Hayate Takanashi

Hayate Takanashi (高梨ハヤテ, Takanashi Hayate) is an independent female/pear (babiniku) Japanese/English Virtual YouTuber, who debuted on the 11th of November 2020.

Hayate is a Native Japanese speaker, but streams mostly in English. She also has tried to learn Bahasa Indonesia and Portuguese.

Her first gaming video was aired on Nov 13, 2020, which gained thousands of views. Her most viewed video is called Hayate-chan Energy Drink 24 Hours【Summer in your Body】, which aired on Aug 27, 2021 and gained 335k views.

Her first stream was aired on Nov 29, 2020, which also gained thousands of views. Since then, she has mostly played video games on stream. She is pretty good at rhythm games (such as Muse Dash and Rhythm Heaven Fever), and is a god at Minesweeper. However, she dislikes playing rage games (especially Jump King).

Other than playing video games, she has made radio talk streams, chatting streams with viewers, Japanese language lessons, travelogues, cooking streams, karaoke streams, drawing streams (sometimes with viewers, such as in Sketchful.io, Magical Draw, and Gartic Phone), and exploring worlds in Cluster (metaverse app) with viewers, among others.

She has also occasionally done various unique streams, such as purchasing land from the moon, punching on stream for 6,000 seconds, singing HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA 128 times in a row, cooking a dish recipe written in a foreign language, and reviewing audience-submitted entries.

In August 25, 2021, she has introduced using a camera to broadcast her activity live on stream, but it wasn't used in a cooking stream until September 28 of that same year. Since then, she has made more live cooking streams than game streams. She likes to make her food visually-appealing as well, and her most well-known creations include VTuber-themed lunchboxes and VTuber icing cookies.

Recently she does cooking streams, as well as her ongoing series of VTuber icing cookie making streams, and Latte art.

Hayate's fears include: Elevators, Jump King
