hololive production Guests at Anime Frontier:

Mori Calliope
○ Group: hololive English -Myth○
Profile: The Grim Reaper's first apprentice. Due to modern medical care causing a
decline in the reaping business, Calliope decided to become a VTuber to harvest souls
instead. It seems that the ascended souls of the people who are vaporized by the
wholesome interactions between VTubers go to her as well. That being said, despite the
image her hardcore vocals and manner of speech gives off, she's actually a gentle-hearted
girl who cares greatly for her friends.
○ Debut Stream: 9/12/2020
YouTube Subscribers: 2.26 M
○ Twitter Followers: 1.4M

Takanashi Kiara
○ Group: hololive English -Myth-
○ Profile: An idol whose dream is to become the owner of a fast food chain. Kiara is a
phoenix, not a chicken or turkey. She burns brightly, working herself to the bone since
she'll just be reborn from her ashes anyway.
○ Debut Stream: 9/12/2020
YouTube Subscribers: 1.48M
○ Twitter Followers: 1.1M
