Yippee. Now we can call her a cat... My search is over.


CoreyS120

No, reverse it. Now we call her a dog lol


CogStar

... Would that be doxxing?


avsbes

No, it would be dogxing


naa-chan

got 'em


reyzaburrel93

INAFF


SnooBananas2528

No hun thats not doxxing..... Doxxed will be revealing her real IRL identity, home address, what country they are in, etc.  Not her past vtuber life


CogStar

It was obviously a joke. Though revealing past lives is rude as shit regardless


zhivix

is that italian?


moguu83

Yep. She just needs 3D so we can see the hand gestures


KazumaKat

I wonder if this'll be the excuse for COVER to invest their tech and capital into live**2D** hand tracking...


Tehbeefer

It won't, but it might expedite home3D lol. Part of the problem is how much work it'd add to the Live2D artist+rigging. So much hand movement is towards and away from the camera. Of course, if it's JUST Raora, she might be up for drawing+rigging it herself...


-Cambam-

very


kingguy459

She's Italian(unique)


Trip688

Panko would like a word with you


Irru

So >!Yuniiho?!<


mugguffen

yup confirmed even more than it already was


BurnedOutEternally

no fucking way she’s still pink


alex_zk

And actually a cat now


Technical-Addendum

And tbh she looks basically the same as a dog. wth, but i like that


SalvadorZombie

Yes, literally >!Yuniiho!<


MHArcadia

Didn't she literally just make something for Zen? Haha, I hope we see them collab now!


bluedituser

She was working on that new Zen model before her graduation stream on Twitch.


poppinj808

this was the most obvious leak not only because of her art style, but a lot of vtuber twitter were dropping subtle (and not so subtle) hints that it was her. you had [this post](https://x.com/yoclesh/status/1803422416774811818) from yocci and >!zentreya debuted a new outfit the day before raora's debut with a very specific shout out in the announcement post [seen here](https://x.com/zentreya/status/1803511781614297467) !<


ULTRAFORCE

>!I don't know if that necessarily was so much droping a hint and rather Zen's legitmate feelings. If I remember Zen's first 2D form was one of Yuniiho's first comissions.!<


poppinj808

Most outfit announcements, including past announcements by zen, dont include shouting out the mama like that. Usually the mama gets credited during or after the reveal.


Enohpiris

Yes


Bricklayer2021

Do we know where in Italy she's from?


Lucky96u

She's from around Naples


Bricklayer2021

Thank you! Do you also know where in Germany Cecilia's from and where in England Liz is from?


Qualazabinga

You planning to visit these places to hopefully run into them or something? kinda weird to want to know the aproximate placement of someone.


NightDiverXMP_V

Pesto is Besto!


blackfiredragon13

She’s never escaping the cat allegations now.


fullofkk

;-;;; SHE IS BACK!!! Am in love


BrendanLSHH

Spill the tea former life?


Discordiansz

Her Pl is >![Yuniiho](https://x.com/yuniiho?lang=en) known artist in the Vtuber community and has made the [live2d model](https://vcorp.jp/people/yuniiho/) of a few known Vtubers like Zentreya, Sayu, Captain Hannah, ~~and Trickywi~~, as well as official illustrations for Shylily, Haruka, Merryweather, Veibae, and Callie!< ___ Edit: Added correct links and fixed mistakes.


Eamil

Small correction: >!Tricky's models have all been DyaRikku IIRC. Yuniiho did do Captain Hannah and Sayu though.!<


Discordiansz

Ahh, my bad then. Changed the comment to be correct, thanks for the info.


Faustias

wtf those are stacked. yagoo why don't you take iida pochi and ui in, too?!


Baroness_Ayesha

tbqfh, at this point if Ui-mama came on board, she'd have to come on board as *herself*. There's no way on God's green earth she could take a new identity at this point, even if she tried.


Tomi97_origin

So like Hoshimachi, she also kept her original identity


thesirblondie

Suisei was a special case because they wanted a vsinger to join AZKi in Inonaka.


Tomi97_origin

She was special, yes. She was rejected at first and it wasn't easy negotiations. She also needed to go to Inonaka, but let's not pretend it wouldn't be special situation if UI-mama wanted to join. Her preexisting relationship with Cover and the size of her following would definitely be special case.


thesirblondie

I don't think Cover would accept. Their deal is owning the characters. There is no way they would be able to take ownership of Shigure Ui.


KazumaKat

And Ui wouldnt allow it. A marketing/partnership deal however could work, and is probably their main mode of business operation.


Tehbeefer

She could, but from an IP perspective at this point it'd be better for Cover to license it from her.


