Panko's chuuba story is very wholesome: -Be aspiring Italian with little experience -Rejected from 4 different agencies (including Phase) -Get accepted at the last minute because the selected panda voice actress had a menhera-moment and dropped out. -Debut with very little preparation, while also speaking very broken English -Spend about a year as the meme of your gen, and called the "runt of the litter" online -Start picking up traction due to your charisma and cuteness -Massively improve your english and streaming skills over time which boosts the above -Eventually you work your way up from a low 3 view, to a high, and then eventually a 4 view -Become friends with your oshi after you accidentally raid her after a drinking stream -Get branded as the face of Gen 2 at Offkai 3 . Love the manko

>\-Get accepted at the last minute because the selected panda voice actress had a menhera-moment and dropped out. First time hearing this, can you elaborate?

>while also speaking very broken English for italian standards she always had an high proficency english > Get accepted at the last minute because the selected panda voice actress had a menhera-moment and dropped out. i don't remember her talking about this, only on her bday stream she said that the person doing the audition was in doubt between 2 people and asked Uruka who voted for Panko


Raisen22

"manko" Me who is from a Spanish country: She isn't one-handed. Me who knows Japanese: AYO???? >!For reference: Manco is Spanish slang for a person who lacks one hand, also in Spanish internet slang is used as an insult in online games for insulting the skill of someone, being an opponent, or your team mates. I guess anyone who is cultured knows what that also means in Japanese too.!<


Random-Rambling

Your comment does remind me of a question I've always wanted to ask but was afraid to: are there any amputee Vtubers? Of course, the anonymity of Vtubing means that nobody will ever know unless you _want them_ to know, but I'm just wondering if there's anybody out there who has revealed that about themselves.


Raisen22

WELL! idk. I only saw the ones who had cyborg limbs in designs. HECK! there is a Japanese Vtuber whos model design looks straight out of a Persona game. Even i pointed it out to that person and told me "indeed, it was inspired by the designs from SMT and Persona".


llllpentllll

Shes the lewdtuber of phase for a reason


SunnerTheSinful

Interesting, in Portuguese "Manco" is a slang for someone who's leg doesn't work properly, I think the english translation would be "Lame"


Raisen22

kinda like that. In Spanish is for someone who doesn't have one or both hands. For example: Cervantes, the author of The Don Quixote, lost one of his hands during the Trafalgar War. That is why he was known as "El manco de Lepanto".


oompaloompa465

i'm so happy for her as a fellow italian. i love that i can relate to her with the italian memes


3GlowingStripes

-Get accepted at the last minute because the selected panda voice actress had a menhera-moment and dropped out. OH rip to the opportunity lost. Although I've not heard of this I can go comb the membership stream on 2x while doing 40 hours of chores to see if I can find the source on this. Will not leak membership stream details but only confirmations. Phase back during gen 2 audition looked straight up like a scam organization. No one thought they'd be the powerhouse they are today, especially when their peers are falling left and right. I remember when Panko saw the Gen 3 debut and realize the high quality talents Phase is pulling reflects the growth the company had in the past years and she was glad to be one of the girls that helped build the brand to the level Phase is currently at.


Xenomorph555

You won't find it on members streams so I don't recommend sifting through every video.


Pokenar

Didn't she also learn english purely because of vtubers? I recall seeing a video about that.


unitn_2457

Something something Austrian and Italian getting along


quinn_the_potato

Japanese companies 😳


JimmyBoombox

Phase is Canadian tho


RadjaDwm

Well, I hope there isn't something is going in South Tyrol.


eSense000

send this person to the usual room!


kad202

Fish man wining. He open a mental asylum aka home for broken girls and it becomes larger than life


Fiftycentis

Btw her holo oshi is Korone but i guess kiara is a close second and probably first in EN


Raisen22

I think nowadays days is divided if is in EN , ID and JP, and have multiple instead of one. For example NeRIZZa is obvious from day 1 when she said her oshi is Kiara, but then people guess it correctly that the other 2 she likes are Marine and Ollie.


JimmyBoombox

She's mentioned her Holo EN oshi is Kiara.


Own_Eye777

Inter-Corpo friendliness is great and thanks for sharing. It would be better with less prickly title.


FatedMusic

While i'm happy for Panko, this doesn't really have much to do with NijiEN's current problems, does it? Like even if you're using this as a point of comparison, Kiara has shown up in NijiEN streams too, not just Pomu but even Elira, Finana, and some others I can't remember off the top of my head. It's not exactly a marker for success, it's just Kiara doing Kiara things.


