Background

She was first revealed as part of holoX, the sixth generation of the Japanese branch of hololive, in an introductory video posted on 26 November 2021 at noon JST. She made her first tweet at the same time, declaring 「吾輩怪しい者でないぞ」 - "I'm not a suspicious person!"

La+ was the first of her generation to debut, making her first stream on the same day as the announcement, 26 November 2021, at 9:34 JST. She reached over 250,000 YouTube subscribers within three hours of debut, following it with a stream to select her fan name.

Trivia

 * La+ Darknesss is 139 cm tall, making her the shortest member of Hololive yet, just 1 cm less than Himemori Luna and 2 cm less than Gawr Gura.
 * It is unclear if this figure includes the height of her horns.
 * Her fan slogan is "Yes My Dark". It is sometimes abbreviated "YMD", which in turn is read as the very common Japanese surname "Yamada".
 * La+'s name is also written "Laplus", including in her YouTube channel name and Twitter account name. This may be because the plus character is not always allowed in account names, and is ignored by some search engines.
 * Written in Japanese as 「ラプラス」, "rapurasu", her name is a homonym for the French name "Laplace", such as the mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace, several mathematical functions named for him, and a space colony appearing in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. It is also a homonym of the Pokémon Lapras.
 * She uses the Japanese pronoun "wagahai" to refer to herself. This is an uncommon and archaic term which connotes arrogance.
 * As a horned figure bent on world domination, La+ resembles the archetype of the Maou, a demon overlord often appearing in Japanese popular fiction. She shares this trait with Nijisanji member Emma★August.
