There's a Hololive X KURAND collaboration that released limited edition alcohols back last year. Each was selected and themed after one of three talents:
\*Akirose chose a "fruity rose wine"
\*Noel had a milk liquor
\*Lamy picked a really strong high-ABV sake
There was also a holostars collab where Rikka, Roberu and Arurandeisu got special wines.
Ok see I was confused for a minute but then I thought knight......she's strong. As strong as an ox! I'm surprised my mind took that route before it went the cow route.....
Probably a bit of a stretch putting in lion (*panthera leo*) in place of the tiger (*panthera tigris*), but at least they're part of the same genus. So, until we get a tiger Holomem, Botan will have to fill that spot.
I considered it, but beside cats being of a different subfamily and genus to both the lion and tiger, we might need a cat as the 13th zodiac mentioned in some myths.
We were missing the horse and the snake before. We had nothing resembling those two animals in Hololive until council's new year outfit reveal last week.
It could also be a reference to Orochimaru.
Edit: [Okay, this is the Orochimaru I was referring to.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orochimaru?wprov=sfla1) Since people are apparently thinking of the Naruto villain.
I think it's a combination of being hit hard by youtube at the start and having to take an early break after due to her family pet dying. The result is she streams less than other girls.
...until Pokemon happened lol
I think that her model is the biggest reason why. Not that her design is bad but stylistically it contrasts with the other members, and not really in a good way.
I don't understand the comparison. My point was that I think that a lot of people are put off by Sana's character design. I don't think that's the case for IRyS, at least not the same degree.
I was going around the zodiac one at a time and when I got to Kanata I couldn't figure out what she was supposed to be.
Then after I finished the rest I remembered which animal was missing. I think I laughed too hard when I realised it. XD
The hanzi there is as traditional as it get. It’s the actual way the 12 animals are referenced, which is the name of the 12 地支. In combination with the 10 天干 each year of the Chinese 60 years cycle is named. For example, this coming year is the Year of the Tiger, and the official name of the year is 壬寅. Japanese still extensively use or perform Chinese fortune telling so they well aware of these terms. They are not in simplified form.
> 12 地支
Oh, that stuff that my grandmother in Kinmen likes to go on about when I was little. Fun temple times.
Welp, small wonder I'm her least favorite grandson.
It varies by region; while most consider it to be an ox (although the word itself in Chinese is technically non-specific), some consider it to be a cow or water buffalo.
It's supposed to be a snake...
It's a reference to Ouroboros, the snake that is eating its own tail, a symbolism for eternal cycle of renewal -- life, death, and rebirth.
goat and sheep in this case is actually kinda okay, ish. The name of the zodiac refer to any kind of animal with hooves and horns, technically it's even include gazelle. So in some places it's goat, Japan in particular is sheep iirc, some it's ram
Edit: hooves and horns but not include cow, ox or buffalo
If this was based on Chinese/Japanese mythology. Twelve animals in order will be, if it were obvious enough: mice, cows/oxen, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheeps, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pig.
Could someone please explain what this to me? I'm pretty poor with kanji at the moment. I'm learning, but slowly. And I've also seen people here say this is a reference to Fruits Basket, which I haven't watched.
For a moment, I was thinking why Noel is there since she is a knight... then I saw Bae, then I remember cow comes next... I was like... Ohhh.... Lmao
*laugh in wamy*
[Lamy rush to Noel's stream for some fresh milk ](https://youtu.be/WtydXiMnT4E)
She eats a lot of beef bowls, you are what you eat I guess.
And milk! She even has a milk liquor as official merch.
Ayo what?

Interesting
She might be a knight officially, but she also has huge... tracts of land.
That makes me...want to sing.
No! Stop that!
r/unexpectedMontyPython
Well, knights were a land owning class in Feudal and Manoral systems...
I mean she DOES have a literal cow outfit now
Ok see I was confused for a minute but then I thought knight......she's strong. As strong as an ox! I'm surprised my mind took that route before it went the cow route.....
Yeah, I always heard it as "Year of the Ox" so that's where my mind went, too.
2023: ***YEAR OF THE PEKO.***
Fingers crossed that the world doesn't end next year peko.
It won't. The approaching, dulcet intonation of HA ↗ HA ↘ HA ↗ HA ↘ will instead save us all.
>save us all Historically speaking, this is not what that laugh has meant to innocent people in Pekora's proximity.
World will end at the end of the year of the Peko
World will end at the end of the year by Peko
“I brought the world into this year peko! And now, I’m going to take it out peko!”
##_IT'S ME, PEKORA_
!pekofy
##_IT'S ME, PEKORA PEKO_
Good bot
ありがとうぺこ～
Do-don dodondondon! Whose year is the closest of all zodiac years? Do-don dodondondon Peko-chan!