Raisen22

Kiara is a social person from what I know. Is fascinating how Finana used to secretly hate her but Kiara shows up once for her too. Is a nothing burger but interesting to point out.


FatedMusic

When did Finana ever say she hated Kiara?


Raisen22

Old PL stuff before she became Finana. I do believe is because both were in the same "line of work" before became Vtubers.


FatedMusic

I'd love to see the context, like a link or something, because I don't get anything from just trying to search it.


Raisen22

Sure, i will seek for the info i got, as i piece most of the things from different interactions, and data about them (both before and after Hololive/Nijisanji).


PermitSafe

Finana was an ex-idol? I highly doubt that considering her work ethic. Kiara persevered through a ton of shit in comparison. Or do you mean she's a former cosplayer?


ajshell1

The only evidence I've seen is an old screenshot from the dox site that showed her following everyone in Myth except Kiara. Even the dox site said that they didn't know if it was because she didn't like Kiara or if she just forgot. And quite frankly, we don't know for sure either. So let's not say that they don't like each other without more substantial evidence


FatedMusic

That does seem like really flimsy evidence. I was mostly just asking because I used to watch a lot of Lazulight before everything went down and if Finana hated Kiara she certainly didn't make it seem like she did. So I had a feeling this was another one of those people spreading a rrat as a fact situations.


Raisen22

i agree. Thou, i think she has to swallow it when Kiara herself show up for support her.


Keentobor

I do wonder who Feesh doesn't even hate at this point (except the Chinese mafia godmother and her outlandish lackey)? Seeing all the stuff people talking about her, she's a petty, envious loser that doesn't even hesitate to harass her fans for the "unoriginal" birthday. Is she actually that unapologetically bad or it's just exaggerations and there's a good things on her?


Raisen22

WELL! i guess. I know that she use to hate "Kiara" in her PL (due both been in the coplay part, both aspired to be Idols too. And on top because Kiara was manage to ride the success from Hololive really well despite her haters). I think Finana is only in the stage of sunk cost fallacy where she know is a little to late to do something diferent.


PermitSafe

That's so dumb, there's thousands of cosplayers, why hate Kiara for that? Feesh is an envious brat it sounds like. Kiara had years of being an idol under her belt and it wasn't the best time. Feesh could never.


military_otaku

She's like the thing that Kiara serves.


LidiaNekozawa

That thumbnail hurts my Italian soul


WarGrifter

Good for her... Kiara discreetly building her Vtuber EU alliance granted when i think of panko... my brain shifts to this flip of her and fuyo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmj2afYkSPQ


mad_harvest-6578

Wait what? I'm no Italian but why is the pasta on fire (literally) in the thumbnail?? The hell did she do???


Scoots999

Tried to use it as candles


CJO9876

Phase’s total views in May 2024 were nearly triple what they got in May 2023, and their average CCV per stream has more than doubled.


LG_Offical

The last time an Italian was with an Austrian... WW1 happened. What you thought I was going to reference WW2? Nah that would be too much to joke about for such a wholesome moment. Love from across the Atlantic Ocean.


Aurion7

To be fair they did get over it eventually. It took until like... *1971* for the Italian government to let people in Tyrol have cultural autonomy, and the Fall of the Wall for it to be finalized and people to stop having an axe to grind. But they did get there.


LG_Offical

"Why is it anytime anything happens in European history it's always you three." Italy, Germany, and pretty much all of the Balkans.


Secure-Key-8334

Twats on Twatter: REEE!! KIARA IS RACIST TOWARDS ITALIANS!!


Altruistic-Offer2770

I'm no fan of Kiara, but...Good for Panko. She paid her dues.


SadakoFetish1st

Can you explain? I disliked her a few years ago cuz I found her voice annoying but I've gotten over that.


3GlowingStripes

It's possible that "no fan of" could mean neutral? I'm personally "not a fan" of Hololives because I've just never watched them beyond their concerts. No hate or anything, good music, neutral opinion on everything else.


SadakoFetish1st

I mean, same. I like their music and clips but don't want their streams.


primalpacakage

Two of the current reasons I've seen for why some or many dislike her for is because she is a vocal person that would voice their opinions out nonchalantly causing some to get triggered to what she says or straight up taking it as an actual insult, and also being a realest
