Cover announced the termination of their Virtual YouTuber Master Agreement with Hololive Vtuber Hizaki Gamma of Holostars. The termination of contract was mutually decided between the company and the Vtuber and went in effect on July 17, 2024.
The decision behind the termination of contract for Hizaki Gamma comes because of an increase in difficulty for Cover and Hololive Production to continue managing and supporting the Vtuber. The company apologized to fans and partners for the news and thanked them for their support. Cover also confirmed that Hizaki Gamma’s YouTube channel and membership will close by the end of August 2024.
In response to the announcement, Gamma himself made a post in Japanese through his X (formerly Twitter) account. In it, the Vtuber apologized for the inconveniences caused to the members of Holostars, fans, and management of Hololive, caused by his “lack of self-management.” Gamma also thanked his “assistants” (the name of his fanbase) for the last 2 and a half years. He also thanked the people he has worked with and apologized for the sudden announcement.
Cover CEO Motoaki Tanigo chimed in with his own post thanking Gamma for his constant hard work, thanking fans for their continued support of Gamma’s former unit “Uproar!!”, and affirming that the company will continue to celebrate the Vtuber’s past successes.
