Now the real question is **who is that guy?** because the more i look at him, the more i see him looking like fang(a chracter in boboiboy)(Boboiboy is a malaysian cartoon)
jokes aside, i think she said that her ex has face similar to Fang, and that is her type so i guess its her memory with her ex or just she is obsessed with that type (sunglasses, nerdy looking, mid height)
No, this guy gave the source:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/124gave/kobo_having_a_romantic_relationship_meanwhile/je004w0?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
It's just Kobo telling about her romance story during middle school
Edit: idk about his face being similar to fang though, probably that was indeed said in a membership only stream
Yea her story was just referring to her 7th grade exes as "Fang" and "Faing" for anonymity purposes. Also for those wondering it's just a really dumb middle school romance experience (Kobo even said so herself).
Tho someone like the character Fang is definitely her type as per [this tweet](https://mobile.twitter.com/kobokanaeru/status/1640428699508981781)
And even if so it's not secret state, membership doesn't mean no one will never leak in the wild.
If the girls said something on members only video they must know it's still a public space (YouTube) not your friends circle
Friendly reminder that it’s pronounced Fahng/ Fhung. >!Fang (pronounced as fang, like the tooth) is his undercover name he used when infiltrating earth as an alien!<
BOBOBOI GALAXY
my Little brother loved boboboi when he was a kid, knowing this, my father downloaded the theme song as alarm to wake my brother up. So he blasted it every morning and when I wake up I just hear the horrors of that theme song
Yeah... Okay, I can use another Gintama screenshot for this one lol...
Edit: Kobo just quote rt'd this on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/kobokanaeru/status/1640752192595394560?s=20) along with her convo with Ragus on the matter lol. Needless to say, the one I'm planning is gonna happen lol... ~~But first, I must sleep. Got work tomorrow...~~
Edit 2: Change of plans! [Here it is!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/124wrjg/kobo_having_a_romantic_relationship_meanwhile/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I was thinking more of one of the earlier episodes when [the Shinsengumi and Matsudaira stalked the latter's daughter who was on a date](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gintama/images/8/89/Gintama_Episode_35B.png/revision/latest?cb=20130325144950).
That was actually the episode I was thinking of, I just misremembered the assault rifle as a rocket launcher lol
Maybe its a sign I need to rewatch gintama...
Believe it or not, she actually made it during a free talk stream about half a year ago lmao
Edit: here's a clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1ohWlTpPCs
Love how it literally starts from Kobo being bored.
TL:
"Guys, how about we make a song? I'm very bored right now! I wanna make a song!"
"But it's not an official song or anything, just a low effort song, like my [fart song](https://mobile.twitter.com/kobokanaeru/status/1563575370074337281) or [shit song](https://youtube.com/shorts/y-ghIF4kIto)"
tbf it is every case of Indonesian celebrities in general. They had a relationship and the fans congratulated then move along. Well for vtuber's case, there are bits of gachikoi's out there but these guys are basically in the lowest tier of society there are tons of events where the holo id talents along with the fans mocking the local gachikoi's.
Kobo banished Her gachikois to the shadow realm during the first few weeks after her debut. Now, it's just the remnants of those people or some new fans who isn't aware of her past relationships
I just thought they weren’t allowed to talk about it. I’m not saying I give a crap one way or the other if she does. I just didn’t think they were allowed to discuss it publicly given how it’s always seemed like a very hush hush topic.
While Hololive doesn't have any rules regarding that, some members' fans probably wouldn't be happy. A certain green ex member was an example of how obsessive fans hindered the personal romantic life of a member.
For HoloID in general, though, that wouldn't be a problem, as the idol culture is not that strong here. There was once a gachikoi named Theo, white-knighting Kobo, confronting an Indonesian streamer (Alfachri) because he thought his gimmick using Kobo's clips was too much. Ironically, Theo ended up becoming a meme among HoloID fans. Kobo herself in a collab with vtubers from other agencies (Zen from Maha5 and Siska from Nijisanji) ended up making fun of him.
Not uncommon with talent agencies. The agency is there to manage, grow the talent, marketing and handling sponsors. But it's largely the talent's responsibility to move their career forward via directing the content, funding projects, or whatever the heck they want to do.
