Tsumugu Katari, a Nijisanji VTuber who streamed only three times since her January 2019 debut and went silent after a February 2019 stream, has announced her first participation in the Nijisanji Koshien event. She was drafted by Sara Hoshikawa during the roulette segment, shocking the host and other participants. The appearance required her personal permission, making the contact after seven years of inactivity a major surprise.
Tsumugu Katari debuted in January 2019 and streamed exactly three times before going dark after a February 16, 2019 stream titled 'I'm a ghost, but I'll play a game.' Her last social media post read simply 'mycelium.' On July 5, 2026, during the draft for Nijisanji Koshien, host Keisuke Mayumoto's roulette landed on Katari for Sara Hoshikawa's team. The room reacted with shock because participation requires the streamer's consent, meaning Katari had to reach out to the organizers herself after seven years of silence.
Fans on X quickly connected the announcement to a possible sighting at Nijisanji Fest 2026, where a handwritten signature matching Katari's distinctive 2019 WIXOSS collaboration signature was reportedly seen. Her birthday falls on August 15, which coincides with the Obon season, a period traditionally associated with spirits returning.
