Takanashi Kiara Ch. hololive-EN

Kiara Takanashi (birthday: 6 July) is an Austrian VTuber affiliated with Hololive as part of its first generation of English-speaking VTubers, HoloMyth, alongside Gura Gawr, Ina'nis Ninomae, Amelia Watson and Calliope Mori.https://twitter.com/takanashikiara/status/1544513464357601280
==Content==
She debuted on September 12, 2020, introducing herself and her interests. She revealed that her goals were releasing original music, for people to make fanart or cosplay of her, collaborations with games, anime or conventions among others and opening a fast food restuarant. As of 2021, all of these sans the latter have been accomplished. 
The first game she streamed was Fall Guys.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCfoY3v9EWA&ab_channel=TakanashiKiaraCh.hololive-EN Two days later she reached 100,000 subscribers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNkmluT1nzo&ab_channel=TakanashiKiaraCh.hololive-EN She would then go on to stream several other games such as Elden Ring, Among Us, Fire Emblem, Kraven Manor, Garctic Phone, UNO, The Sims 4, Biomutant, It Takes Two, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda, Overcooked 2, Papers, please, Phasmophobia, Mario Kart, Groove Coaster, Little Nightmares, Shin Megami Tensei V, Mario Party Superstars, Outlast, Warioware, Tales of Luminaria, Tales of Arise, Atlier Ryza 2, Age of Empires II, Diablo II, The Henry Stickmin Collection, We Were Here Together, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, World of Warcraft, Blue Archive, HoloCure, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, The Stanley Parable, Stray, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and NieR: Automata. Sometimes her streams were dedicated to talking about games and not playing them (for example, ranking the waifus from Arknights), or dedicated to talking about KFP.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEiVBJ0RuBE
In her early streams Kiara would deliberately utilize a "seiso" persona; this was later dropped in favour of her natural loud and overconfident personality. She would also claim to be "Australian" (a pun on her actual country of origin), though many people saw through it since she was a native German speaker. 
She is somewhat skilled in drawing, once hosting a stream dedicated to painting,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kLDBwnI-xQ and though her loading screen, introduction video and narration were made by Calliope, while Kiara made the art. In addition, when streaming Minecraft with her mother, the illustrations of her mother on the thumbnails were done by Kiara herself. 
Kiara is also a musician and likes to cover songs, such as Goodbye Declaration - Chizono, Vampire - DECO*27 and 4BLOOD - KIRA. She released an original song, Hinotori, in November of 2020.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDfMDkgheQY&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=TakanashiKiaraCh.hololive-EN On Valentines Day, Kiara announced her second original song, Heart Challenger.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDfMDkgheQY&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=TakanashiKiaraCh.hololive-EN Her third original song, Sparks, was released on her birthday in 2021.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq9eqHDKJPE As of late 2021, she has started to host piano streams, starting with a sad remix of her original song Sparks. She also hosts karaoke streams, where she will sing in English, German and Japanese, sometimes holding streams specifically for anime songs. 
She is also somewhat of an educational channel as she teaches her genmates her native language German, as she hails from Austria. She even taught Gura some Russian and Japanese, and has streams dedicated to learning Korean. 
Regarding Austria, she also makes videos about cooking dishes from there, and also reads German fairytales.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAKdblGa_Bk She has also stated to make a lot of baking/cooking streams as of late 2021. 
In 2021 she began hosting concert watchalongs of her fellow Hololive members. She also reacts to her KFP wearing fashion merchandise.https://twitter.com/takanashikiara/status/1498421691533438985/photo/1
In 2022, Kiara would begin reviewing snacks from foreign countries, starting with Korean snacks, and then moving on to Guatamelan, Spanish, Italian, American, Australian, French and Swedish snacks. 
===KFP 101===
In this series, Kiara explains in-jokes and recaps her history for newcomers to her fandom.
