COVER
COVER was established in 2016 by Motoaki Tanigo in Tokyo. Tanigo serves as President and CEO and holds the largest disclosed stake. The company operates exclusively through its Hololive Production division. COVER focuses on early-stage talent and content creation. It deploys capital into virtual performer development, motion-capture infrastructure, and music label activities. Confirmed partnerships include Universal Music Japan for the Holo-n label and Google Japan on industry committees. Operations remain centered in Japan with no disclosed overseas offices. The firm maintains an integrated motion-capture studio and life-sized VTuber statues at its Tokyo headquarters. Motoaki Tanigo also serves as co-chairman of the Japan Online Games Association. No recent operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. COVER functions as a corporate operating company rather than a dedicated investment vehicle. Its structure ties capital allocation directly to the Hololive talent pipeline and associated physical assets.
