Founded in 2016, Cover Corporation, owners of hololive Production<\/a>, took the world by storm during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, introducing the world at large to what would become an international sensation: Vtubers. Since skyrocketing in popularity, hololive introduced talents such as Gawr Gura, Mori Calliope, and Usada Pekora<\/a>. Siliconera had the opportunity to speak with Motoaki \u201cYagoo\u201d Tanigo, the CEO of Cover, to discuss what it takes to become a prospective Vtuber candidate for hololive and what collaborations he\u2019d like to see come to fruition.<\/p>

\u201cWe focus on how to support our talents, and this is one of the most important policies within our company. We don\u2019t increase the amount of talents we have in a short amount of time so that we can support our talents to the best of our ability,\u201d Tanigo stated. \u201cWe care about our talents a lot and want to provide a lot of resources for them. If we have more talents to debut, that would be fantastic, but we wouldn\u2019t be able to support them equally.\u201d He further went on to elaborate and stated that creating 3D models for the company’s talents for concerts and other performances is a lot more extensive than some might realize, with talents needing to fly out to Japan during the creation of these models. Tanigo also stressed that while Hololive would love to expand their roster of VTuber talents, the company would not be able to support the line-up it already has if it expanded too quickly.<\/p>

While hololive is no doubt an international success, Tanigo shared that the North American group is not as profitable as its Japanese counterpart. He said he hoped that upon opening the North American office for hololive (Cover), that the agency will begin to see a return on their investment in their North American talents. However, that hasn\u2019t stopped Hololive from debuting European talents as well, with the VTuber agency branching into an audience it has no doubt already tapped into \u2014 just in a handful of different languages.<\/p>
