Trivia
Ebifrion is Matsuri's mascot - a hugging pillow. Its name is a pun combining Ebifurai ("fried shrimp") and Raion (transliteration of "lion" in Japanese)
WASSHOI! is a Japanese word typically used in chants and cheers to synchronize movement in groups, such as when playing instruments like the Taiko drum, the instrument referenced in the Special attack.
- The choice of a Taiko drum as Matsuri's Special Attack is based off her streams' intro sequence, where she is shown to be playing one.
- Matsuri's association with summer festivals comes from the fact her name literally translates to "Summer-Colored Festival". However, Matsuri has admitted that she actually dislikes summer and prefers winter instead.[1]
- The
GOD skill gets its name from a popular Matsuri meme where she is treated as (a) god. It originated from one of her Apex Legends streams where she tried to tell her overseas viewers that she is strong in said game, but was unable to remember the direct English translation of "strong", so she opted to describe herself as a "god" in the proverbial sense, considering it the closest English word she knew to what she was trying to convey. However, she didn't account for the fact that English has articles (unlike Japanese) and that there's a crucial semantic difference between calling oneself "God" versus "a god" or "godlike", creating the iconic line "I'm GOD, okay?".[2]
- Matsuri tends to make wild English proclamations, especially when she is playing competitive games such as the time she said "I AM HOLOLIVE" during a Mario Kart stream and challenging management and YAGOO to stop her.[3][4]
- The skill's effect could be based on a popular short animation by fan-artist Harutimu where she summons a giant divine death beam,[5] although it might just be based on the general concept of divine smites.
Cheerleader is based on Matsuri's lore where she is a rookie high school cheerleader.[6]
Seiso Representative is based on Matsuri's self-proclaimed title of being hololive's Seiso (清楚, "pure") Representative, despite her (in)famous reputation for making sexual jokes[7] and overt skinship.[8]
- Matsuri did admit that she did this mainly for content and that she has mostly toned down on such jokes and shenanigans, although it doesn't mean she will completely stop.[9]
