A week and a half after being announced as the co-host of the Streamer Awards, popular YouTube streamer Rachell "Valkyrae" confirmed that she will be presenting for the 2023 Anime Awards as well.

The 100 Thieves co-owner took to her Twitter account to inform her fans that she has graciously accepted the role and will present at Crunchyroll’s Anime Awards in Japan.
