Takanashi Kiara (小鳥遊キアラ) is a virtual YouTuber and singer affiliated with Hololive. She debuted on September 12, 2020 as a member of Hololive English – Myth (stylized as HoloMyth).

Overview

[edit]

Her fictional lore describes her as a phoenix idol who wants to sell fast food and "works extremely hard since she will be reborn from ashes anyway".[2]

She is one of the five members of the agency's subgroup Hololive English: Myth.[2] Her character designer is huke [ja].[2]

Career

[edit]

Takanashi Kiara made her debut along with the other members of Hololive English: Myth on September 12, 2020, the second member to do so.[2]

On November 26, 2020, Takanashi released her first single "HINOTORI", with cover art from Ryohei Fuke and video animation by Mori Calliope.[3] Her second single "Heart Challenger" was released on February 13, 2021.[4]

Takanashi had a 12-hour live stream planned for May 30, 2021, during which she hoped to reach 1 million subscribers. She ended up achieving the 1 million subscribers milestone even before the live stream started. She was the last member of HoloMyth to accomplish this milestone.[5] On July 6, 2021, which is her birthday, she revealed her third original single "SPARKS".[6]

In his review of her 2022 fourth single "Fever Night", Teddy Cambosa of Anime Corner praised her fusion of pop and synthwave as a "refreshed vibe to her expanding discography" and, due to a recent trend of retrowave, a "brilliant move"; he also called the song and music video 1980s nostalgia.[7]