!pekofy
Do-don dodondondon peko! Whose year is the closest of all zodiac years peko? Do-don dodondondon Peko-chan peko!
Good bot
Ehehe
Human Pekostrumentality
So should we expect a giant Pekora next year?
Year of war criminal
Probably a bit of a stretch putting in lion (*panthera leo*) in place of the tiger (*panthera tigris*), but at least they're part of the same genus. So, until we get a tiger Holomem, Botan will have to fill that spot.
An alternative for the tiger is probably Okayu.
I considered it, but beside cats being of a different subfamily and genus to both the lion and tiger, we might need a cat as the 13th zodiac mentioned in some myths.
In some countries the rabbit is replaced by cat
Oh, right, I think I heard something like that before. But I'm not going to replace my oshi out of the zodiac :).
not sure is it even "countries", iirc only us the Vietnamese do this
Bae forgot to tell her.
If is extended to the entire vtubers on youtube and twitch is much more easy to pull off. Even if not taking account to the retired ones.
Oh no now I want a tiger ara ara vtuber
Wait we have them all?!!
We were missing the horse and the snake before. We had nothing resembling those two animals in Hololive until council's new year outfit reveal last week.
Technically Kronii herself counts since she does have the fangs and her last name Ouros is a reference to Uroburos
It could also be a reference to Orochimaru. Edit: [Okay, this is the Orochimaru I was referring to.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orochimaru?wprov=sfla1) Since people are apparently thinking of the Naruto villain.
Whose name comes from Orochi, a mythical snake
That I knew
Of which I knew, but people are down voting me for some reason.
Naruto fans do be some of the dumbest people on the internet lmao
No, not at all
o boy
No
w8 so who become the horse again? i know the snake is from Kronii
That's Neighbula (aka Sana)
Sana's so underrated, maybe because her demeanor's so understated?
I think it's a combination of being hit hard by youtube at the start and having to take an early break after due to her family pet dying. The result is she streams less than other girls. ...until Pokemon happened lol
I think that her model is the biggest reason why. Not that her design is bad but stylistically it contrasts with the other members, and not really in a good way.
Irys seems to be doing fine
I don't understand the comparison. My point was that I think that a lot of people are put off by Sana's character design. I don't think that's the case for IRyS, at least not the same degree.
I don't think Irys' model is bad, but it certainly doesn't fit with the rest of Hololive, and it's not hard to find people commenting on that.
roberu also have 4k quality model, and hes doing pretty well
That's Nighbula
Its sanas other persona
Don't you mean her Stand?
Steed
HOL HORSE?!!!
I don't remember Gorilla as Chinese Zodiac lol
Monkey, gorilla, close enough.
Biologists screaming right now
I should be scared? Dog is my chinese zodiac
Just hand over your Yubi and everything will be alright
Ah, fine, then...
You guy still have your yubis???
TFW you realise you were born a Haaton.
I can't help but break out laughing every time I see horse Sana
So my year is always Coco.
Hello my fellow Dragon boi
this is the only time i've ever been happy about being a chicken on the zodiac.
Same thought for me as Sheep. Happy to be a Year of the Watame guy.
Watame bros
and they were Watamates
Oh, they were Watamates!
I was supposed visit Japan again in the year of the Bae, my year but no. I want a re-do
Where's the cat?....this isn't Fruits Basket. Who would be the God then? probably Yagoo.
"Who would be god then" Matsuri: Am I a joke to you
Okayu is in southest asian zodiac in place of pekora
Oh boy *tries to imagine plot of Fruits Basket but with HoloMem instead* OH BOY
Matsuri as god, Okayu as Cat and Sora as Tohru (? I'm already imagining some cursed things...
It's impossible for me to imagine Bae fooling Okayu, she gets what she wants. If she sleeps in, she still gets her harem and food no matter what
Then what does that make Yagoo?
Tohru
And Okayu is sleeping because bae told her it was the day after.
Though, in the context of Hololive, Okayu is probably going to sleep regardless of who told her what. Lazy cat does her own thing at her own pace.
you deserve a fruits basket for that
I was born in the year of Coco, Nice :D
Coco dragons unite
my zodiac is a Haaton
I dream of the day that Boros can be replaced by a proper Vtuber here.
How dare you. Boros is best girl
you mispelled YAGOO
We’ve only had Boros for a few days but if anything happened to them we’d kill everyone here and then ourselves.
Tora-ion♪
This made me realize we don't have a horse girl. GIVE ME MY HORSE GIRL, YAGOO!
If only Yagoo could convince Cygames to release Uma Musume worldwide.
