Before that, she appeared at the AnimeGamers USA retail store in Los Angeles, California on July 7, 2002, for an autograph session promoting her Chocola 2001 artbook.

Often very shy, her drawings express her beauty and characteristic "cute" factor. She is a Harry Potter fan and has done many fan drawings on her Harry Potter fan site.

Recently, she has started working on a new manga called Naki Shōjo no Tame no Pavane that is being serialised in Mag Garden's Comic Blade manga magazine.
On Koge-Donbo's official website, she has announced that she will be starting a new manga called "DokiDoki! Tama-tan" featuring the "Magical Usamimi Girl" pictures that have been on her website.
