Tsukumo Sana, a Virtual YouTuber under hololive English, is scheduled to graduate by the end of July.

In an announcement that came as a surprise to many of Sana's fans, hololive's parent company COVER Corp. publicized the news. Read the whole English announcement:

Thank you for your continued support of hololive production.

We regret to inform you that on July 31st, 2022, Tsukumo Sana will graduate from VTuber group hololive English -Council-.

We wish to extend our deepest apologies to all the fans and related parties for this sudden announcement.

We had discussed several times with Tsukumo Sana regarding the direction of her activities, however, as time went on, it became difficult for her to continue her VTuber activities.

After much deliberation between both parties, with the deepest regrets, we have decided to honor her request for graduation.