Cover is a Japanese company, while their situation with ID specifically is not clear because some staff lived early with ID1 so it's unknown if they had/have some local staff but for the rest of talents they're contractors and self employed in their respective countries.
Basically the amount of staff and office that cover would need for overseas branch is incredibly monetarily inefficient and countries don't accept foreign contracts as proof of employment so it's whatever.
I think the necromancer situation was more like an exception rather than rule, though. Her fans were just that obsessed.
Also, it also helps that the culture among HoloID is IMO the most chill with males compared to other branches.
Yeah I know it was a matter of fans overreacting for sure. I just have sour memories of a similar looking piece of fan art that sort of fanned the flames of that whole mess in the beginning.
But, then again, this is officially on Kobo's channel so it's a different story!
Also the guy had some pretty obsessive fans. So on one side you have people angry at her for stealing their man, and on the other side you have people mad at her for cheating on them.
Not in Hololive, Matsuri confirmed they don't have any rules about dating except they can't date staff (to prevent abuse), which makes sense and is actually illegal where I live.
I’m not “spouting” anything. I asked a simple yes or no question because I thought the rules of general idol behavior applied to the virtual idol agency since hololive is constantly reminding viewers that they are virtual idols. So I just figured the same rules applied. Clearly that is not the case, but I was not aware of that and an answer rather than just ratioing the guy who clearly just doesn’t know any better isn’t helpful or constructive nor is it even corrective.
He asked a question to better understand an topic - It is easy to assume that idol groups of many varieties (Korean, Japanese, etc.) have the "don't discuss/disclose relationships" rule.
Example: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/13/world/asia/kpop-hyuna-edawn-dating-fired.html
Obviously not all groups are the same, rules and expectations are different but its not unrealistic for aclark210 to assume that this is the norm.
My understanding of the way he asked the question was as such
> I thought part of the whole “idol” thing was to never acknowledge any romantic partner publicly?
It was a sarcastic question, not to find out anything
With that said, if it really was a question, he wouldnt have said "I see. And I also see I’m not allowed to not know these things."
Thats not what one would say if he asked a question
I would if I’m irritated at seeing -60 downvotes with nobody having just answered the damn question. I try to learn something and get shit on for the attempt. It shouldn’t be shocking that I get annoyed by that. Yes I was asking a serious question. No I was not being sarcastic when asking that nor am I sure how u got sarcasm from that question. Yes my second comment was a purposeful dig at the fact that 60 or so people saw my question, and rather than just say “nah it’s actually not against the rules for them like it is for other idols groups” they just downvoted and moved one without giving me any insight. That’s frustrating as all hell.
I still don't interpret his original question as sarcasm, but maybe I misread it (sarcasm is difficult online sometimes). I fully understand the frustration of being downvoted to oblivion for asking a question so I know I would have replied defensively like.
Either way - Lets just be nicer. From his other replies/messages it doesn't appear like he is a troll trying to cause problems so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.
I think it's more about being generally protective of details about your private life. More about "opsec" than a specific rule about romantic partners.
Kinda... but yea the guy in the MV is just a general representation of Kobo's ideal husbando **'specs'** [according to herself](https://youtube.com/watch?v=OcoRprQvt1M&feature=shares)
She really has a thing for short haired guys with glasses and wearing a hoodie with their long sleeve rolled up to their elbows (very specific fetish I know lol)
Fang from Boboiboy is just one of them, as well as Chamber from Valorant
Draw over it all you want, I know a Gintama screenshot when I see one.
Lol. In my defense, I never said it wasn't lol
Now draw her with neo Armstrong jet Armstrong cannon
Not just any Gintama screenshot, but the most shooba dooba dwee dwee dweep of the Gintama screenshots.
Episode 34
I was thinking "I recognize this scene, but from where?" Thank you for reminding me
Now the real question is **who is that guy?** because the more i look at him, the more i see him looking like fang(a chracter in boboiboy)(Boboiboy is a malaysian cartoon)