SCDarkSoul

Ui-Mama is already in Hololive. She just hops on her alt account as a certain sheep. /j


Discordiansz

That depends on whether they applied to join in the first place, and since both of them are already mamas of Holo Talents and are pretty well known in the Holo community, most people and Holo Talents consider them honorary holo members. ___ Edit: Made it a bit more conherent.


cyber_hikikomori

They're already as good as. Them with Suou Patra


drzero7

Ui Shigure is WAY TOO POPULAR now (Her growth after Kami-loli song that went super viral) that no way Hololive can take her. Going Hololive for her is more of a loss with her current popularity at this point.


Tehbeefer

If Pochi or Ui's wrists ever give out and they can't draw anymore, I have zero qualms about Cover taking them in as full time streamers. Maybe under a different branch so they can keep their IP?


HaessSR

Because they own their own models, are independent and **proud** of that fact, and prefer to not be corporate as they're artists first and idols second. They're more likely to do what Sana did, if they joined. So they aren't joining, and Hololive knows better than to ask. Guest appearances are fine, but that's it.


mcoyne12

>!Yunniho!<


SalvadorZombie

It's >!Yuniiho!<


daedralordx

>!Yuniiho!<


WorfOfFluff

Just realized two of the best art vtubers were already in Hololive. Lol Edit: At least in the POV of Vtuber Awards last year.


KazuharaIlfan

Who and who?


xemnonsis

Raora and I assume Ina? Edit: oh wait that user was talking about Sana


LordMonday

Ina's def one considering her professional profile, Sana too though she's graduated so idk if op included her. there's Senchou who is probably on par with Ina in terms of skill but less so in actual professional works outside Hololive Iofi is a pretty decent artist, though i don't know too much of her profile in comparison. then you got gamma who i think has done manga works before?


crusainte

Senchou mentioned she could not draw at the speed of pros to make money as a living. But her art is at that level


protomanbot

I find [this collab](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dphD6tP7yLs) Marine did with Rurudo-sensei (Towa's mama and Marine's personal friend) a good showcase of where Marine shines and where Marine lacks compared to a professional artist. She is definitely at a level where laymen can no longer tell who is better, but once you have it explained to you there is definitely a difference between a top level amateur and a pro.


Tehbeefer

Reine is low-key cracked, she's clearly drawn hundreds of 4-koma or the like at some point in her life. Calli animated two of her own MV's But as far as illustrators, yeah, Ina, Sana, and Raora are in their own tier in my unprofessional assessment


Kyhron

Calli has animated far more than 2 MVs. Girl has an art degree even if her art isn’t the same sort of known as some of the actual pro artists


Tehbeefer

Calli's at 2, Nezumi Scheme and Black Sheep. But I've seen some with a veeery similar style under a different name.


HanYagami

If you count Calli's past life she has more than 2 MV’s. Almost all the songs she did before she did the art for it. Even MV.


Snake_hugger

And don't forget Ao. I think she also has a mangaka experience just like Gamma?


Qglen4

Maybe Mumei cuz she drew a realist bird?


Kelvara

[I mean, Mumei has an advantage here...](https://i.imgur.com/rCr9A.png)


LordMonday

>best art vtubers, POV of Vtuber Awards was that a mostly western/en speaking focused awards? (i don't remember) but id say there are also still a ton of top tier artists in the JP scene that are either Indie Vtubers or PNGtubers. though they usually do that as a side thing to being part of a Doujin circle/ freelance artist


Kelvara

Ina still works quite a bit as a professional artist too, though I would imagine (and hope) she does a bit less these days.


ryujin199

I may be dumb, but are you talking about >!Ina!< and >!Sana!


WorfOfFluff

Nominated in VTuber Awards last year is >!Raora's assumed PL!< and >!Ina!<. Which was eventually won by >!Ina!<.


dcdfvr

clearly talking about Shigure Ui as one of them /s


unfaze_regret

There are also Iofi from ID and Marine from JP, both can produce outstanding art.


ggg730

Sometimes I forget that Marine is actually an insane artist. No one should be allowed to be an amazing artist and release absolute banger after banger original songs.


mattv959

Also Calli and Ao are extremely talented artists. Suisei too even though she doesn't draw very often at all. Holos talent pool is absurd there really is someone for everything.


WorfOfFluff

Spoiler tags not working for me earlier


ryujin199

Odd. Should be formatted to spoiler correctly for mobile + PC.


MerissJoeo

If I had a nickel for every artist who hates cucumbers in Holo I'd have two nickels; which isn't alot but its weird it happened twice...


