== Fandom ==
Her fandom is known as 雑魚 (Zako).
=== In-jokes/memes ===
*Due to her way of prounoucing English words, several phrases of Tomoshika have acheieved memetic mutation amongst Zako:
** In a Minecraft stream, Tomo once shouted "Let's kill da ho!" as a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure reference. Being Japanese, she did not know what "ho" meant in American slang, which caused Amano having to explain it to her.
** Due to pronouncing "money" like "moner" in one of her English-learning Duolingo streams, it has become a meme to refer to money as "moner".
*There are many instances when Tomoshika's grasp of the English language has backfired and resulted in memes:
** Tomoshika once hand-wrote a letter in an attempt to reach out to her English-speaking fans. Said letter contained the sentence "I write letter to you by the handjob" which prompted Pikamee to host an English-learning stream later to educate Tomoshika about words and their meanings.
** In another instance, Tomoshika once said she "cocked a cake" with her mom (not understanding that cook and cock were two different words, and gloating that she didn't say "handjob" this time). But once Tomoshika found out the actual meaning of the word, she insisted that she was having chicken and only had cake afterwards.
*Tomoshika being a tsundere to Pikamee.
