## Streaming

The Twitch kanagangtv channel was created on January 12, 2020 (renamed to KanaGang on February 24, 2021). She started part-time streaming on May 20, 2020 walking in hometown Yokohama, Japan with the stream titled Trial: let's go to starbucks with me. She streamed daily in May that year to become Affiliated and became a Twitch Partner on June 2, 2020.

Ever since, she has had 595 active days and has streamed for 3108 hours (as of November 4, 2023).

KanaGang decided to rest from her work and become a full-time streamer in February 2023.

Streams are not archived, and only a selection is currently available to rewatch on Twitch or YouTube.

### Locations

KanaGang mostly streams from Tokyo, Japan where she currently lives and rents a flat. She is using it for streaming PC gaming and chill content.

As an avid traveler and an explorer at heart, KanaGang is often embarking on solo journeys to discover new places and experiences throughout Japan (see Trivia) and abroad. Streamed from Taiwan (in May and September of 2023) and is planning to go to South Korea in March 2024.
