Toracon runs a matchmaking consultation service aimed at people with hobbies such as anime, games and manga, and at creators. The character is presented as the incarnated form of Bishamonten, a deity associated with marital harmony and good matches. Her profile lists a physical age of 28, a birthday of June 2, male gender (okama), and a fondness for muscular men. The illustration is credited to Dostoevsky. A teaser PV is already out, and the channel plans regular videos mixing entertainment with practical advice, including responses to viewer concerns. Toracon and the character are also accepting collaboration projects with VTubers and companies, event appearances and media interview requests.
Toracon's earlier YouTube output was informational; the company says the renewal was made to deliver more approachable and attractive content, with the character now the center of the schedule.
The full profile adds several details beyond the debut notice:
- Age: 28 in physical terms, listed as 3 kalpas in actual age.
- Likes: muscular men and cheerful people.
- Dislikes: cilantro.
- Catchphrase: "The secret society Bishamonten is the supreme leader! Call me Rose-chan, okay."
Her backstory is that she could not bear watching otaku defeated and wounded on the battlefield of marriage hunting and romance, so she descended to the lower world and formed the secret society Bishamonten. That society is described as actively recruiting love troubles, which feeds the viewer-consultation format.
Toracon is headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and its representative director is Hirotaka Yoshida. The teaser PV is on YouTube, and the announcement page sits on the toracon.jp site. Inquiries about collaborations go to the company's public relations department by email.
