I think Tomita could be female, actually, but the pictures on Roba House's site are way too small to tell with any certainty and their bios don't specify.

Actually, you're most likely right.
I used another page on ROBA HOUSE website that didn't have any profile pic (was looking for the kanji writing for Maki Noguchi), as well as the ROBA HOUSE page on VGMdb to input the info, so my mistake for not thinking about double-checking about this name.

りぐま is a pretty unusual Japanese first name, I didn't even find a single match for it (or for れぐま) in the Japanese Name and Locations dictionary I'm usually using for these.
Since a name ending in ま isn't necessarily female in Japanese, it didn't strike me as being a female name when I created the page.

Yeah, a few other Roba House members have unusual stage names too ("Garyu" would more commonly be read as "Masataka," and likewise "Tessey" as "Tetsuo"). I wouldn't have been able to take a guess at りぐま.

If you're unsure about sex, you can always just leave that field blank until you find confirmation somewhere.

Yeah, that's what I do usually, but for some odd reason, I was convinced Rheguma/Riguma was a male name, so I didn't even question myself whether it could be a female name or not. :/

There are some unisex names, like Jun, that I always verify, though.
Again, sorry for the mistake. Wasn't my intention to input wrong informations in the database.
