Hololive EN Myth debut

Hololive English's first-generation "Myth" debuted in mid-September 2020 — introducing Gawr Gura, Mori Calliope, Watson Amelia, Takanashi Kiara and Ninomae Ina'nis — the moment widely credited with bringing VTubing into the English-language mainstream.

On September 12–13, 2020, Hololive Production debuted its first-generation English-language branch, Hololive EN “Myth” — comprising Mori Calliope, Takanashi Kiara, Ninomae Ina’nis, Gawr Gura, and Watson Amelia. The five debut streams collectively attracted hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers and within weeks each member had crossed 500K YouTube subscribers. Gawr Gura passed 1M subscribers within six weeks of debut — then the fastest single-channel YouTube subscriber growth on record. Myth’s success is widely cited as the inflection point at which VTubing transitioned from a Japanese niche to a global mainstream streaming category.
