Sakamata Chloe

Early career and streaming career

Sakamata made her debut stream on 29 November 2021.^[3] She reached one million subscribers on 18 February 2023, celebrating with a commemorative event at Aqua Park Shinagawa.^[4]

Sakamata's YouTube streams included Let's Plays.^[5] She was particularly skilled in shooting games like Rust; she once finished Green Hell in three days, playing for almost eleven hours in one day; and one stream showed her and Amane Kanata attempt to find an elytra, a rare item in Minecraft.^[6][7] Kai-You said that "her regular streams are full of her charm", and that "she often takes on the role of the straight man" whenever she's in a collaboration with other Hololive VTubers.^[7]

One of Sakamata's recurring streams was "Osusume Sakamata" (おすすめさかまた; lit. 'Recommended Sakamata'), where she recommended games that are difficult to stream.^[8] Another recurring theme was crowdsourcing, at one time involving tree decorations for her Christmas Day 2022 stream.^[8] Her April Fool's Day 2022 plan involved a mock radio show named Matamata Radio, with the debut episode being advertised as the "800th".^[8] She also appeared in Amane Kanata's video "Radi-con Interview! Miko ga haitta Kanata ni Sakamata ga Interview!!!", where she interviewed Amane when Sakura Miko voiced her; Tamagomago featured it on MoguraVR's Kono Dōga ga Sugoi! series during the week of 2 June 2023, saying that the video "perfectly showcases the humor of all three".^[9]

Musical career

Sakamata's original songs include "Jinsei Reset Button Pochi" (which she composed and wrote) and "Marionette".^[10] Kai-You said that "her passion for music is evident in the fact that she actually creates her own songs".^[10] She also did several covers, including Deco*27 song "Chimera".^[10] She held her first 1st anniversary concert in November 2022; Kai-You said that "each song is filled with Sakamata Chloe's cuteness and coolness, and including the attention to detail in the dancing and staging, it's a stream that you should definitely watch."^[10] She and Kazama Iroha held the virtual reality concert Cinderella Switch: Hololive Singing Together: Vol. 1 on 28 January 2023.^[11]

Sakamata joined Hololive's ocean-themed musical group Umisea in August 2022.^[2] She was part of the agency's Magical Girl HoloWitches project.^[12]

Personal life and retirement

Following two instances of a mysterious female voice during her 13 July 2022 singing livestream, Sakamata took a brief break from streaming and her 14 July 2022 member-only stream was cancelled.^[13] She also stayed at a different home after noticing mysterious sounds and other perceived paranormal activity in both her family home and her new home.^[13] In January 2024, she decided to take another streaming hiatus after testing positive for COVID-19.^[5]

On 30 November 2024, Cover announced that Sakamata's Hololive activities would cease on 26 January 2025, and that she would remain an affiliate with the agency afterwards.^[14][15] In contrast to graduation, where the VTuber ceases all future activities with their agency, her status provides leeway with allowing future activities to a limited extent, with Cover comparing this to "a graduate coincidentally showing up at their alma mater".^[16] She cited health issues from overwork, as well as plans to work outside of Hololive, as reasons for her retirement.^[17] She held a farewell concert, viewed over 2.4 million times.^[18]

As part of her downgrade to affiliate, she resigned from all Hololive projects she was involved with, including HoloWitches.^[19] Her members-only content was removed on 30 April 2025.^[14]
