The eternal chicken VTuber Takanashi Kiara has seen her YouTube channel taken down today with YouTube claiming that her channel had "multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, deceptive practices and misleading content or other Terms of Service violations." Kiara went to Twitter as she found out saying that she "literally never got a copyright strike or demonitized whatsoever, so idk why i suddenly got uh..banned??".

Takanashi Kiara is part of Hololive's first generation of English VTubers and has spent her few months on YouTube bridging the gap between the Japanese VTubers and the other mythical creatures of the English 1st generation with her collaboration streams and weekly talk show HoloTalk. As of the channel being taken down, SocialBlade estimates that Kiara had amassed 571k subscribers since her debut in September.

Takanashi Kiara's designer, known affectionately as "Papa", is Steins;Gate original character designer huke, who also drew the cover image of the phoenix's first single "Hinotori", which released on November 26 on her YouTube channel. As of writing, it's not known if or when Kiara will get her channel back, but a phoenix always comes back to life! At least for the sake of the KFP empire!