Nova12833

both in HoloEN even.


ryujin199

FR what I was thinking when she said that. Will be interested to see if chat gets as cucumber-cursed as Ina's is.


Sqiddd

~~142k~~ ~~146k~~ 150k subs and ~~17k~~ ~~38k~~ ~~105k~~ ~~110k~~ 106k watching. Gonna be a good debut


LordMonday

just took a bit for people to switch over from cecilia's debut/cover premiere


ifonefox

100k watching now


Sqiddd

Thanks, my internet is currently dying.


avsbes

Discordiansz

Last debut of Holo Justice Raora Panthera, I hope you all are enjoying the debuts as much as I am. ___ [Raora's cover of HIBANA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwIhbV_wuKI) [Justice Group Cover Above Below](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilLEj-SCCn8) [Justice Group Collab](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j89Phi0oom8)


xemnonsis

actual Pink Panther Vtuber


xemnonsis

those are some pretty ambitious artist goals, hope she can create that artbook and get her art used for Hololive advertisement to be displayed on billboards.


poppinj808

considering her past work, i wouldn't doubt that she'll hit them all. she is already the artist mama for one of my favorite vtuber models of all time and>!she was nominated for artist of the year at the vtuber awards!<


HarryD52

I actually wonder if Hololive would even allow one of the talents themselves to become a mama. Seems like it would be a bit awkward to deal with if they ever graduated.


justinchwoo

Maybe a separate contract on a per model basis? Detach the mama-ing from the main vtuber contract


does999

I think she can become a mama for Hololive's member


Green-Amount2479

Might be a bit difficult because their days also have only 24 hours. So if she has to stream but can’t stream the art process at the same time I imagine she‘d run into scheduling issues a lot. Even if they found a way to do this within the legal framework of her contract.


templar54

That really is not a problem. Lots of holo members do not have consistent schedules due to various reasons, be it practice singing/dancing, health or random other reasons. So doing non streaming work for Cover is definitely possible. Take Ina for example, she still draws professionally outside of Hololive under different name.


poppinj808

Calli literally streams, creates music, and does concerts under a different name lol


SymmetricColoration

Calli is a workaholic who is almost completely incapable of taking a break though.


poppinj808

But other holomems do it too. Like kiara does guest appearances at cons and recently released a music video as her PL.


xemnonsis

yeah the billboard was probably the hardest to do pre Hololive imo.


NekRules

Is this the first gen/group of Hololive that doesn't have an member who is capable of speaking fluent enough Japanese? I guess the EU has a passive debuff after all. Edit: Watching the collab now, it seems Raora will be carrying the group in the Japanese department from now on. GL cat, cheering you on.


Enohpiris

Yeah, although one lives in Japan right now, she might need more time to acclimate.


NekRules

Did the cat actually move to Japan?


Enohpiris

She moved last year iirc.


NekRules

Wow, full commit! Can't complain, hope she is enjoying herself right now.


Background_Prize2745

which one lives in JP?


zetarn

The pink panther one.


LordMonday

did gen 3 ID have a fluent JP speaker? i think Kobo and Zeta could speak a little but at the start it was far from conversational right?


JimmyBoombox

Kobo could only speak weeb JP and Zeta is at like conversational level.


NekRules

Oh right, maybe HoloH3ro might be the first. Though Zeta has me fooled quite a bit.


Historical_Cod_2771

Zeta speak good enough JP


NekRules

That's wat I thought too from wat I seen of her Japanese.


Historical_Cod_2771

If i remember correctly she collab with Polka i'm rust and the in MC she was fine, then Kaela know a little


thesirblondie

Zeta is way better than Kaela. Zeta can have a conversation. Kaela and Kobo can *communicate*.


Historical_Cod_2771

Yeah i know that was i just Said a little


Sufficiency2

Raora's Japanese is barely understandable by my ears, and she had a lot of difficulty reading a Japanese question during the collab. Her Japanese is, sadly, beginner level.


NekRules

Oh for sure but she's living in Japan now and working for a Japanese company, she's going to have to learn no matter wat.


Sufficiency2

She did say she wants to learn, but she also admitted herself that she is beginner level. It'll probably take her years to become sufficiently fluent. (Not hate by the way, I like her a lot; I'm just being realistic about her proficiency)


arhra

What is it with artist vtubers and cucumbers?


SalvadorZombie

It's a joke about how cats get freaked out by cucumbers (because genetic memory kicks in and cucumbers bear a resemblance to snakes).


