## Fun Facts

* Ran is the first mod to be banned from the server. On 15 January 2020 at 6:12 PM EST, Ran was autobanned by Dyno's word filter. He was soon able to rejoin about 12 minutes later, giving him the member number 3476.

* On 27 February 2021, Ran accidentally posted Minecraft Among Us sex and "didn't know". This makes Ran more sus.

## MugiCorp

MugiCorp is the name of the corporate conglomerate stemming from the fanbase of Tsumugi Kotobuki. As the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MugiCorp, Ran wields great power and influence among Mugi-roles and in the server overall.

### Integration of Adjacent Companies

On 19 September 2020, Ran issued this statement regarding related corporations:

> Notice to all MugiCorp employees:
>
>
> Firstly, I'd like to welcome our new colleagues from Azusa, Yui and Mio Co. to the MugiCorp families. You will all be assigned your complimentary mugi roles in due course. In addition, due to the increase in share prices afforded to us by this merger, all MugiCorp employees, old and new, will receive a 15% pay rise - effective immediately. The Ritsu Company, whilst it will work under the umbrella of MugiCorp, will retain its own CEO and board of directors. Again, my warmest welcome to all our new colleagues.

> Ran - CEO of MugiCorp
>
>

With the integration of three adjacent companies into the MugiCorp administration, MugiCorp gained substantially more server influence, power, and clout, paving the way for a potential MugiCorp domination of the server.

### Controversy

In response to Ran's statement, public backlash was immense, especially from the Azusa, Yui, and Mio gangs. Ran largely ignored this opposition and doubled-down, while the opposition demanded where their representation was. The unionization movement quelled down over the following days. Ritsu gang members stayed largely quiet and held their ground as an independent company.

### Takeover of Server and Mio Fan Club coup

On July 2, 2021, as part of the celebration of Kotobuki Tsumugi's birthday, Ran renamed the Class 3-2 role to MugiCorp, taking over the whole server.

On July 3, 2021, however, Drippstation renamed the Class 3-2 role to Mio Fan Club as retaliation over the takeover of the server by MugiCorp. The takeover was absolute, and a first for corporations outside of MugiCorp. Subsequently, the Class 3-2 role returns to its original name.

### Merch

While Ran is not the most active member in the K-ON! Discord, he makes several appearances in the `#merch` channel to flex his merch.
