Biography[]
She was the third new member introduced of 'Chapter 2'.
Oto has always been a fan of anime and drew strength from their stories, however despite having an interest in seiyuu too, she thought her voice wasn't suited for it and never expressed her dream to anyone.
She stumbled upon 22/7 on a rainy day in Akihabara when she saw a poster for the 22/7 anime. She tuned in to watch episode 7, which caused the anime and group to have left a deep impression on her. After 22/7 announced an audition for a second generation, Oto secretly applied not expecting to pass. She only confessed to her mother about the application after she received an invitation back for the 2nd phase of auditions.
Despite her sudden withdrawal announcement, Oto has expressed that her time with 22/7 was special and deeply regrets no longer being able to give her character, Toa, a future.
She then resurfaced under the username tabesugiyaseruzo on instagram, and also posts dance covers on tiktok.
