VTuber World Abuzz: Holostars Members Join the Viral 'Poco-Pee Dan'!

The 'Poco-Pee Dan' (Poco-Pee Group) is currently garnering significant attention within the VTuber community. In particular, videos showing members from the major VTuber agency Holostars seemingly joining the 'Poco-Pee Dan' have been released, sparking a massive buzz on social media (formerly Twitter).

The phenomenon began with a video published by the popular VTuber unit 'Poco-Pee.' This video featured Holostars members such as Yukoku Roberu, Kageyama Shien, and Yatogami Fuma. Their unique interactions surrounding their supposed recruitment into the 'Poco-Pee Dan' earned immense praise from fans, with comments like 'too funny' and 'a divinely inspired poaching.' Many viewers reportedly experienced both laughter and emotion, especially during the sequence where the Holostars members, despite expressing their gratitude to YAGOO, ultimately joined the 'Poco-Pee Dan.'

On social media, there were numerous references to specific humorous scenes, such as 'It's hilarious how the Poco-Pee Dan are faintly visible behind the shoji screen lol' and 'The Poco-Pee Dan are absolutely like rats, lol.' Many also pointed out its amusing expansion method, commenting, 'The Poco-Pee Dan's system is totally a pyramid scheme, lol 😂.' Comments from fans eagerly wishing to join were also seen, like 'I want to join the Poco-Pee Dan soon too!!!!!'

Furthermore, as the Holostars members were welcomed as '2nd generation' members, attention also turned to Nijisanji's Shikinagi Akira, who was previously known as the 'Poco-Pee Dan 1st generation' member. Many warm messages were posted for Shikinagi as a senior member, such as 'Akira-kun, it's great that these trending kids have joined as 2nd gen 😭.' With this rapid increase in members, voices expressing joy at its widespread growth, like 'It's a borderless Poco-Pee Dan... 🤗 Heartwarming,' could also be heard.

As the phrase 'Poco-Pee Dan Saikou!' (Poco-Pee Dan is the best!) swept through social media trends, this collaboration provided new entertainment for VTuber fans. Expectations are high for the future activities of the 'Poco-Pee Dan' and how its 'companions' will continue to grow.

The Context

For non-Japanese readers, here's some background to understand the article:

  • Poco-Pee (ぽこピー): A highly popular and influential independent VTuber duo consisting of Poko and Pee. They are known for their unique, often absurd, and humorous content. Unlike many VTubers, they operate outside of major agencies.
  • Holostars (ホロスターズ): A prominent male VTuber agency managed by Cover Corporation, the same company behind the hugely successful Hololive female VTuber group. The members mentioned – Yukoku Roberu, Kageyama Shien, and Yatogami Fuma – are popular talents within Holostars.
  • Nijisanji (にじさんじ): Another major VTuber agency in Japan, operated by ANYCOLOR Inc. Shikinagi Akira is one of their talents.
  • "Poco-Pee Dan" (ぽこピー団): This term, meaning 'Poco-Pee Group' or 'Poco-Pee Gang,' refers to a fictional, playfully structured organization created by Poco-Pee. The humor in their videos often revolves around other VTubers being "poached" or "recruited" into this informal group, often through comical skits that mock recruitment processes or even pyramid schemes. The references to "shoji screens" and "rats" contribute to this playful, slightly clandestine and humorous image of a rapidly expanding, almost mischievous group.
  • YAGOO: Motoaki Tanigo, the CEO of Cover Corporation. He is affectionately and often humorously referred to as YAGOO by fans. Expressions of "gratitude to YAGOO" are a running gag among Hololive/Holostars talents, often used ironically or sincerely in contexts like this "poaching" scenario.
  • "1st Generation" / "2nd Generation": This is a humorous adoption of the common VTuber agency practice of categorizing talents by the "generation" in which they debuted, applied here to the expanding Poco-Pee Dan to add to the comedic effect of its growing "roster."

The spotlight is turning back to Gehenna Academy—famously known as the "School of Freedom and Chaos"—with the introduction of a new faction calling itself the "Gehenna Restoration Committee." Rallying under the slogan "Make Gehenna Great Again!", the group seeks to bring back the academy's former sense of order. Currently, Gehenna is defined by a delicate power struggle between the chaotic Pandemonium Society (led by Makoto) and the strict Prefect Team (led by Hina). However, Gehenna's history includes a period where a powerful figure known as the "Thunder Emperor" enforced absolute control. Fans on social media are already diving deep into theories, wondering if the "past order" desired by this new committee refers to the tyrant Thunder Emperor's reign, or if the moveme...
