Hololive ホロライブ - VTuber Group

Hololive is a Japanese VTuber company with branches around the world. Its parent company is Cover Corporation. Initially, the name Hololive was used for Cover's 3D stream distribution app, and the company itself merged with Holostars. Combining all VTubers under their name, Hololive has over 50 million subscribers.
== History ==
=== Origins ===
hololive was launched by Motoaki "YAGOO" Tanigo on June 13, 2016, originally as a VR software, but as the technology progressed and they realized they were able to produce virtual avatars, they decided to create a VTuber agency, with their first talent, Sora Tokino, debuting later. Tanigo cites Kizuna AI and Miku Hatsune as influences, though the idea for an idol group was inspired by AKB48.
hololive's headquarters are in Chuo, Tokyo, Japan.
=== Success ===
After the success of their Japanese branches, hololive would open up branches in China and Indonesia. In 2020, being inspired by their bilingual, American talent Coco Kiryu, they would debut an English-speaking branch, later known as HoloMyth, which would put their name in mainstream pop culture. HoloEN inspired many other agencies in the West and is cited as the most popular VTuber group of all time. Shortly after their debuts, one of their talents, Gura Gawr, quickly became the most subscribed VTuber in the world, dethroning Kizuna AI as the most subbed VTuber.
Many hololive talents such as Coco, Rushia, Calliope, Pekora, and Kiara are some of the most superchatted VTubers of all time due to their large audience. Calliope Mori's rap songs would often debut at #1 in Japanese/Western rap and hip-hop charts. In addition, Pekora Usada won the topic award in the Game Streamers Awards 2021https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/sunqa2/pekora_won_the_topic_award_on_the_game_streamers/. The talents of Hololive also engage in sponsorships and deals with companies such as Bandai Namco.
