Ina'nis Ninomae

Ina'nis Ninomae, also known as Ina and Tako, is a Japanese Virtual YouTuber endorsed by hololive.

One day, Ina'nis picked up a strange book and then started to gain the power of controlling tentacles. To her, tentacles are just a part in her ordinary life; it has never been a big deal for her. However, her girly mind does want to get them dressed up and stay pretty. After gaining power, Ina started hearing Ancient Whispers and Revelations. Hence, she began her VTuber activities to deliver random sanity checks on humanity, as an ordinary girl.
Ina is a gentle, peaceful, soft-spoken and down-to-earth girl with an easy-going temperament, so much so that she reverses stress and insanity in her viewers rather than encouraging it, despite her Lovecraftian role as "the maiden who speaks for the old gods." She is very loving and aware towards her fellow members, capable of talking extensively about each one and their respective quirks.
Ina is considerate and kind; Takanashi Kiara relates that when she is down, Ina is always the first to message her. In complete contrast to the salty gremlin Amelia, Ina has near-infinite patience and is widely considered the most well-behaved member of her generation.

== Trivia ==
* Ina is a priestess of beings known as the Ancient Ones.
* Despite her appearance, Ina claims to be human.
* Ina's current appearance and ability to control tentacles are thanks to the strange book she found. The book is nicknamed AO-chan, from the abbreviation "AO" (for Ancient Ones).
* Ina appears to be inspired by the Lovecraftian mythos, a collection of stories featuring tentacled horrors, cultists to ancient forgotten gods, and old books of insanity-inducing lore. The book she found is likely a reference to the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire in the Lovecraft mythos used to summon ancient supernatural evils.
** Ina's illustrator, Kuroboshi Kouhaku, is well known for illustrating several Lovecraftian mythos-inspired servants appearing in Fate/Grand Order.
** The label on the cover of Ina's book reads "This Necronomicon is the insane grand prize!" which is a reference to "This Light Novel is Amazing!' Grand Prize".
* According to Ina, Takodachis are creatures of the void who are primarily shaped like octopuses, but can take other forms. Ina has also admitted various times to being a Takodachi herself rather than human, though she still denies any possibility of her not being human.
* Ina's squishy orange hair reportedly tastes like Nintendo Switch game cards, which are coated in a bittering agent known as denatonium benzoate.
* The purple ear-like appendages at the top of Ina's head are strictly speaking not ears, but are referred to as "flaps." The misconception that they were ears came from her debut stream, which Ina scolded herself for in her one-year debut anniversary stream.
* Ina's flaps are designed to resemble the ear-like fins of the dumbo octopus.
* While the tentacles she controls allow Ina to multitask, they apparently still require the same level of mental coordination. This leads to situations in which she has to rely on using her hands, despite tentacles being available.
* The Ninomae family have long held a special purpose, "blessed by the angels, in a way," as Ina puts it. Ina was always meant to be a priestess. "AO-chan was always around," but Ina's first song tells the story of how Ina became "awakened" to AO-chan and began to fulfil her purpose as priestess.
* According to her one-year debut anniversary stream, Ina's birthday of May 20th has no special meaning; it's just her birthday. She blames the ink blot which obscured her age in the debut stream on the Ancient Ones; Ina claims she cannot have done it herself as she does not produce ink, since she is a normal human.
* Ina's nemesis is Past Ina, herself from the past, who she considers to be a separate person.
* Ina likes food, drawing, gaming, reading and sometimes cooking.
** Ina enjoys a soft drink called "Dr. Oopsie." Mama'nis criticizes her for drinking too much Dr. Oopsie.
* Ina dislikes bugs, being bored, and cucumbers. "I'm not allergic to cucumbers or anything, but I just don't like eating them. They smell funny. They smell like cucumbers."
* Ina's goals are drawing every hololive member, improving her Japanese and singing skills, making lots of collaboration streams and friends, and world domination to make fun of her status as a human that has gained supernatural powers.
* Ina's favorite games include Nier series, Final Fantasy XIV, Destiny 2, Apex Legends, Kingdom Hearts, Pokémon, Fate/Grand Order, Arknights, Granblue Fantasy among others.
* Ina's favorite light novels include Biblia Koshodō no Jiken Techō, 86-Eighty-Six-, The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II, Kino no Tabi and Fate/strange fake.
* Ina's favorite anime include Neon Genesis Evangelion, Sword Art Online, Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online, the Fate series, Gin Tama, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., Nichijou, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, 3-gatsu no lion, Made in Abyss, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba among others.
* Ina's favorite season is winter.
* Ina is a very talented artist. She drew the holoMyth members present in their introductory video, a few illustrations of herself, the cover of Mori Calliope's Debut EP (DEAD BEATS), the artwork of holoMyth's single "Journey Like a Thousand Years" and all of hololive EN’s first generation member's mascots with the exception of Gura's mascot Bloop to name a few. She has also drawn art used in official hololive merchandise, and occasionally draws fanart of her fellow hololive members.
* Ina is infamous for making puns. Whenever she or another hololive member (sometimes other VTubers in general) makes a pun, the chat tends to say "INAFF." Pavolia Reine in particular shares her fondness for puns.
* Ina has a habit of ending her tweets with kaomojis.
* Ina has various introductory phrases: "Wah!," "Good morning/afternoon/evening," and "Ina Ina ii na~".
* Ina is the fourth hololive EN member and tenth hololive member overall to join official Hololive Subreddit as a moderator.
* Ina used to have a verbal tic often written as "humu humu." Ina herself acknowledges this tic, and has even made it into a subscriber icon. It began as a way to assure others that she was listening in voice calls where physical cues like nodding couldn't be used. However as time passed the tic dissapeared unless Ina acknowledges it.
* Ina often jokes about only having one brain cell.
* Ina has a sister, whom she has named "Ane'nis." Her mother and father are named "Mamanis" and "Papanis," respectively.
* On 20 May 2021, fans celebrated Ina's birthday by renting electronic billboards at Times Square to display fanart of her.
* It is said that Ina has an extremely marbled back, so much so that Takodachis became obsessed over it for awhile, drawing fan art at any excuse they could find.
* The kimono outfit Ina and Sana wear in their duet cover of Futariboshi are decorated with flowers that have special significance. Ina's include violet, referencing truth, sincerity and modesty; and morning glory, representing holding to strong bonds despite their ephemeral nature. Each also wears a scrunchie on their wrist of the other's color, representing their close friendship.
