Popular VTuber Amano Pikamee has announced her graduation from VOMS Project after three years with the group. While this is a sad moment for VTuber fans, there was speculation that she’s leaving due backlash she received when she wanted to play Hogwarts Legacy on stream.
The announcement was made last night via the VOMS Project Twitter account, where it stated that Pikamee will graduate and terminate her activities by the end of March 2023. The group asked the fans to support the graduating VTuber for month remaining before her departure.

The news was also announced on Pikamee’s YouTube channel, in a video titled “Arigatou!” where she said that she will end all activities by the end of March, Japan time, and that she has enjoyed her time being a VTuber. She apologized to those who might have felt shocked or saddened by the news.
While many expressed disappointment at the VTuber’s departure, there was speculation that this might be due to backlash when she announced that she will be streaming Hogwarts Legacy. In a now-deleted tweet that was originally posted on Feb 7, 2023, Pikamee called out those who didn’t want her to play the new Harry Potter game, telling them that “she’s not supporting something specific” and just wants to play it.
This led to speculation that the boycott and harassment of Twitch streamers for playing “that wizarding game” was the cause of her decision.
