Announcement Regarding Akai Haato’s Condition and a Warning Against the Spreading of Rumors

Thank you very much for your continuous support of hololive production.

We would like to inform you that hololive production’s Akai Haato will be taking a break from all activities to recuperate and prioritize her health upon consultation with her family due to her current mental state.

In light of this matter, it has come to our attention that, in addition to statements made by Akai Haato being taken out of context and inappropriately circulated online as rumors, other talents, including those that have been mentioned by name on-stream, are being subjected to the arbitrary exaggeration and selective extraction of information as well as offensive behavior and defamation based on mere speculation.

This conduct significantly harms the talent’s reputation and affects their mental well-being, actions which cannot be taken lightly. In particular, we are witnessing numerous comments of bullying taking place, leading to quotes from her streams being misinterpreted and misconstrued.

We recognize that certain comments by Akai Haato on her livestream were made in a state of mental instability. Therefore, we have removed any streams containing such comments and are continuing to remove any related illegal copies of these videos.

In line with company policy regarding such conduct, we are continuing to take strict civil and criminal action, including enforcing legal measures that require the disclosure of sender information and filing lawsuits as necessary. We urge everyone to refrain from engaging in any conduct that may be considered inappropriate or offensive.

We also ask that fans refrain from attempting to directly contact any hololive production talents on stream or via social media regarding this matter. However, if you do happen to witness any inappropriate behavior, please report it to us using the following form.
