Tobokegao is a veteran of the chiptune scene who I've followed for a long time, and the quality of their work has stayed consistent: highly melodic, very energetic, often happy and upbeat, constantly pushing boundaries.

i cannot remember who said it, but before an online live show, someone said "tobokegao is someone who everyone in the chiptune scene has shared at least one exchange with". that introduction was very memorable because it is 100% true

Pursue your intellectual curiosity, digest it and sublimate it.
