Elaine, a VTuber from KoMETA first generation of performers, will graduate on May 8, 2023. It is unknown if her content from her channel will be removed once she retires. The company cited her multiple health issues, including a “recent diagnosis of diabetes,” as reasons from her stepping back from performing.

Here’s the statement from the VTuber Elaine herself about her upcoming graduation.

It still feels surreal that I am leaving soon and knowing that I’ve been an inspiration to some of you.

Thinking of my eliens was always something that motivated me to keep going and it’s sad that I am unable to anymore.

Mommylaine will always love you.

This is the second major health issue Elaine faced. Back in January 2023, KoMETA announced a schedule change and reduced activity due to a spinal injury.

We saw Elaine debut in December 2021 alongside KoMETA VTubers Miria and Virgil. In addition to streaming, she was known for both her original sounds and covers. For example, when she debuted, she did so with a song she wrote called “Starlit Ride.” Her most recent original song was “Nakaukit” back in December 2022.

Another VTuber recently stepping back from performing is Nijisanji’s Fulgur Ovid, albeit that’s a temporary hiatus.