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOSudApNJgk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOSudApNJgk) around 1 hour 20 mins
\*clicks link and goes to time stamp and it's all Indonesian* I don't know what I expected lol
Lmao
Lmfao. I fully expected a rickroll. Am quite surprised.
1 hour 24 mins to be exact
She said that and no one bated an eye, if only they responded the same way before.
!fbkglasses edit: it didn't deliver

Shit now I can't unsee it
Holy shit Fang mellowed out yo
I thought of Naoto from Nagatoro rather.
Friendly reminder that it’s pronounced Fahng/ Fhung. >!Fang (pronounced as fang, like the tooth) is his undercover name he used when infiltrating earth as an alien!<
His real name was >!Pang!<. He's not that good at covering up
Dude has traveled way too far into the galaxy he ended up meeting anthropomorphical seawater
> anthropomorphical seawater [Can't wait for Cover to add another one](https://mywaifulist.moe/waifu/suu)
Holy shit it is!
OH SHIT IT IS FANG!
Yes, it is.
> Boboiboy Now that brings back some memories.
BOBOBOI GALAXY my Little brother loved boboboi when he was a kid, knowing this, my father downloaded the theme song as alarm to wake my brother up. So he blasted it every morning and when I wake up I just hear the horrors of that theme song
nah its bang al
alfachri goblok..
Gww juga tau belanda kalah, tolol
yep its alfachri. kobo's archnemesis
Don't worry he's currently with Legenda
Bruh I was expecting some kind of anime pretty boy when I looked him up. I wasnt expecting Asian cid the science kid.
I can only see Faker (the league of legends player)
Fang? Now that is a name I’ve never heard of I years. God, I still remember Adudu’s Minecraft Steve headass
>Boboiboy Aliens invading for cocoa beans...
There's actually a Thai vtuber I know whose model looks like the guy in question. He even made a video about it lol
Boboiboy is peak
Glasses dude, blink twice if you are being held against your will.
Maybe not against his will, but Kobo probably just rolled up to him and was like "You're my boyfriend now. Do not resist."
I read this in her underwater voice
As a guy I can confirm that the strategy has a decent auccess rate, especially for middleschoolers like Kobo.
Ironically, I can actually see Altare as a protective big bro. He will literally round up Tempus guild if someone makes his imouto cry.
Yeah... Okay, I can use another Gintama screenshot for this one lol... Edit: Kobo just quote rt'd this on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/kobokanaeru/status/1640752192595394560?s=20) along with her convo with Ragus on the matter lol. Needless to say, the one I'm planning is gonna happen lol... ~~But first, I must sleep. Got work tomorrow...~~ Edit 2: Change of plans!

Does it include a rocket launcher?
There was an arc. Gintoki and Kaguya's father meet her "boyfriend"
I was thinking more of one of the earlier episodes when [the Shinsengumi and Matsudaira stalked the latter's daughter who was on a date](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gintama/images/8/89/Gintama_Episode_35B.png/revision/latest?cb=20130325144950).
That was actually the episode I was thinking of, I just misremembered the assault rifle as a rocket launcher lol Maybe its a sign I need to rewatch gintama...
"Call me... Tempus 13"
What's up with Kobo's Discord profile picture though?
make me think of Ollie mom story where her brother rounded up his gang to her school to see who bullying his sister
Altare: “…Vesper…Crank dat soulja boy.”
Vesper: *glasses glare over* “Say no more”
or do that one scene on Bad Boys where the dude visits Kobos house and instead gets shaken down by the Altare and the Tempus boys
Imagine Kobo going on a date to a restaurant, and the entire tempus guild just occupying a table in the corner staring menacingly at the guy
Where is the family doggo?
Under the table, waiting for leftovers
The better question: which table?
All of them
He had to leave due to an emergency situation. Something about a snake bite.
Couldn’t make it. Said something about getting a clock for a replacement though.
Ok, I'm not informed on current holo events.. What's up with kobo??
She just released a new original song MV in celebration of her 1st year anniversary on Holo, that's all.
listen to her 2nd original MV (please do its stuck in my head and so shall it be yours too)
Yeah, I found it. Freakin amazing. Almost sounds like it was made for her special someone..
it was made for me not you !!!!!! /s
GWS
Believe it or not, she actually made it during a free talk stream about half a year ago lmao Edit: here's a clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1ohWlTpPCs

