Hololive Myth Members: The Full Roster
One shark. Forty days. A million subscribers. That is the speed at which Hololive Myth kicked the door open in 2020, and the shockwave never really stopped. This was the first English generation Hololive ever launched, and it hit like a truck. Five girls debuted in September 2020, and within six weeks one of them was the most subscribed VTuber on the entire planet. Hololive Myth took a niche Japanese hobby and turned it into a global obsession almost overnight, and the fandom has never been the same.
So who are these five legends? We are going to walk through every single one of them, their gimmicks, their past lives, their biggest moments, and where each member stands right now. Some are still streaming their hearts out, and a couple have moved on to new chapters. Let’s meet the full roster!
What Is Hololive Myth?
Hololive Myth is the official name for Hololive English Generation 1, the very first EN branch under the massive Hololive Production umbrella. The theme is right there in the name. Each member comes from a world of legend, so you get a grim reaper, a phoenix, an ancient priestess, a shark from a sunken city, and a time-traveling detective. Cover Corp built the whole concept around myth and folklore, which is exactly why the group carries the Myth nickname today.
The debut rolled out across two days. Mori Calliope and Takanashi Kiara went live on September 12th, 2020, and then Ninomae Ina’nis, Gawr Gura, and Amelia Watson followed on September 13th. The English speaking VTuber scene basically detonated the second these five arrived. Want the bigger picture on the agency that made it happen? Check out our deep look at Hololive Productions and the rise of the VTuber.
How Hololive EN Myth Changed Everything
Before Hololive EN Myth, most Western fans experienced Hololive through clips and fan translations. The Japanese talents were already huge stars, but there was a language wall standing between them and a global audience. Myth flattened that wall. Suddenly there were five girls streaming live in English, cracking jokes Western viewers instantly got, and collabing with each other like a friend group you desperately wanted to hang out with.
The numbers do the talking. Gawr Gura became the first Hololive talent ever to hit one million YouTube subscribers, and she pulled it off in roughly 40 days. She then went on to become the first VTuber anywhere to cross three million and four million subs. The rest of the gen climbed fast right behind her. Merch sold out on repeat, ticketed concerts became real events, and the group hooked in people who had never watched an anime style streamer before in their lives. Hololive EN Myth is genuinely the moment VTubing went mainstream in the West, and every EN gen that came after was built on the ground these five broke.

Gawr Gura: The Shark Who Broke Records
Let’s start with the big one. Gawr Gura, the little shark descended from Atlantis, became the face of the entire English VTuber movement. Her fans call themselves chumbuds, her deadpan catchphrase “a” turned into a full blown meme, and her cover of “Reflect” pulled monster numbers on YouTube. For years she reigned as the single most subscribed VTuber on Earth, peaking around 4.7 million subscribers, and nobody else came remotely close.
The past life gossip on Gura is some of the juiciest in the whole fandom, and the fan consensus is locked in. Everyone points to Senzawa, the singer and content creator who blew up with viral covers and quirky videos before going quiet right as Gura debuted. The timing lined up perfectly, the voice was a dead match, and once Gura’s chapter wrapped, Senzawa’s old channels flickered back to life. We laid out all the theory and detail in our Gawr Gura face reveal and past identity guide.
Here comes the bittersweet part. On April 15th, 2025, Gura announced she would graduate from Hololive, and her send off arrived on May 1st, 2025 with a short 3D mini live where she performed a medley of her originals capped by a little animation. The most iconic VTuber of all time stepping away closed a massive chapter for the community. The shark swam off, but the records she set are still standing.

