The Wolf Man is a ArchetypalCharacter that appears in some form in nearly, if not every culture that has ever existed. This is likely because humans and wolves evolved alongside one another, having a symbiotic relationship from the earliest days of both our species, and thus like all archetypes speaks to the human psyche on a very (no pun intended) primal level.

If her own name isn't a giveaway (the kanji used for her last name translates to "great god" but is a homophone of "wolf" in Japanese), the fact that she sports wolf ears atop her head in a LittleBitBeastly manner and her occasional statements of being a wolfman and howling at the moon should solidify it. A more NobleWolf interpretation for the trope is in play here, as she is described as a TeamMom among other streamers in the company who helps keep the peace during offline collaborations and generally acting as a StraightMan to the others' more wacky antics.