===Termination===
On December 9th, 2020, Kiara's channel was suddenly terminated, although it was reinstated that next day. She was the first Hololive member to have her channel terminated, and then restored (other Hololive VTubers who have had the same issue include Miko, Marine, and Iofi). Because of her termination, she hosted a "re-debut stream" where she stated that because she was a phoenix, she could come back from the dead.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le72UNZAbQI
In late February 2021, the channel shadowbanned and two months worth of content, including her second original song were removed. It was lifted a month later, and Kiara celebrated by making a third debut stream entirely in her native tongue.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=256oUA4TtYk
==Collaborations==
At the start of her VTuber career, Kiara and Calli were the only HoloEN members residing in Japan, and as a result they collaborated more than anyone. A running gag is Kiara's "yandere" crush on Calliope, to the point she created The Sims characters based on the two, banned the word "AmeMori" (the ship between Amelia and Mori) in her chat, frequently gets jealous when Mori gives attention to someone else and when she was live reading the yuri manga Bloom Into You, it featured Mori. Kiara even received her microphone from Calliope.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTSIHzfiSsQ 
However Calliope usually reacts with disgust and anger and calls Kiara "kusotori" (Japanese for "shitbird"). She enjoys insulting Kiara and making her suffer, like making Kiara sing the infamously terrible German "Believe It" Naruto OP though later the two would duet the song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgpIjHKiRCw But in real life, she has admitted that this is purely for comedic effect and she really isn't bothered by Kiara, and if she was, she would tell her.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it5l7KVghzs&t=12434s 
Gura and Calli have been featured in her song covers too, and she has taught the former Russian. Kiara has referred to herself as Gura's "mom".https://twitter.com/takanashikiara/status/1364821115546165250 She has also referred to herself as Ame and Ina's mom, with Calliope as the "dad". 
In Fall of 2021, Kiara would actually admit that she couldn't go on with the ship anymore because she felt the gag was getting old and taking over most of her streams compared to her actual content; nevertheless the two were still good friends and had collabs scheduled.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtHjpt1f7tE
Due to her fluency in the Japanese language, Kiara tends to collaborate a lot with other VTubers. Her first collaboration (outside any HoloEN member) was with Subaru, when the two played Untitled Goose Game together. They used the hashtag #Holobirds for this, and would repeat this tag for collaborating with any bird-themed Hololive VTuber, such as Mumei and Reine. Her mascot, Kotori, was drawn by Ina. On Holotalk, Kiara revealed Fubuki introduced her to Hololive. Kiara was both the last guest of Reddit Shitpost Review with Coco as the host, and the first guest with Akai Haato as the host. 
Kiara has also played Dead by Daylight with Gura and watched Cats with Ina'nis. In her debut stream, she revealed Pekora to be her favorite senpai. Kiara would later become a member of Usada Kensetsu. While playing Minecraft once, she got extremely angry at Moona for being close to Pekora and acted like a "yandere" towards her, however later she thanked Moona for playing along and humoring her.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0im6ocMUvM
As of late 2020-early 2021, Ina'nis and Kiara have been collaborating a lot, covering Whatever Whatever Whatever - Neru and practicing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe together. Kiara and Ame have also covered Dreamin Chuchu - emon together.https://youtu.be/vjBZzYN3aAs The two played Valkyrie Connect together since they were sponsored by it and designed costumes for Holocouncil as well.
As Kiara was leaving Japan for Austria, she asked the Kiara Fan Club how to transfer her desktop and was told to ask Botan Shishiro. Even though Botan helped her, Kiara admitted that she was embarrassed on how their first interaction was about her asking for help rather than something cordial. She also held a stream where she taught Flare German since she was interested in the country and its culture.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfVxId3_65I
Shortly before the debut of Kronii Ouro, Kiara declared herself one as of her fans and later the two would play Diablo II together. In January 2022, the two would host a collab where Kronii would teach her Korean since it was her native tongue. Kiara already had some grasp of the language due to hosting a Korean language learning stream a year prior. Though she is a KroniMei shipper, Kiara also ships herself with Kronii's male version Krono.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajYTxHXaTfE Kiara has also held a Korean-language learning stream with Nabi.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0P66wRbIWo
Kiara and Mumei are close as well. When Kiara covered Vampire - DECO*27, Mumei commented "I am good at making blood, you can have some!". She also taught Kiara swear words in a Minecraft stream.
She has also played Phasmophobia and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes with Baelz Hakos. 
With the debut of HoloX, Kiara and Koyori played Unravel Twohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHpUrSf9dWw and covered ニュートンダンス - ナユタン星人 × Chinozo (初音ミク & FloweR)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8NiwUykf8U together.
