Mafumafu (まふまふ) is a popular with a middle-high ranged voice who started in mid 2011.

Mafumafu likes to add effects to his voice and scream loudly in his covers. Mafumafu has a voice like of a teenage despite his age. Mafumafu has a very wide vocal range and a versatile voice, having the ability to hit and leap into high notes effortlessly, sometimes to feminine range, without sounding strained or losing the softness in his voice. However, he also sounds pleasant when he sings songs in his regular and lower voice, which can sound relaxing and quite soothing. His voice also can be little thick as seen in his cover in Orange. Because of his high vocal range, he is also capable of producing a very convincing female voice, most clearly seen in his cover of "Matryoshka". Though he is not a full-time, there are occasional moments where he feigns a more high, feminine-sounding voice. He often makes use of his wide range in his covers by leaping into higher or lower octaves to match the tone of the song. The first time he officially sang as a female character was in 's unique duet album "Finale".

He usually does collab with Soraru, Amatsuki, Un:c and Akatin. He also has form a team called "After the Rain" with Soraru where he and Soraru sings together to their original songs. Also he and Soraru are friends in real life too and they seem to have a very close relationship as we can notice in "Hikikomaranai Radio", a program where these two are the host.

He mostly covers songs which are soothing and sentimental. He's shown to be a playful person which can be heard in some of his covered songs too where he sings in a more playful manner as in At God's Mercy. He seems to be very fond of cats and summer festivals as most of the songs written by him are usually about cats and festivals like Super Nuko World and Yume Hanabi. But unfortunately as we get to know from one of the episodes of "Hikikomarani Radio", it seems that he have allergy with cats.

Usually in Utaite world, Mafumafu is depicted as someone pure and innocent by his fans probably due to his soft voice but his covers in Kurumi Ponchio and Gigantic O.T.N. has surprised everyone.

Also in one of the talks in "Hikikomaranai Radio", he have said his fandoms are to be called 'angel' but it has not been officially announced.

Occasionally he forgets some of the lyrics and either mumbles or makes cute noises until the next line. His songs are often tagged as someone with a "kakuseirui" (覚声類, lit. energizing voice).

He is also a mixer and often mixes songs for other utaite as well. He started as a Producer for VOCALOID originals.
