hold Concerts). This event would take place on 18th, 22nd and 28th January at Zepp DiverCity, Tokyo, Zepp Namba, Osaka, and Zepp Nagoya, Nagoya respectively. Previously he had stated that he did not want to do live concerts due to personal reasons and health conditions, but since his first concert, he has gone on to make several appearances in After The Rain concerts and hosts the annual HikkiLives.
On August 10, 2020 he debuted as a VTuber, with artist ぐら illustrating his VTuber model.https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/405035 He would often livestream himself playing video games, but later unlist the streams.
His most viewed video is his song Life hates us now, which has over 1.1 Million Likes and 110 Million views. 
==Collaborations==

== Controversy ==
=== Relationship with Rushia Uruha ===
During a Grand Theft Auto V Online stream with Sakura Miko (the archive is not uploaded to her channel), Rushia accidentally left her Discord notifications on, resulting in the viewers being able to see a DM from Mafumafu, the message itself saying "Work done. Coming home now, (nickname)-chan" when roughly translated. Following this, fans were able to dig up old tweets in which they have the exact same belongings, such as cups, plates, and cat toys, meaning that they're likely living together. Because both fanbases have developed an extreme following, many fans are not taking their supposed relationship well.
Mafumafu has publicly stated that he and Rushia are not in a relationship and denied all allegations. 
==Trivia==
*Although the majority of his work is done under the name "Mafumafu", in one of his Twitcast streams, he revealed that he created music under other names as well, and requested his fans to not to talk about or share his outside work, if they find it.