Mori Calliope: The Reaper With Bars
Mori Calliope is the grim reaper apprentice of the group, and she is easily one of the most gifted musicians the VTuber space has ever produced. This is not a streamer who noodles around with music as a hobby. Calli drops full albums, real music videos, and actual bars. Tracks like “Off With Their Heads” and “excuse my rudeness, but could I be your dog?” have serious replay value, and she has landed the kind of anime tie-ins most independent artists only fantasize about.
She just keeps stacking wins, too. Mori performed “LET’S JUST CRASH” as the second opening theme for the anime Gachiakuta, and she dropped her third major label album DISASTERPIECE worldwide on February 6th, 2026. The record packs ten songs, including anime and drama tie-in tracks, and it proved she is only getting bigger. Calli is one of the most consistently active Hololive Myth members and shows zero signs of slowing down.
On the past life front, fans are highly confident that Mori was the artist and rapper known as DemonDice. The flow, the raw energy, and the whole DIY creative style line up so cleanly that the fandom treats it as settled lore. It honestly makes her rap skills click into place. She did not just pick up music after joining Hololive, she was grinding as a serious independent artist long before the reaper mask ever went on.
Takanashi Kiara: The Phoenix Who Never Quits
Takanashi Kiara is the phoenix of Hololive Myth, and if you had to sum her up in one word, it would be unstoppable. She literally rises from the ashes again and again. Kiara runs her fan community like a fast food empire called KFP, short for Kiara’s Fried Phoenix, and she insists everyone address her as tenchou, which means store manager. It is a bit that started as a joke and grew into an entire identity, and it absolutely rules.
What makes Kiara special is how multilingual she is. She is Austrian, and she flips between English, German, and Japanese without breaking a sweat, which lets her bridge the EN and JP branches better than almost anyone on the roster. She has stayed active for years and pushed her channel past 1.6 million subscribers. In a genuinely legendary career moment, she joined Hakos Baelz and Kobo Kanaeru to sing a new version of the One Piece opening “We Go!” alongside original artist Hiroshi Kitadani, which released in early March 2025. Singing for One Piece is about as huge a gig as a VTuber can possibly land.
Her past life is another fan favorite. The community widely believes Kiara used to stream as Keekihime, the “cake princess,” a VTuber and hardcore idol otaku who was active in Japan for years before Myth. The personality, the voice, and the polished idol energy all match, which is why fans consider it a done deal. We dug deeper into her real name and story in our Kiara VTuber face reveal breakdown.
Ninomae Ina’nis: The Priestess With a Paintbrush
Ninomae Ina’nis, or Ina for short, is the calm, cozy heart of Hololive Myth. She is a priestess of the Ancient Ones, her fans are the adorable takodachi (tiny octopuses), and her little tentacle sidekick keeps things pleasantly weird. “Wah” is her signature sound, and her relaxed art streams are the comfort watch of the entire gen. When the rest of EN goes full chaos, Ina is the one softly narrating over a canvas and keeping everyone calm.
Here is the wild part. Ina is a genuine professional illustrator, and she drew a huge chunk of the art Hololive EN actually uses, including promotional pieces for the branch. So the girl on screen is also one of the artists working behind the scenes, which is a flex almost no other talent can claim. When she runs a drawing stream, you are literally watching a working pro build an illustration from a blank layer in real time, walking you through her process while she does it.
The past life talk on Ina points straight to a well established illustrator who was active in art circles long before her debut. Fans connect her to the professional artist known as Nagu, whose style and skill line up with everything Ina puts on screen. It is one of the cleaner cases in the fandom, mostly because the art quality gives it away. Her talent was clearly the real deal years before Hololive ever came calling.
Amelia Watson: The Detective Who Started It All
Amelia Watson, or Ame, is the time-traveling detective of the group, and she is one of the most beloved Hololive Myth members of all time. Her fans are the teamates, her chaotic gremlin energy is the stuff of legend, and she was the resident tech wizard of the gen. Ame pushed 3D streams, ambitious collab setups, and games like GTA and Minecraft harder than almost anyone in EN. Picture early Hololive EN chaos in your head and odds are you are picturing Amelia Watson mid meltdown over her own hardware.
She also anchors one of the most famous ships in VTuber history alongside Kiara, the Takamori pairing the fandom still adores to this day. Her duo moments with Gura, sometimes called Sāme, were another combo fans could never get enough of. Ame had a gift for making everyone around her funnier just by being in the room.
For the gossip, the fan consensus links Amelia Watson to a past creator who quietly went dark right before her launch, with the name Sachiowo popping up constantly in fan circles. The timing of that account going silent lines up almost too neatly with Ame’s debut. We laid out the whole story in our Amelia Watson face reveal and past identity article.
Ame was the first Myth member to step back. In September 2024 she announced she would conclude her general activities as a Hololive talent while staying on as an affiliate, and her final stream ran on September 30th, 2024. Here is the cool twist though. She did not fully disappear. Her voice turned up at Hololive events into 2025 and she has kept lending technical support behind the scenes, so the detective still shows her face when it counts.
Where the Hololive Myth Members Are Now
So here is the current state of the roster. Mori Calliope and Takanashi Kiara are both still going strong, cranking out music, streams, and jaw-dropping anime gigs while carrying the Myth flag with pride. Ninomae Ina’nis keeps blessing everyone with her illustrations and cozy vibes. Amelia Watson stepped away in 2024 but stays connected as an affiliate and still guests at big events. And Gawr Gura, the record breaking shark, graduated in May 2025 and closed out a run that basically nobody will ever match.
The official announcement that broke the fandom’s heart:

Even with two members moving on, the impact of these five is permanent. Hololive Myth is the gen that turned Hololive EN into a worldwide phenomenon, and the fandom they built is still one of the biggest and loudest in all of VTubing. Whichever member reeled you in first, you are part of a legacy that reshaped the entire scene.
