While Tsumugi is the Ultimate Cosplayer, she only enjoys making costumes, not wearing them. However, she hates using cosplayers who care more about standing out than love of the series, so she wears her own costumes as well. She deeply loves cosplaying as she state that cosplaying is an expression of love.

Despite her status as the Ultimate Cosplayer, Tsumugi actually doesn't have interest in cosplaying herself. Rather, she states that she enjoys recreating costumes more.

In her promotional artwork, Tsumugi is featured with mannequins wearing lingerie and a wig, several paints and cosmetic brushes, as well as red thread and an object which could be interpreted as scissors. This could imply that her talent is multi-faceted.
