Kana

Kana Kamiko, better known online as kana, is an independent American VTuber who, despite formerly mainly streaming on YouTube, emigrated to Twitch in late September 2021, while reserving her main channel for miscellaneous videos.
==History==
Kana first joined YouTube on February 11, 2020 and her main channel was originally 神狐かな Kamiko Kana Channel. For unknown reasons, she was locked out of it, so she turned her backup channel into her current main one. 
While independent at debut, she joined Tsunderia on June 23, 2020, however she left a year later, in February 2021https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQy0ut00JBk&t=309s due to unknown reasons, though she said that she liked being independent rather than affiliated with any agency.
Her channel was previously named Kana Kamiko (神狐かな) and Kana Ch. 神狐かな.

Kana makes ASMRs as well, and likes to upload memes, shitposts and shorts. 
On September 21, 2021, she privated most of her videos and announced she was moving to Twitch as she felt more comfortable there compared to most YouTube restrictions, as well as Twitch being suited to her schedule. She used her main channel on YouTube for shitposts, and stated that she would remain active on social media.
==Design==
Kana's original design and features were all illustrated by herself, but she commisoned Amashiro Natsuki to design her current one. Natsuki is also the designer of Gura Gawr, Luto Araka, Naname Gokigen, Akami Karubi, Kona Draki and Detarame-chan. 
In June 2021, Amashiro and Kana had a disagreement (described by Kana as "communication failures") and it resulted in Kana cutting all ties with her and instead commisoning artist Henreader to create her future designs and models. 
Her 3D model was made by DDMavishttps://twitter.com/68656c70_, and her current rigger has deliberately asked to keep their identity confidential. KenCreator made her 3D model which was also rigged by 2wintailshttps://twitter.com/KenCreator/status/1539851734259945473/photo/1. 
==Lore==
Kana is still a baby in the eyes of other foxes despite being over a hundred years old. They consider her mature for her age, being able to comprehend taxes and capitalism. She lives a solitary lifestyle (like most foxes) but is extremely playful. She gets agoraphobic around crowds and prefers staying in her room (similar to the "hikikomori" lifestyle), though she is most comfortable socializing in one-on-one conversations or talking with chat. Her ears can hear audio frequencies higher than 20,000hz.
