Hololive (ホロライブ, stylized as hololive) is the all-girl VTuber group created by Cover Corp.
The name originally referred to the streaming app developed by Cover Corp before being used for its all-female VTuber agency. Hololive is currently one of the biggest VTuber agency in the world with some of the most subscribed, watched and superchatted VTuber channels on Youtube.
== Predecessor ==
In 2017, Motoaki Tanigo and Ikko Fukuda created a two-way livestreaming app that allows to viewers to view virtual livestream using AR technology. Hirota, Minoru (19 May 2017). "'Dare de mo bishōjo' no mirai ni mata ippo VR de enjite, sumaho de etsuran, o sawari mo!? na demo ga wadai" 「誰でも美少女」の未来にまた一歩 VRで演じて、スマホで閲覧、おさわりも!? なデモが話題 [One step closer to the future where anyone can be a beautiful girl. Performing in VR and watching – even touching?! – on a smartphone.]. PANORA (in Japanese). Retrieved 20 September 2020.
Their company was approached by future Cover employee, A-chan who wanted to let her friend, the future Tokino Sora, to become the promotion girl for the app in exchange for borrowing Cover's equipment for use in her activity. 
On the 7th of September 2017, Tokino Sora debuted on Nico Nico Douga to an audience of 50 of which 13 were viewers not related to the company. One month later, their livestream app, now named hololive was released on the Apple Appstore and Google Playstore Store.
Ultimately, the app was withdrawn from public stores and utilized internally as a face capture application, with its name being repurposed for Cover Corp’s new VTuber agency.
== Hololive (Japan) ==
Hololive (ホロライブ, stylized as hololive) ,often referred to as Hololive Japan for clarity or HoloJP for short, is the original branch of Hololive and Hololive Production. Prior to the creation of the overseas branches, Hololive the group and Hololive Japan were the same entity with only informal distinction made by the talents after the first overseas branches were established. This arrangement likely continued until the formation of Hololive English and the personnel expansion for Hololive Indonesia which necessitate Hololive Japan being separated into its own branch. This is why HoloJP shares its official name with that of the overall agency.
Hololive Japan has 8 generations of talents consisting of 38 members (33 active, 3 terminations, 1 ending of contract, 2 graduations and 1 affiliate).

Unlike all previous branches, HoloEN does not name their groups by numbered generations. This was intended to not impose the Japanese Senpai-Kouhai (senior-junior) culture on the branch consisting of members from Western countries as well as to avoid developing preconceptions about the prioritizing of the groups based on their numbers.Ben K, (2021/04/05) Interview with the Producer of the All-Girl VTuber Group hololive English, grape Japan. Available at: https://grapeejapan.com/169910 (Accessed: 09 April 2024). Colloquially, fans refer to Myth, Promise (formerly Council), Advent, and Justice as EN generations 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
