Motoaki “Yagoo” Tanigo, the CEO of Cover Corporation, announced he will no longer model Hololive merchandise. He took to social media to note that his last appearances took place in September 2023. He would often appear online holding or modeling merchandise, from hats to socks.
Here’s the announcement Yagoo made noting his Hololive merchandise modeling career is over. He cited his age, noting he’s about to be 50.
Following that, Yagoo and a number of members of Hololive shared images of him modeling merchandise online. For example, Choco Yuzuki shared this image of him wearing her hat.
Anya Melfissa showed Yagoo holding a cushion of her face. In this showcase, he offered a look at the faces on both sides.
Yagoo also retweeted a photo of himself wearing the “Man I Love Fauna” Ceres Fauna hat.
Yagoo also would model items from Holostars. For example, when the Tempus April Fools’ Day boxer briefs were sold, he appeared holding all of them. There was also a similar image where he modeled socks based on Holostars members.
There’s no word yet on who will be the new model for Hololive and Holostars goods, or if Cover will even have a person modeling items going forward.
