Kobo is a carefree girl who lives in the topmost room of a lighthouse, she is actually the bloodline of the strongest rain shaman in the area. She has great potential to control rain, but she does not like to do it as a task. In order to win back her Rain Master title, she needs to prove to her family that she can keep their rain shaman service afloat. Not only does she have to train daily, but she also needs to adopt some sort of virtual marketing strategy to succeed!
Because of her short stature and immature mannerisms, Kobo initially projects the image of an endearing and energetic child with strange tendencies, though in reality she often acts like a sassy spoiled brat who frequently demands praises and playfully insults her peers and viewers and banters with them. She can very quickly lose her temper when enraged or provoked, and also gets flustered easily, particularly when being given genuine compliments or being called "princess." However, she can also be somewhat respectful of others, especially the ones she rarely interact with or personally idolised.
Kobo is often considered one of the most "childlike" members of hololive that inspires others to pamper her like their little sister or daughter, although she is not above taking advantage of this to gain (often material) benefits. In spite of her childish "gremlin-like" attitude, not only is she tremendously talented and clever, but also capable of genuine sweetness when expressing her gratitude and happiness.
