On September 30, 2019, Rindou debuted her 3D model via YouTube live stream. She participated in the 2020 Nijisanji Japan Tour Shout in the Rainbow! Nagoya event.

Rindou Mikoto Physical Description

At first, many people assume Rindou is a child due to her height and body type. Her demonic lineage comes through in her pointed ears, fangs, and long horns protruding from her forehead. Her horns feature a color gradient matching her skin tone and the base and turning lavender at the tips. She has light purple hair styled in low twin tails with bangs parted around her horns. In her bangs, she has one lock of black hair that sticks out away from her face. Her debut outfit is an elaborate, deep purple kimono, cropped short beneath her hips, with furisode sleeves. She wears tall platform shoes, adding several inches to her height. In her alternate outfit, she wears an oversized tan cardigan over a black, sailor-style school uniform. In the winter, she pairs the outfit with a fluffy white scarf.

Rindou Mikoto Personality

Rindou is curious, adventurous, and uninhibited as she explores the human world. As an ancient half-demon, she often uses archaic speech patterns, such as the pronoun "warawa." Rindou loves drinking and frequently hosts drinking parties with other VTubers. Although they rarely stream together, Rindou has a close friendship with Kuzuha that started before their VTuber careers. In early 2021, some viewers thought they heard Kuzuha's voice in the background during one of Rindou's ASMR streams. This started a rumor that the two were in a relationship, inciting backlash on Rindou's channel.

Associated Company

Rindou originally auditioned for Nijisanji's first-generation but was not cast. She auditioned a second time and earned a spot in the second wave of Nijisanji SEEDs. Initially, SEEDs members did not fully intermingle with VTubers outside of their group. However, Nijsanji dissolved the groups at the end of 2018 and integrated all members together.

SKB Club

The SKB Club is a group of four Nijisanji VTubers known for discussing sensitive, "adult" topics. Their name comes from the word "sukebe," meaning pervert or lewdness in Japanese. Each member of SKB Club hosts streams with group members on their respective channels. Many of their streams are dedicated to playing erotic games or sharing dirty stories. However, they also support each other during milestone commemorations and participate in events together, like the annual Nijisanji Mario Kart Tournament. Other SKB Club members include Ange Katrina, Suzuka Utako, and Gundo Mirei.

Notable Releases/Videos

In addition to playlists containing her group membership streams, Rindou has streams dedicated to her duo partnerships with popular Nijisanji members.

Rindou also archives her appearances on other channels in a compilation playlist. Notably, she frequently collaborates with Honey Strap's Suou Patra, one of Rindou's favorite VTubers outside of Nijisanji.

Gaming

Rindou plays a variety of games for short streaming series either alone or in small collaborations. She enjoys casual Nintendo games, like Mario Maker 2 and Yoshi's Crafted World. During these series, Rindou would play irregularly for roughly one hour at a time. She often included a gaming partner in her streams as well, particularly in open-ended games like Animal Crossing.
