Minato Aqua<\/strong>, a 2nd generation hololive<\/strong> VTuber who debuted in August 2018, will graduate on August 28, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

A graduation livestream is planned for August 28, along with merchandise sales, a special program on hololive\u2019s official channel, and a \u201cspecial feature\u201d on Aqua\u2019s own channel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo all fans and related parties, we sincerely apologize for this sudden announcement. We <\/span>app<\/a>reciate the warm support you have given Aqua until now, and we are truly grateful from the <\/span>bottom of our hearts,\u201d COVER Corporation<\/strong> wrote in an official statement. \u201c<\/span>Minato Aqua has been one of the members pivotal in contributing to the growth of hololive <\/span>production from its early days, serving as part of hololive\u2019s 2nd Generation for approximately six <\/span>years.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

COVER added that it was \u201csincerely grateful for her contributions\u201d and would \u201ccontinue to support her fully until her graduation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

COVER will stop accepting fan letters for Aqua after September 6 JST, while details about membership subscriptions and content will be addressed elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aqua announced and addressed her graduation in a livestream that can be found here<\/a>. The text in the video says that clips, transcriptions, and screenshots of it are not allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aqua is the first hololive member to graduate since hololive English\u2019s Tsukumo Sana <\/strong>in 2022, and the first Japanese branch hololive member to graduate since Kiryu Coco<\/strong> in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her graduation marks the latest departure from COVER this year. 2024 has also seen the terminations of hololive\u2019s Yozora Mel<\/strong> and HOLOSTARS\u2019 Hizaki Gamma<\/strong>, as well as the departure of senior staff member A-chan\/Friend A <\/strong>over family reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Houshou Marine<\/strong>, a 3rd generation hololive VTuber who often jokingly describes herself as Aqua\u2019s mother (a bit that Aqua also plays along with), tweeted that she would never have thought of joining hololive had Aqua not been there, and that Aqua\u2019s plentiful advice to her caused her to think about aiming for the top. Marine ended the post<\/a> by writing, \u201cAquaMarine will forever be mother and daughter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
