DELUTAYA Δ.

DELUTAYA Δ. is a Japanese VTuber who primarily makes singing and gaming related content.
==Content==
DELUTAYA Δ's channel was made in 2015, but her first video was uploaded on January 8, 2021, which was an hour and a half long stream of her introducing herself and talking about life and interests. The stream also featured her first song cover, of KING - Kanaria. Her upload schedule was rather sparse, with her next video being uploaded after three months and her streams having gaps of weeks in between them. However, she streams mostly on Fanbox.
The first game she played was Biohazard and on July 11th, she released the full cover and music video of KING,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSCeOuyQEQk which was praised by other VTubers such as Pasha Lovarian and Bao. In late 2020, she would produce her first original song, KOKORO - RAIN_STOP.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq2zfBMwTWc
She was in the hospital for a few weeks during August 2021, and decided to take September off to mentally recover. On the first day of 2022, she held a karaoke stream of various J-POP songs.

===Legal issues with Mikeniko===
On October 2020, Delutaya published the following post on her Fanbox: "Everyone, thank you always for giving me words of encouragement and kind messages. This post is about a rumor related to me that began to spread in the later part of last month. As I don't like to make my usual fans feel uneasy, I thought about whether to post this or not. However, it would be bad to allow the speculations to continue, so I'm providing a brief report.
In the later part of September, the vtuber mikeneko, on her own stream, stated, "A particular female independent streamer made some bad remarks/slander (about Mikeneko) to a gossip streamer" or something to that effect. While she did not explicitly state the name of the streamer in question, she stated it with a wording that allowed one to contextually understand she was referring to me. From this, some people got the wrong idea that “Perhaps Delutaya is the culprit?”.
I have no memory of this and was very shocked. Since then, I've been receiving DMs including both questions about this case and slander. Wanting to solve this before it grew into something bigger, I contacted Mikeneko directly saying that I wanted to talk in order to clear up the misunderstanding.
When I did, Mikeneko informed me that she heard it directly from a gossip streamer himself via voice chat and that she has video evidence of it. She stated that she won't hand over the video to anyone but, if this turns into a court case, she will provide it. Mikeneko held her stance that I had been speaking ill of her, and, even though I just wanted to talk it out, I was told that she wouldn't speak with me unless I had a lawyer.
I don't know what kind of video evidence it is, but, if this misunderstanding spreads, it will end up troubling me. I had not been considering legal action, but, as Mikeneko said she would share the evidence with me through lawyers, I sent a commission to a law firm and had them contact Mikeneko's legal advisor.
However, Mikeneko, refused all contact and replied exclusively with "I'm not lying" and "I can't cooperate in regards to sharing the video evidence. She even blocked me on Twitter.
It's very perplexing to me, but, in order to work out the misunderstanding on my own, the only thing I can do is to release information, so I made this statement. However, I want to avoid spreading new speculation, so I have no intention of mentioning this case again.
Going forward, I want to continue my activities as a content creator as I have been. I would love it if everyone would continue to support me from now on, too."https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/comments/y9lv7t/delutaya_threatening_legal_action_against/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmfhttps://deluta.fanbox.cc/posts/4626599
Mikeniko also made a post about the situation on her Fanbox, which said "Hello, all of a sudden, I got a lot of calls and checked it out. I'm in trouble because speculation is born again because my name was given without permission. 
Now I will tell the lawyer first, not dogmatic action. Please let me report again. I don't know if it's okay to talk about things that aren't written, so I'll keep quiet what I want to talk about for now. 
We will deal with the other party in the direction of taking legal action. Sorry for worrying you"https://mikenekoko.fanbox.cc/posts/4626998https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/comments/y9lv7t/comment/it6f7xg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
