Twitch and Cover announced on social media it is now possible for everyone to use an emote based on the CEO of the Hololive and Holostars Vtuber company Motoaki “Yagoo” Tanigo. Access appeared the evening of January 8, 2026 worldwide. It is now possible for anyone logged into the platform to use it in chat.
The Yagoo Twitch emote release first happened as a Hololive and Holostars Holoday Vtuber event on Twitch on November 20, 2025. That was the day a number of Cover performers from the English and Indonesian branches joined and all began streaming on Twitch. People who watched streams for set periods of time could earn three special emotes.
Only one of the three Yagoo Twitch emotes from the Hololive and Holostars event is now available for everyone. It’s the “Kingoo” design that features Motoaki Tanigo’s gold, smiling face. When the event happened, that was known as the “Kingoo” one. The other two were copper “Yagoo” and silver “Sadgoo” styles. To use the one now available, input :yagoo:.
Here’s how it looks:
The Yagoo Twitch emote is now live for everyone on the platform, but the other two Holoday ones still are exclusive to people who earned them during the November 2025 event.
