'''Motoaki Tanigo''' (born December 10, 1973), known professionally as '''YAGOO''' is a Japanese CEO of [[COVER Corporation]].
== Career ==
Graduated from the Faculty of Science and Technology of Keio University. Afterwards did game development for Sanrio Co.
He was the CEO and helped develop the local news service 30min. Inc. which he sold to start a company focused on AR and VR technology in 2016 <ref>https://trek.hinative.com/en-US/it1/interviews/tanigo</ref>
He went on to found Cover Corporation in June 2016 which was first aimed at developing new content that utilizes AR/VR technology, as he believed that had lots of future business opportunities, before working in the Virtual YouTuber business.<ref> Retrieved from https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2020-09-02/meet-cover-corp-ceo-motoaki-yagoo-tanigo-the-man-behind-hololive-virtual-youtubers/.163495</ref><ref>https://cover-corp.com/about/</ref>
He still considers Cover to be a tech company.
He says he learned a lot from the first company he started and makes sure not to repeat the same mistakes.
There were some difficulties as hololive grew so suddenly and rapidly, they have to be careful with so many people streaming at once.
== YAGOO ==
Line 26 ⟶ 30:
He has said nobody really talked about him on streams before the nickname, but now he even shows up as a "model" showing off hololive merchandise.
== With hololive ==
hololive started with [[Tokino Sora]] and after they had gained experience with talent management with her and [[Roboco]], they debuted Gen 1.</br>
He first imagined hololive as streamers that came from a different or parallel worlds and came together as a group, while the concept is very different now he still thinks its very fun.</br>
The most important thing he looks for when hiring new talents are eagerness and determination, being able to stream almost every day is something you need determination for and he respects that. The person needs to be fit to stream in the long term as well.
He doesn't often join interviews for new talents, but before debut he still sees them face to face and introduces himself.
When asked about plans to expand to other countries, he said the focus is on the ones they're covering right now as overseas viewers need to be more aware of the male talents under Holostars (Though this interview was before [[Tempus]] debuted.)