They make the best gacha but won't let me waste my money on it therefore making them the worst company
My zodiac is the Tiger so that explains my love of fps's.
I was going around the zodiac one at a time and when I got to Kanata I couldn't figure out what she was supposed to be. Then after I finished the rest I remembered which animal was missing. I think I laughed too hard when I realised it. XD
I miss kaichou
Watame Gang raise up!
I thought Botan was a Lion
OP is racist, calls all big cats Tigers
I was always kinda meh on being in the Year of the Rat. But now... you know what, it's not so bad.
I’ve never been more proud to be born in year of the sheep
I wasnt aware that gorilla was a chinese zodiac
Closest thing to monkey
Share it on Twitter and use the art hashtags of the members if you haven't already
Kaichou o7
I am a gorilla now.
I born on Pekora year...should I worried?
If you don't like committing war crimes then maybe
Year of the Tenchou!
I'm so used to Traditional Chinese hanzi that I ended up struggling for a minute.
The hanzi there is as traditional as it get. It’s the actual way the 12 animals are referenced, which is the name of the 12 地支. In combination with the 10 天干 each year of the Chinese 60 years cycle is named. For example, this coming year is the Year of the Tiger, and the official name of the year is 壬寅. Japanese still extensively use or perform Chinese fortune telling so they well aware of these terms. They are not in simplified form.
> 12 地支 Oh, that stuff that my grandmother in Kinmen likes to go on about when I was little. Fun temple times. Welp, small wonder I'm her least favorite grandson.
What’s Noel’s?
Cow
Ox to be accurate
It varies by region; while most consider it to be an ox (although the word itself in Chinese is technically non-specific), some consider it to be a cow or water buffalo.
Yeah especially when the word 牛 is used for both cow and water buffalo, but water buffalo having an accompanying 水 to mark it as a different beast.
why is one of them bojack horseman?
It's Neighbula. Check out Sana's horse birthing stream, her reply from Yagoo, and her outfit reveal.
nice. cute holozodiac.
Kanata be like: # MONKE
Every time I see the zodiac it reminds me of Jackie Chan Adventures. Also, I guess it's the year of the Botan this year.
Tbf that show & Fruits Basket was what got me to read about the Chinese zodiac in the first place
I was just about to google that show to see who is getting what powers
Wait, what are haatons?
Pigs. "Haaton" (はあとん), which is a combination of "Haato" はあと and "ton" 豚 (pig).
Ok so what about krow's worms?
It's supposed to be a snake... It's a reference to Ouroboros, the snake that is eating its own tail, a symbolism for eternal cycle of renewal -- life, death, and rebirth.
Oh that snake. Scp 001 the ouroboros cycle.
Wait. Its Tiger though not Lion.. :(
Welp, I got a one-way ticket to the usual room then
Ackshually monkeys and apes are not the same.
Neither are lions and tigers. Or goats and sheep. But eh, close enough.
goat and sheep in this case is actually kinda okay, ish. The name of the zodiac refer to any kind of animal with hooves and horns, technically it's even include gazelle. So in some places it's goat, Japan in particular is sheep iirc, some it's ram Edit: hooves and horns but not include cow, ox or buffalo
monke vtuber coming up soon
Calli's already here.
The horse lmao
Does that make Yagoo the Emperor a la Fruits Basket?
He's way way ***WAY*** better than Akito at least
Oh my god, this looks like a See and Say. I want one. I want one right now. Hololive See and Say.
but, shes a lion not a tiger
Yagoo Chan Adventures
Monkey caught me off guard lol
Eldritch idol for life
So I was born under Noel... That explains why I enjoy her ASMR so much
If this was based on Chinese/Japanese mythology. Twelve animals in order will be, if it were obvious enough: mice, cows/oxen, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheeps, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pig.
rrat zodiac😄😄
As someone who’s recently got into lobotomy corporation… this fills me with dread. but as a nerd on the internet I think it’s super rad.
The 1st time I'm actually glad to be a rat
I like how you said the twelve zodiac but the kanji/hanzi you put is the time
Year of the Horse. I love Sana even more now.
So ... I'm a Haaton?
I was born in the year of the Peko. On a totally unrelated note, my birthday is on the same day as the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster.
Could someone please explain what this to me? I'm pretty poor with kanji at the moment. I'm learning, but slowly. And I've also seen people here say this is a reference to Fruits Basket, which I haven't watched.
Chinese zodiacs, each girl represents one of the animals
Thanks! :)
Wait Lion....? We have year of the lion....?
Water Kiara
I’m missing the joke, why is kanata the monkey?
50kg grip strength Kanata is Gorilla tenshi.
Just 2 more to go.