Post her debut, Kobo Kanaeru revealed that her oshi was Kiara.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8HKcKH1a5M The two played Portal 2 together and Kobo calls her "mommy". Kobo, Kiara and Watame have covered Pittari Shitai X-mas - プッチモニ.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW_0FOYCvjs 
In May 2022, Kiara and Reine went on a vacation to the Maldives. During this time they held chatting streams, Q&A streams and karaoke streams together, and even streamed the games Super Smash Bros. Ultimate together. After their vacation they covered the English version of Animal - DECO*27.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNBdITatp8Y
Kiara also participated in the HoloENxID Mario Kart tournament and the HoloEN/JP/ID Among Us collaboration. She took part in the HoloEN Among Us tournament as well.
Her original song, Hinotori, has been remixed twice, once with Astrophysicshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfLWYoBdkUE and second with Lone Alpha.https://64.media.tumblr.com/588fd0cef7cb109f6836cfa489d1c595/566093b42f3a48ab-a2/s500x750/113e9ea0a3e3dde6043ebd3020339f25072ecb7c.jpg
Outside of Hololive, she appeared in one of Tamaki Inuyama's interview streams. She has also expressed a desire to collab with Pomu Rainpuff, though this has yet to happen. However Pomu's bag was featured in Kiara's Holobags stream, and on October 16, 2022, she and Pomu scheduled a VRChat collab together.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtRj5RGlMHA&t=2329shttps://twitter.com/takanashikiara/status/1581638296970887168/photo/1 In March 2023, Kiara would collaborate with Nina Kosaka, and appear on her show Mornings with Fox Mom.https://twitter.com/takanashikiara/status/1636729072788045824https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1FfaYk24ss
In 2022, Kiara taught IRyS German to help her prepare for the DoKomi 2022 convention. The two appeared in it together.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u740WgBr39M
On August 3, 2022, Kiara was interviewed by Crunchyroll.https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2022/08/03-1/interview-hololives-takanashi-kiara-on-bridging-languages-and-countries-through-vtubing In a later interview, she revealed her Top 10 anime to be Wagnaria!!!, Penguindrum, Steins;Gate, A Certain Scientific Railgun, the Monogatari series, The Familiar of Zero, Guren Lagann, Minami-ke, Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens and Nichijou - My Ordinary Life.https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2022/08/03/recs-vtuber-takanashi-kiaras-top-10-favorite-anime
In December 2022, Kiara travelled to Japan and met Fauna, Mumei and Baelz in real life for the first time. Others present at this off-collab were Calliope and Reine. This six attended a karaoke bar and went to a restaurant together.https://twitter.com/takanashikiara/status/1609576752875208705/photo/1
In April 2023, Kiara collaborated with Neuro-sama.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayqQTwnfDjk
===HoloTALK===
She is also the host of her own show HOLOTALK with Takanashi Kiara. It is a show that is hosted every 2 weeks, where Kiara will usually interview a Hololive member and talk about various subjects. Fans can submit questions they want to ask via superchats or requests.
Sometimes Kiara will interview people outside of Hololive, like Tales of Arise creator Yusuke Tomizawa.

===Character designer===
Prior to joining Hololive, she was a huge fan of the anime Steins; Gate, and was elated to hear that her character designer would be huke, someone who had worked on that anime. He is known for appearing her chat and making comments mocking/trolling her, for example during HoloMyth's second collaboration stream, the girls made an "alignment chart" mapping their intelligence and purity and huke said that Kiara should be at the very bottom of both axes as she is dumb and perverted. 
=== Mother ===
Her mother (dubbed "Mamatori" by Kiara's fans) also watches her videos and is supportive of her VTuber career, and the two occasionally play Minecraft together. Mamatori is an avid Minecraft player who has years of experience in constructing buildings. It was thanks to her that Kiara rebuilt Phoenixton.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtmpgWGZe9Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-wK5vET8WM. Mamatori nicknames Kiara "birdie". 
== Design ==
Her character designer is Huke and her modeler is keffiy.https://www.youtube.com/live/uObh73QZUvg?feature=share&t=942 She is 165cm tall.https://www.youtube.com/live/uObh73QZUvg?feature=share&t=851
Kiara's blue feather "earrings" are in fact not earrings, but feathers which come from behind her ears. However, she also has a small blue stud piercing in her left ear.
