Full Profile
In this profile
Tokoyami Towa (常闇トワ) is a Japanese hololive singer and streamer whose career connects first-person shooters with a growing catalog of original music. A useful introduction is the contrast between her little-devil character, her conversational streams and the powerful singing heard on “Palette.” Her EP Scream, albums Aster and SHIN, and solo concerts provide a longer musical story than a list of recent games.
Character, debut and community
Towa debuted on January 3, 2020, as part of hololive's fourth generation. Her official character is a young devil visiting the human world; this is fictional character lore. Illustrator rurudo designed her character. Her birthday is August 8, and her fans are called TOKOYAMI KENZOKU. The official profile lists #トワイライヴ for streams, #TOWART for fan art and #CUTOWA for clips. These terms help readers navigate her Japanese-language community without confusing fan creations with official releases. Official profile
The character's devil identity also explains the affectionate “TMT” or angel joke used by fans. Towa's profile describes her hat familiar, Bibi, and her interest in first-person shooters and puzzle games. That combination matters: music is a major part of her career, but her channel also offers the informal interaction and teamwork of game streams.
Where to begin listening
Start with “Palette”, then “FACT”. Both are original-song videos selected on her official talent page. They offer two distinct entry points into her singing rather than requiring a newcomer to understand years of stream references.
The six-song EP Scream, released on January 4, 2022, puts “Palette” alongside “AKUMA,” “Midnight Runaway,” “born to be real,” “FACT” and “My Roar.” Its catalog describes five new songs alongside the previously released “Palette.” This makes the EP a compact introduction to her recorded work; it should not be confused with a cover-song collection.

From Aster to SHIN and the solo stage
Her first full album, Aster, arrived on September 27, 2023, with twelve tracks. “ANEMONE,” “Twilight” and “Sanvitalia” are useful next stops after the early EP. “Futari Sankyaku” features Nekota Tsuna, so that recording also introduces a collaboration rather than another uncredited solo performance. The album announcement paired this release with her first solo concert, Break your ×××, scheduled for October 13 at Tachikawa Stage Garden. Aster track list, album and concert announcement
The ten-track SHIN followed on October 8, 2025, including “My Abyss,” “Chewy Chewy” and “BAZUBIBAZAB.” Later that month, her second solo concert, SHINier, took place at Ariake Arena on October 29. The official report describes a live-band opening with the cover “-ERROR,” followed by “Twilight” and “Palette,” before moving into other parts of her repertoire. The distinction between a cover, an original recording and a concert arrangement is important to understanding her music. SHIN catalog, SHINier concert report
ORIO and music beyond the solo albums
ORIO is the unit formed by Towa and Amane Kanata. Their first EP, Over Time, was released on July 30, 2022. It contains “Over Time,” “Like a Phoenix” and “Pray,” followed by instrumental versions. These are joint unit credits, separate from either singer's solo discography. Kanata's later graduation does not change who participated in that historical release. ORIO release
Towa also recorded “Shirube” for the opening of the anime 勇者パーティを追い出された器用貧乏. The announcement distinguishes the song's January 4, 2026 digital release from the March 25 CD release; the CD also includes “Present Day” recorded at SHINier. More recently, the official catalog lists “Rewrite the Answer” with an October 9, 2026 release date. These are further listening options, not evidence that every release shares the same anime connection. Shirube announcement, Rewrite the Answer