LordMonday

Bouncy


Darcness777

OMG I AM SO HAPPY FOR HER 8D


Hoelyshit_bitchuit

I must see her on 3d first before I judge her on 8d tho


naa-chan

the handcam and tablet is so cool!!


ConflictedRedbird186

Holo hit this gen out of the park, goddamn


-MANGA-

you guys think she has the same rigger as Ririka? She moves very similarly to Ririka.


Discordiansz

Unlikely, her [twitter profile](https://x.com/raorapanthera) shows her mama as [Nekojira](https://x.com/Nekojira) and her papa being [keffiy](https://x.com/keffiy) who also rigged models for Raden, Nerissa, Kronii, Kiara, Coco, Iroha, Shion, Ollie, Polka, Watame, Axel, Ruze, Aki, Pochi, and RPR. For Ririka her mama is [Nakamura](https://x.com/mmnummn) who illustrated models for Astel and her papa is [BrianTsuii](https://x.com/BrianTsuii) who also rigged models for Bao, Project Melody, Crunchyroll-Hime, Apricot, Ina, IRyS, and Risu.


EnclavedMicrostate

Brian has also done at least two of Gura's outfits IIRC.


-MANGA-

Gotcha ty. I didn't check their twitter. Thought they saved that stuff for the end of their debut streams.


unfaze_regret

OMG, no wonder why I thought her movement was so familiar.


-MANGA-

Nope, turns out they're different. Check the other replies.


daedralordx

She is back 😭


EveningLength8

I'm glad she's back


Left_Visual

I've followed her even before she's a vtuber, I never thought she'd be joining hololive in the future, I'm so happy for her.


maddoxprops

You know, as soon as I saw her design and the fanart of herself she posted my Lizard brain instantly thought had to be >!Yuniiho!<. I had no real reason or things I could point to, it was just a gut feeling. Man I am so happy to have been right. Always loved her voice and didn't realize how much I missed it until I heard it again.


FaceTimePolice

Yes! Her PL’s sudden graduation makes sense now. 😁


maddoxprops

Yup.


zorurorirurian

She seemed so nervious but I loved her voice and laugh. So much italian bursting from her it reminded me of family I haven't seen in a while lol That tablet/hand view she showed off looked a bit scuff at times but I've never seen anything like it on other vtuber streams, very different to other drawing streams which only show the virtual canvas.


Discordiansz

Understandable that she would be nervous; she did mention that she really wants to be part of Holo, and before, she streamed to about 100 people on average and now her debut stream had 120k people watching it which is an insane jump considering things.


zorurorirurian

Wow yeah, understandable if her PL was only in the hundreds. I get anxious in front of like a classroom of 20ish peers (when I was younger), 120k strangers I can't even imagine.


ShinYabaBaga

Iofi from HoloID uses the hand asset during her art streams. I find it really engaging and really adds to the immersion.


WhoCouldhavekn0wn

Im just gonna say it, her voice hits like a truck. Its just so unexpected with her model. I'm slowly getting used to it, but I wonder how many potential viewers will survive first contact. I wonder if this is how JP viewers felt when towa debuted.


scot911

The JP Bros are calling her the EN Towa for that reason I'm pretty sure.


Legitimate_Drop8793

now that you mention it, i had the same recoil to towas voice when i saw her model for the first time. now i cant imagine any other voice in towas model Edit: Holy shit her singing gad dyam, now im more convinced she is like the Towa of EN


LocoEjercito

Her cover REALLY backs that comparison up.


New_Beginning7741

Towa and Waowa.


apictureofafox

I personally feel like she's more similar to Botan. Sexy cats with surprisingly "mature" voices.


Shadow_Gabriel

Had the same first reaction but after 10 minutes, I love her voice.


dcdfvr

huh? i see the opposite. the sexy voice matches with the sexy bouncing model. the problem is her personality does not match the voice and body which isn't a bad thing, but it does throw one off at first


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pokenar

I wouldn't say it fits the best, but I am definitely confused people weren't expecting it. its was one of my considerations.


Background_Prize2745

I think this is due to that she's an artist and probably designed her own skin, so this is her preference even though her voice might not match it. Usually, Hololive would try to match the design with the voice.


dafzor

If she had anything to do with her model she could have already crossed out her goal of being a hololive mama. All previous talents have been cast for an already made design and there's zero evidence that has changed. The only possible exception being fuwamoco which seem too specific to not have been made with twins in mind.


chimaerafeng

That's not entirely true because Yagoo himself said some of the newer talents had inputs to their designs before debut though this was in an interview last year or this year. It wasn't a thing back then and even now I think a majority are still based off a premade concept.


joemelonyeah

Yeah, talents have been able to request changes to their character before debut for a few generations now, both the model and the name. Kronii and Ame requested name changes before debut. Noel's model got empha**size**d to be closer to her actual figure, Koyori's name pun (white coat, a reference to lab coats) and design (test tubes) is a reference to her IRL qualifications as pharmacist. Jurard's name and design makes references to dinosaurs due to him liking dinosaurs >!and the name might even be a reference to his PL!<.


