Trivia

He is a heteroromantic asexual.^[1]
- Michael used to date Ashley Nichols, a cleanup animator for the Hazbin Hotel pilot. They were together for 6 years and polyamorous for the majority of their relationship.^[2]^[3]
  - Michael explained that early into their relationship when polyamory was first discussed, polyamory was unfamiliar territory for him.^[3]
Ashley made an OC for him named Kovi Cat, which is basically him as a cat. He initially wanted to be an owl, which she claims she isn't able to draw well.
- His and Ashley's OCs are the only ones from the entire HuniCast crew to have their own names, HuniBun and Kovi Cat, respectively, while everyone else's OCs are just named after the person they are based on (with the exception of Edward Bosco whose OC name is a pun on his real name, Edward Ballsco).
He dislikes bitter/sour food and drinks but loves to drink Baja Blast.^{[citation needed]}
One of Michael's favorite food is Taco Bell.^{[citation needed]}
He is 5' 10½" (1.79 m) tall.^{[citation needed]}
Michael has one younger brother and one younger sister.^{[citation needed]}
According to a stream, Michael's middle name is James. He said how if he didn't have a middle name, he would have been Michael Kovach III.^[4]
On December 21, 2021, Kovach confirmed he will not reprise his role as Angel Dust in Hazbin Hotel produced by A24 and forward.^[5]
- On December 13, 2023, Kovach explained that A24 could have filled out a Taft-Hartley Report that would have allowed him to not be part of SAG-AFTRA but still work on a union production, and stated that he just simply wasn't asked to reprise the role,^[6] and further added that he was given a chance to re-audition for it.^[7]
  - Kovach later added that if he were the one and only person to be asked to reprise his role he probably wouldn't as he has too much history with Edward Bosco to work on Hazbin Hotel without him.^[8]
He is from Ohio.^[9]
Michael was part of the Hazbin Hotel fan song "THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT" as a farewell song from the pilot cast; singing the role of his pilot voice as Angel Dust.
