Mococo Abyssgard of Hololive English's FUWAMOCO Announces Temporary Hiatus Due to Poor Health, Draws Outpouring of Support

Mococo Abyssgard (affectionately known as Moko-chan), half of the popular virtual YouTuber (VTuber) duo "FUWAMOCO" from the agency "Hololive English," has announced a temporary hiatus due to poor health, prompting an overwhelming wave of warm encouragement and prayers for a speedy recovery from fans both in Japan and abroad.

During a broadcast titled "An Announcement from Mococo" on her official YouTube channel, Mococo reported that she would be taking a break from activities for a while to recuperate and focus on her medical treatment. Following the announcement, "Moko-chan" rapidly trended on X (formerly Twitter).

The social media timeline was flooded with warm messages urging her to take it easy, such as "Take all the time you need to rest" and "We will always be waiting for your return with a healthy smile." Given how she consistently brings energy and smiles to her fans every day, many comments emphasized putting her health first, saying things like, "You've worked so hard up until now, so please rest well" and "It's very responsible of you to make the decision to take a break."

Additionally, supportive messages were sent to her twin sister and duo partner, Fuwawa Abyssgard, with fans saying, "Don't overdo it while filling in for Mococo, go at your own pace" and "We are supporting your solo activities as well," showcasing the supportive and caring nature of the entire fan community.

Mococo is deeply loved by many listeners for her energetic streaming activities. While fans will certainly miss her in the meantime, they are quietly looking forward to the day when the sisters can return together with their trademark boundless energy and smiles.

The context

Virtual YouTubers (VTubers), who use digital avatars to broadcast content online, have gained massive global popularity, with agencies like Hololive leading the industry. FUWAMOCO consists of demon guard dog sisters—Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssgard—who debuted under Hololive English in July 2023. Known for their synchronized dynamic, cheerful personalities, and regular streaming schedule, they have built a dedicated international fanbase known as "Ruffians." VTuber hiatuses due to health issues highlight the demanding nature of live content creation and have led to increasing calls from communities for agencies to prioritize talent well-being.
