VShojo Director of Talent Panini left the Vtuber company in July 2025. On July 10, 2025, a statement appeared on the former staffer’s official social media account. No specific reasons were mentioned as a cause for the departure.
The statement from Panini noted this move happened after starting at VShojo in 2022 and spending three years with the Vtuber organization working with talent and eventually being director of talent. It also noted an intention to keep working in this sphere as a consultant or as management on individual projects. However, Panini did note anyone interested in her services would need to wait for a response and services for a “couple of weeks.”
Here is the full message from Panini going over the move and what will happen next:
Multiple current and past members of VShojo responded to Panini’s statement, as did other Vtubers and individuals in the sphere. Among the performers sharing well wishes were Ironmouse, Henya, Geega, Shylily, AmaLee, CyYu, Buffpup, and Sayu Sincronisity.
This is one of multiple notable VShojo departures to come up in 2025, as both Vtubers and individuals in executive and management positions left. Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder Phillip “MowtenDoo” Fortunat left in May 2025. That month is also when Matara Kan parted ways with the company. Two other performers who left within the last few weeks are Geega and Zentreya.
