A thread exposing Cover Corp’s evil executive - the one behind the slanders of multiple Japanese Hololive talents, especially Sakura Miko.
Before you call this a 4chan schizopost, no it’s NOT. It’s not even a secret if you browse JPtwt.
I’m going to divide this into 3 parts.

2. Who is Takayuki Hatano?
Takayuki Hatano is the Head of Marketing of Cover Corp. How do we confirm this information?
If you look at his YOUTRUST page (Japanese career social networking service) you can see that he is working for Cover.

Not convincing? Now let’s have a look at his friend list.
He is friend with the person Mai Niikura (Cover’s production manager), and Mai Niikura is friend with YAGOO. Through this woman, we can clearly tell that Takayuki Hatano is clearly connected to Cover Corp.

STILL NOT CONVINCING? Now let’s have a look at this Japanese article.

You can see him talking about Hololive in the interview while working along side with Kaji Tarou (current Representative Director of CCMC, a Cover subsidiary that runs holo indie)

With that, we now know that there is indeed someone called Takayuki Hatano working for Cover Corp. Next, I will talk about his Twitter account @TakaHatano and Nico Nico Douga account. He also seems to go by the name “DOI-2”. So is there any impersonating or coincident?

In this tweet, the name “DOI-2” is mentioned. And guess who’s in the photo? It’s our beloved Takayuki-san. You can clearly see the mole and facial structure matching.
Now, it is confirmed that he is DOI-2 and the Twitter and NND accounts belong to him.

3. The connection between @TakaHatano and @V_Virgin_Mary
Now this is where it gets interesting…
Through Wayback Machine, you can see Takayuki’s now deleted Nico Nico Douga account was following this individual called “Virtual Buddha”.

Coincidentally, his followers called him “Buddha” in the past. He also likened himself to the Buddha on his now privated facebook.
All of this imply Takayuki is “Virtual Buddha”

Now we are certain that V_Virgin_Mary is Virtual Buddha, aka Takayuki.
These are the final nails in the coffin. When people were exposing him in the replies, he hid those replies and blocked them. I myself also dropped his real name and instantly got blocked, had my post hidden.

Conclusion:
Takayuki Hatano, one of Cover Corp’s staff, is the one behind the infamous Japanese account @V_Virgin_Mary responsible for the slanders against multiple Holo talents and he’s actively trying to hide his past. But everything posted on the internet stay on the internet.

Some additional information:
1. The issue involving Takayuki Hatano = Virtual Buddha already caused controversy once around 2020 (at the time, Virtual Buddha was engaging in Nijisanji hate, which led to backlash from Nijisanji fans)

2. Initially, he began with only anti Niji videos. However, over the years there have been videos of him praising Pekora while shitting on other members. He also made a video shitting on Pekora during the ROM incident, probably as a way to hide the fact that he’s a Nousagi.

3. The time when he started working for Cover was around the time when Virtual Buddha/V_Virgin_Mary started his first posting activity on Nico Nico Douga.

Most of the information gathered come from the Japanese, I’m simply a messenger. I made this thread with the intention of letting more overseas fans know about this situation. Please don’t use this thread to attack any talent in any way.

Also it seems like this thread is getting a lot of attention from JP. I realized that some of you 35P and Nousagi are fighting each others. I don’t wanna see that happening. Don’t put the blame on each others’ oshis.
The real culprit is this rotten piece of shit Takayuki.

And this means please don’t use this thread as a tool to boost your “Pekora receives preferential treatment”, “Hololive has faction and clique” narratives or whatever retarded slanders, thank you. We don’t really know what happen inside so refrain from talking about it.