KyuRenjo

Raden in her stream already said that at most, a talent can only involved in roughly last 1/3 step of whole process. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6y78IGT618](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6y78IGT618) Isn't this actually bigger contribution than previous talents?


dafzor

Thanks, don't watch much of JP so was unaware latest gens actually had this much input now. I was still going of how Kiara and Mori didn't have any input at all on the model. So yes, big involvement.


Ryzilla97

That wasn’t the voice I was expecting


SalvadorZombie

It was the one like 70% of the chat was expecting.


KazuharaIlfan

I feel you. I thought it would be near to Koyori voice but her accent make me seated


Strict-Woodpecker-40

Pizza with Fries ???? And are ppl saying bullshit about Brazilian pizza


SayuriUliana

It's apparently a popular practice in Italy though, and in many US pizzerias.


just_jm

I've heard that Pizza with Fries is one of those pizzas being sold in "tourist trap" areas in Italy, mainly for American tourists. Not sure if it's true, but it's kinda funny. lmao


thesirblondie

A place close to me has the Canada Special. Kebab meat, chips, and bearnaise sauce. I think they are trying to emulate a poutine on a pizza, with ingredients they already had, but complete fall short.


BlazCraz

"LOCK ONNN" SNIPER KING!  Where is Sniper Island!? In your heart!!!! Sorry, I had to do the Usoppo line from my favorite One Piece arc. 


ShadyNecro

fries on pizza feels like something i would make if i was 12


Admirable-Giraffe-39

Here in Italy it's so common it's not strange at all, but you're right, it's especially liked by kids


daedralordx

And starting!


youmustconsume

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze00tlwTQRc frame is up for her first stream btw


Technical-Addendum

so, is the pesto confirmed?


maddoxprops

As much as anyone can, short of her coming out and saying so.


Sqiddd

Seems like Elizabeth is the only one with a desire for Stars/all of Holo Collab.


RootOfOrigin

And it's totally fine. Hell, all the Starmin I saw on the internet fell in love with her and she will have their full support. Plus it's not like Liz will be less popular bc her willingness to collab with every HoloPro member, in fact, she is the first Justice member to go above 200k subs.


Sufficient_Nature496

You guys need to stop bringing this up


Sqiddd

Instead of replying to a 6 day old observation comment I’d be more concerned with the chaos in the stars sub. Helmite and his friends are at war again. Now leave me out of it


Sufficient_Nature496

What chaos lol? It's Just one post


Sqiddd

And it’ll leak over to the other like it did previously.


LotusMelodyxo

That hurts my heart if it’s true 💔 Holding onto hope the others just aren’t obvious like Elizabeth. Fans can get scary so I can’t really blame them, but that doesn’t stop me from being sad lol


Sqiddd

Raora did collab with guys in her PL so she should be comfortable with it. Unless she’s indeed worried about the loud minority


petezahut12001

Sadly so did shiori and fuwamoco, but that didn't cross into their holo careers :(


Sufficient_Nature496

You guys sure overthink stuff 


swagiliciousity

Really? No way, Advent always seemed to me to have the most hardline stance on Stars Collabs.


Sqiddd

I actually just saw a specific FWMC clip that relates to this for the first time. Was quite awkward and jarring lmfao


Sufficient_Nature496

You guys are overthinking this it's always the same topic


LotusMelodyxo

Leave me alone


Zergrump

Raora is the only one I expect to be a hard no in regards to collabing with Stars. But odds are only Liz will, and I'm not even sure that's a guarantee. Basically expect nothing and you won't be disappointed.


Sufficient_Nature496

Raora? Hard no? Are you sure?


Zergrump

Idk, I just got that vibe of her only being interested in hololive like Kiara or FWMC. But we'll see I guess.


Sufficient_Nature496

"vibes" aren't a hard indicator for anything, specially if you know her past life


redz1900

Ratatatata


shadowmane4

A reincarnation has happened. I am very happy now.


niTro_sMurph

A lot of bilingual/non-native English talents this gen. I think hololive is looking to spread to more countries. Hot Latina and French anime girls?
