Character
Korone plays a dog character, and her catchphrase “yubi! yubi!” (“fingers! fingers!”) has become part of the fandom’s vocabulary. Her streams mix gameplay with casual chatting, and she is often praised for her reactions to games rather than only for skill. Critics such as Stuart Gipp of Retronauts have recognized her humor and gameplay reactions, according to Wikipedia.

In 2020 she played games such as Super Mario Bros. in English-only streams for international viewers. Her 3D debut livestream is tagged #戌神ころね3D and is the video the official profile recommends for her 3D performances.

2026 activity
In August 2026 Capcom announced a collaboration between *Rockman* (Mega Man) and hololive GAMERS, featuring Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio, Nekomata Okayu and Inugami Korone. The campaign began August 22 in Japan, with newly illustrated merchandise and arcade prizes such as acrylic stands, keychains, badges, T-shirts, cushions, pouches and stickers, sold through Capcom arcades and its online crane game service, Cap Tore, as well as Capcom Store and CharaCap locations. Capcom says the goods are due at Capcom Store Taipei in late November. The report does not describe any Korone-specific items.

- Want music: the two MVs above, then the full album.
- Want the group: the other GAMERS members are Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio and Nekomata Okayu.
