Minato Aqua (湊あくあ) was a Japanese VTuber affiliated with Hololive Production from 8 August 2018 to 28 August 2024. She was part of Hololive's 2nd Generation.[2] On 6 August 2024, she announced her 'graduation' from Hololive, using terminology from the Japanese idol industry to refer to retirement.[3] Her graduation concert, streamed on YouTube on August 28, attracted 749,854 concurrent viewers, making it the most watched VTuber stream in history.[4]

At the time of her graduation, Aqua had 2.24 million subscribers on her YouTube channel and was the 11th most popular VTuber according to the ranking site Userlocal.[5]

Career

On 14 July 2018, Hololive Productions put out a casting call for the virtual maid "Minato Aqua", with the character design done by the illustrator Gaou.[6] Less than a month later, Minato Aqua debuted on YouTube as the first member of Hololive's 2nd Generation alongside Murasaki Shion, Nakiri Ayame, Yuzuki Choco, and Oozora Subaru.

Aqua's official character profile describes her as a marine-themed maid who can be awkward and clumsy,[7] though fans know her as a shy introvert with exceptional gaming skills, particularly in Apex Legends.[8]

On 21 August 2020, she held her first paid solo concert to celebrate her two year anniversary, simulcast on the Niconico and Bilibili.[9] She was supposed to have a concert streamed from the Nissin Power Station on 2 August 2021, but the venue suffered a DDoS attack and an information security breach and was forced to cancel the concert.[10] Aqua was able to hold the concert on 19 February from the same venue.[11] She held a solo concert with a live audience at the Toyosu PIT on 28 January 2022.[12]

Aqua's channel reached 1 million subscribers on 13 January 2021, making her the 8th VTuber (and 5th Hololive member) to reach this milestone.[13] On 9 May 2024, her channel reached 2 million subscribers.[14]

Aqua produced and starred in her own visual novel Aquarium, developed by Entergram and released for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on 27 October 2022.[15] The game received a Steam release with English localization in 2023.[16] A sequel was announced in March 2024, but it was cancelled due to Aqua's graduation.[17]

On 6 August 2024, Aqua announced that she would be 'graduating' from Hololive on August 28.[3] On that day, she held a graduation concert streamed on YouTube that gathered 749,854 concurrent viewers, breaking the previous record of 483,873 viewers set by fellow Hololive member Kiryu Coco's graduation stream in July 2021.[4] Aqua's graduation stream was also noted for receiving US$237,571 in Superchat (YouTube donations) revenue, the second most of any stream in the VTuber industry after Coco's graduation stream.[4]