==Lore==
An idol whose dream is to become the owner of a fast food chain. Kiara is a phoenix, not a chicken or turkey. (Very important) 
She burns brightly, working herself to the bone since she'll just be reborn from her ashes anyway.https://hololive.hololivepro.com/en/talents/takanashi-kiara/
===KFP===
Kiara is the owner and manager of KFP, a fast food organization that uses unethical practices on its workers - for example, she sends insubordinate employees to "The Usual Room", a torture cellar with a sterile white background, lego bricks on the floor, reeducation terminals, flashing red lights, speakers blaring Sparks on loop, televsion sets with flickering images of Kiara and a blackboard that reads "WATCH ONLY ME". Kiara also sends employees who discover company secrets there, as well anyone who she wants to threaten into submission. In addition, Kiara doesn't pay her employees. Most profits made from the company fund Chonkers' and Smoothie's caretaking expenses .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSmaOFFhSpshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aie_i5Er8shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mksLdZwP1qchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79lMZ3oV3D4 
KFP has ramps so that employees may Naruto run down them. During every season, the office changes appearances. KFP has also expanded from a restaurant to an airline service and a dancing school.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK5BcSYh70shttps://youtu.be/kV5JrOYPGhM 
On September 17, 2020, Kiara announced the menu for the fried chicken branch, Kiara Fried Phoenix. 
Meal 	Ingredients
Phoenix Burger	Chicken meat, salad, pineapple, BBQ sauce, onions, tomato, bacon, and mozzarella cheese
Yagoo burger 	Two beef patties, salad, pickles, egg, cheddar cheese, secret seiso sauce, and onion rings
Kiara's fandom have tried to recreate them in real life.
In January 2022, Kiara revealed that the goal of KFP was to blow up the earthhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXBt-61jCXQ&t=256s.
===Other===
* As a phoenix, she is reborn every few centuries, and is unable to be killed or controlled by Calliope. She can switch between human and phoenix forms with her belt, because of this she is prohibited from using it. Even her cats are "phoenix cats".
*Kiara's hair ignites into flames when she is angry. As a child, in school, to hide this she would dunk her head in the toilet. She carries a debt of €500,000 in unpaid fines due to her penchat of accidentally setting off fire alarms. However she managed to secure investment to launch KFP by "just not telling anyone".
*She can speak "bird".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCBSzmSLoOc
*She eats 53 pieces of chicken per day.
*While she has yet to reveal her birthdate, she has revealed that her birthday, 6 July, also falls on National Fried Chicken Day in the United States and her age is "eternal"https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=683&v=uObh73QZUvg&feature=youtu.be. 
*The chicken KFP employee who serves as DJ on Kiara's stage scene is named D. Chicken.
**In a Mario Kart stream, she said she had been "making KFP proud since 9000 BCE".
*On April Fools Day 2022, Kiara held a stream revealing that she had lived for over 3000 years, and now was a grandma, "Kibaba". She also revealed that she had adopted 229 more cats, including an alien from Mars, and one other cat named "Bonkers". In the stream she made a number of predictions, including:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ltacbmiHMI 
**HoloMyth wearing matching pajamas while meeting in Japan (her favourite memory), releasing her original album, hosting a holomyth concert featuring slowed emotional version of Journey of a Thousand Years, and a Kiara solo live concert.
**Despite hololive being shut down by a mysterious organization, HoloEN was still thriving: KFP had bought out Twitter and replaced the blue bird logo with Kotori, and SnapChat, Tiktok and Instagram were shut down, Gura looked like an adult and became the Atlantisian President, Calliope repented, left hell and became an angel, Ame joined hololive management but time travelled to hang out with aliens, Ina'nis lives with Kiara and Kiara cooks for her so she doesn't just eat cup noodles and sleep on the floor and Yagoo commutes between Heaven and Hell because he's looking for someone in particular. No one found the cause of the EN curse.
