All good things, both real and virtual, must come to an end. English VTuber Gawr Gura, who is affiliated with Cover Corp’s Hololive English, is set to “graduate” (i.e. retire) on May 1, 2025.
The news comes via a statement from Hololive which reads:
Since her debut as a member of hololive English -Myth- five years ago, Gura has touched the hearts of fans around the world, become a beloved face for VTubing in its early stages, and played an instrumental role in the growth of hololive production. To all the fans who have shown their unwavering love and support, we sincerely thank you. While we understand that this news may be difficult for many, we deeply respect and support Gura’s decision as she begins her next chapter. We are endlessly grateful for Gura’s remarkable contributions and wish her nothing but success and happiness on her journey forward.
Gawr Gura also announced the news on a live YouTube stream, stating in part:
This has been a very long time coming… my reasons being disagreements with management and company direction. I am so lucky and so thankful for each and every one of you to the opportunities given to me and for the almost 5 years we’ve been able to spend together.
Gawr Gura, also known as Same-chan, debuted in September 2020 and reached 1 million subscribers about a month later. She became the first VTuber to reach 4 million subscribers in 2022.
