Famous Japanese VTuber Onomachi Haruka has officially announced her graduation from Nijisanji EN, marking a major moment for long-time followers who’ve supported her since she first stepped onto the scene back on 28 January 2019. ANYCOLOR confirmed that her final day of activity will be 25 February 2026, with all channel and social media updates stopping from 26 February onwards.

It’s the kind of news that hits fans right in the chest — not dramatic, just deeply bittersweet. Haruka has been one of those VTubers who built her presence through warmth, consistency, and a charming “innkeeper” persona that made viewers feel instantly at home.

What the Official Announcement Says

According to the formal notice released on 25 November 2025, Haruka’s graduation comes after seven full years of activity as part of the “Myth” unit. The statement highlights her steady impact across streams, events, collabs, and fan-facing projects.

ANYCOLOR expressed clear appreciation for her countless contributions, especially her dedication to gaming events and her widely recognised passion for baseball — something fans often cite as one of her most iconic traits.

Key points from the statement include:

  • Graduation Date: 25 February 2026

  • YouTube Membership: Set to go private on 26 February

  • Merch and voice content: Sales to be paused gradually

  • SNS Accounts: YouTube, X/Twitter (@HarukaOnomachi), and other platforms will stop updating after 26 February, with many archives becoming private over time

  • Fan letters: Accepted until 25 March 2026

The company also reminded fans to avoid contacting talents directly regarding this announcement — all enquiries should go through the ANYCOLOR customer desk.

A Beloved VTuber with a Distinct Legacy

Haruka isn’t just a well-known VTuber — she’s one of those talents who carved out a very specific, instantly recognisable niche.

She’s widely adored for:

  • Her gentle, comforting voice

  • Her ASMR expertise, complete with a separate sub-channel for sound-focused streams

  • Her genuine, unwavering love for baseball, especially the Yomiuri Giants

  • Her yearly involvement, either direct or indirect, in the major Nijisanji baseball event Nijisanji Koshien

Across the 2021 and 2024 seasons, she appeared as both a player and manager, and even when she wasn’t formally competing, her “HaruSupo” support streams became a fan-favourite fixture. 

Many fans in the replies are already pointing out how strange this year’s baseball event felt without her — and now, that sentiment hits even harder.

Onomachi Haruka’s Own Message to Fans

Taking to Twitter shortly after the announcement, Haruka shared a short, grounded comment:

“I want to spend these last three months having fun with everyone just like always. Please look forward to it!”

It’s simple, but it captures exactly what fans love about her — earnest, steady, and always putting enjoyment first.

Her graduation post has quickly exploded across X, amassing over 71k likes, 24k reposts, and more than 6 million views within hours. The mood in the replies is a mix of sadness, nostalgia, and gratitude.

Common themes in the reactions include:

  • Shock at losing one of the most recognisable voices in the Myth generation

  • References to her baseball persona, such as:

    • “No more innkeeper in baseball V…”

    • “The Koshien without her this year already felt odd.”

  • Hopes for final collabs with her fellow Myth members before she steps back

  • Reflections on recent graduations across Nijisanji and EN:
    “Support your oshi while you can — legends don’t stay forever.”

Some fans are also sharing favourite clips, ASMR moments, or Haruka’s funniest Koshien streams, turning the announcement post into an informal archive of her best bits.

Fan Club Notes and Extra Info

The official post also linked to a Nijisanji site page with further details for her fan club, Haruka Onomachi’s Home Salon. Most of the content there appears to be members-only, covering guidelines for her remaining activities, final updates, and membership handling post-graduation.

While the announcement doesn’t mention anything beyond graduation — no hints, no next steps — fans are already speculating about her future activities or a possible rebrand. For now, though, the focus is firmly on celebrating her last few months in Nijisanji.

Haruka leaves behind:

  • A long-running ASMR legacy

  • A strong presence in the VTuber baseball community

  • Countless streams filled with her trademark soft humour and relaxed energy

  • Seven years of consistent contribution to one of the biggest VTuber groups in Japan

Whatever comes next, it’s clear her fans will be cheering her on.
