Concept[]

Etymology[]

Kobayashi Matcha's name refers to a finely powdered green tea, making allusion to her hair color and overall color scheme.

For her VOCALOID4 release, her first name is rendered in hiragana (まっちゃ).

Appearance[]

Matcha was illustrated by Hiro Kanzaki, thus having a moe style with rounded features that are characteristic of the illustrator's style. She has waist length, straight green hair and uses a pair of trademark skull hairpins. Due to her background within the game, she is usually depicted in casual or school-related outfits.

In her VOCALOID4 illustration, she has a more idol-like appearance, wearing a white sleeveless dress with a bell-shaped skirt and a green frilly trim, with matching long gloves and boots. There is a large green ribbon on her back. There are also small ribbons on her chest, gloves, and on both the tops and bottoms of her boots. A black letter M is visible at the bottom of the front of her dress.

Official profile[]

Her birthday is September 13, she's a Virgo, and she has a blood type of AB.[1]

Matcha is described as being a bit of an introvert who is cool, calm, and collected. She hides her emotions and is quite blunt as her words are sharp and hurtful. In her spare time, she likes making fanzines/dōjinshi.

In Go! Go! 575!, she is shown to be quite the avid book reader and is often seen reading one throughout the show. It's also shown that she believes in, and is afraid of, evil spirits. Matcha seems to be fond of cats and was seen talking to one in "cat speak" in episode 2. Both she and Azuki seem to be oblivious to Yuzu's "fantasies" of the two.
