== With hololive ==
hololive started with [[Tokino Sora]] and after they had gained experience with talent management with her and [[Roboco]], they debuted Gen 1.

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.)
