Gawr Gura is graduating from Hololive primarily due to disagreements with management and the direction of the company. She announced that she will formally cease all activities as her character on May 1, 2025. The term "graduation" in the VTuber context means retiring or leaving the company and the character persona. Gura was a highly prominent member of Hololive English, but cited creative conflicts and dissatisfaction with the company’s shifting emphasis as reasons for her departure. This graduation reflects a broader trend within Hololive, where several other talents have also left, often due to similar reasons of company direction or creative differences. Gura's status as a character owned by Hololive means her graduation will end that character's activities under Hololive, though the person behind the character might continue independently in some form. Fans have noted her struggles with anxiety and health-related hiatuses in past years, which may have also influenced her decision.