*Kiara has been incarnated many times, and in one of her past lives, she was Marie Antoinette and befriended Mozart.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddl4jACwT0c
==Controversy==
===Clippers===
A clipping channel, Kami Clips HololiveEN Clips - 神クリップ, took a clip of Kiara out of context and painted it as if the mangement of Hololive was holding her back from a collaboration. He also had a history of clickbait and lying for drama, as well as deliberately making Kiara look bad in his thumbnails.https://old.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/qgbq90/everyone_please_avoids_this_channel/https://imgur.com/zd5S6kD Even Kiara herself called the channel out.
In February 2022, Amelia, Gura, Ina'nis, Kronii, Mumei and Fauna would meet in real life for the first time. Kiara couldn't be in the collab due to residing in Austria (Calliope, Sana and Baelz couldn't make it either due to residing out of North America). Kiara expressed her sadness about not being able to make it. Kami would once take the clip out of context once again and paint Kiara as angry at the other girls for collaborating without her, taking advantage of the fact that English was not her first language. Kiara would criticize him for this and clarify her stance in a comment left under his video.https://twitter.com/s_24mp/status/1498714974604390401/photo/1
Many commenters critisized Kami and later he deleted the videohttps://twitter.com/VTuberCringe/status/1498704321223053314/photo/1. He would make a Twitlonger in an attempt to clear his name but he received more backlash, especially as he didn't address the comment.https://twitter.com/VTuberCringe/status/1499657269851693056/photo/2

===In-jokes/memes===
*Since her character designer consistently appears in her chat and praises her, he is referred to as her doting papa.
*Since Kiara takes a long time to read superchats, they take up a considerably large part of her streams. It's to the point some chickens look forward to them rather than watching the streams, and say that when she reads superchats it's when the real stream starts. They have also been referred tp as chatting streams due to Kiara often going on tangents.
*Calli pronouncing her opening phrase as "Kicky Ricky" has also been memed a lot.
*Kiara's love of rickrolling, such as the time she rickrolled Gura during a Japanese lesson.
*Referring to KFP employees as chickens after Gura pranked Kiara.
*Referring to KFP as a "cult", or Kiara as a Yakuza mafia leader. 
**Kiara firing the KFP over trivial things such as not letting her win Mario Kart, or threatening them, like in one Among Us stream.https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/jie2ex/kiaras_first_time_as_an_impostor/
**Kiara threatening her chat with art assets of weaponry from the game Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
*Kiara once moved to a new house during her stay in Japan, and due to hearing random noises, she said she thought a ghost was living in it. It was actually a mouse, but her chat had already named the ghost "Caspar". "Caspar" also ate a packet of her favorite Milka chocolate and a mousehole in reference to him appears in Kiara's loading screen.
*"Ok, but..."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeKVKtq6EdE
*Kiara once reacted to her TV Tropes page and was shocked by all the tropes recorded by it, particularly one where she was described as "aggresively gay". This has led to a rise of KFP referring to her with that phrasehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUrXEvJhOGY. They also refer to her as "bottom left", though Kiara has expressed frustration with it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Bg1-dfIUQ
*Unsurprisingly, due to her Austrian heritage, she is compared with a certain dictator who rose to power in the 1920s. Not helped when she once referred to chickens as the "superior race" without realizing the implications.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C_WySg3Sx8
*Chat requesting Rammstein songs during karaoke streams (even if the stream is dedicated to anime songs). This has led to Kiara being frustrated and telling her chat she'll never sing Rammstein songshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMS9zJLX0o. Though she did sing Du Hast despite not knowing its lyrics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPuPQIeYHcI
*During her 3D Debut, Kiara kicked her leg to a high height, leading to parodies such as thishttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/835224931247194202/955390050764480512/IMG_20220321_135748.jpg and this.https://twitter.com/shirakamifubuki/status/1505499357608493056/photo/1 Kiara's fans would nickname this the "Kikkerikick". Similarly, edits of otherhttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/835224931247194202/955047528619999262/IMG_20220320_110019.jpg poses have also been made.
===Discredited/dead memes===
*In July 2021, Kiara announced in a stream that she no longer wishes to be called "bottom left"; she also took down the bottom left emoji from her member emotes.
*When she met her real-life friend and her brother for the first time, the brother expressed confusion about Kiara being "Australian". Because of this Kiara doesn't like the Australia joke anymore.