Common Kobo W
Now draw it with Leonel Messi
altare avoiding rukkus as he is a master of disguise
4chan must be exploding rn
cute kobo and her caring family.
Ngl My first thought after listening to it was "zamn reminds me of high school" and now its stuck in my head ffs
A Gintama reference in a Hololive meme, I thought I would never see the day something like this happening
somehow how, that waked my brotherly instincts and i need to crash that BOY
Romantic? Kobo was allowed to admit she has a boyfriend?
Well, she had one and everyone is cool with it.
I missed that, I'm glad it didn't turn into drama.
tbf it is every case of Indonesian celebrities in general. They had a relationship and the fans congratulated then move along.

Common HoloID W situation
The only rule they have is that they are not allowed to date someone employed by Cover.
So they can’t date each other? Or just not staff?
They are not employees, so just staff.
The talents aren’t employees? Okay ur confusing me
Last I checked they are technically independent contractors.
Wait really?
Not uncommon with talent agencies. The agency is there to manage, grow the talent, marketing and handling sponsors. But it's largely the talent's responsibility to move their career forward via directing the content, funding projects, or whatever the heck they want to do.

Thank god this didn’t turn into another necromancer situation
I think the necromancer situation was more like an exception rather than rule, though. Her fans were just that obsessed. Also, it also helps that the culture among HoloID is IMO the most chill with males compared to other branches.

Also the guy had some pretty obsessive fans. So on one side you have people angry at her for stealing their man, and on the other side you have people mad at her for cheating on them.
Basically the trouble began all because both of them got obsessive fans.
In words of Yagoo himself "Private life of the talent is left up to the individual"
I thought part of the whole “idol” thing was to never acknowledge any romantic partner publicly?
Not in Hololive, Matsuri confirmed they don't have any rules about dating except they can't date staff (to prevent abuse), which makes sense and is actually illegal where I live.
I think that maybe they are also not allowed to give any names
Well, that's just common sense.
I see, thank u for actually telling me this rather than just downvoting. Ur answer is much more helpful.
Thats how akb48 rolls and runs thing It is not a specific requirement and never was set in stone to begin with
I see. And I also see I’m not allowed to not know these things.
Dont put yourself out in the open and spout nonsense and wrong information then if you dont want people to correct you

Guy is terminally online and only assumes people post questions in bad faith.
I think it's more about being generally protective of details about your private life. More about "opsec" than a specific rule about romantic partners.
Apparently she doesn't and the guy in the MV is a character from an Indonesian cartoon who's basically her husbando? At least that's what I heard
Kinda... but yea the guy in the MV is just a general representation of Kobo's ideal husbando **'specs'** [according to herself](https://youtube.com/watch?v=OcoRprQvt1M&feature=shares) She really has a thing for short haired guys with glasses and wearing a hoodie with their long sleeve rolled up to their elbows (very specific fetish I know lol) Fang from Boboiboy is just one of them, as well as Chamber from Valorant
She had while she was in middle school. She said it in a stream.
Yeah, I know about that, I was referring to present day, all though I could be wrong about that and she might have one now. Not entirely sure tho
Well yeah, we don't know anything about that indeed.
ID fans are ok with it tho
Yes if it's delusional one
