Overview
Amane Kanata is an angel Vtuber and member of Hololive 4th Generation. Kanata debuted on December 27, 2019[11] after the creation of her Youtube Channel on December 4, 2019. In a tweet, she states herself as a Student Council Secretary[12]. She is friendly and kind towards others. She describes herself as shy and conceals this fact by maintaining a cool facade. After using Microsoft PowerPoint in her debut stream, she was nicknamed PPT (PowerPoint Tenshi). However, fans often joke that PPT can stand for a number of things, most notably Perfect Pitch Tenshi for Kanata's extraordinary vocal range.
Kanata lacks a sense of fashion and has been called out[13] by fellow 4th generation member Kiryu Coco, who claims to only have ever seen Kanata wear two different outfits. She also lacks a sense for naming things, as revealed by a Twitter poll[14] for the name of her YouTube membership, the three options being "Kanatas", "THE Kanata", and "Kanata Fan Club".
Her representative emote is "dizzy", because it resembles an angel halo.
