Annika Kaname

Annika Kaname (otherwise known by her handle, CraftyKaname) is a Female English VTuber who started creating content on 1 August 2021.

Personality
Annika is known for her chaotic energy, which includes lots of screaming and curse words. Beyond gaming, she also loves to sing, play musical instruments, and do various arts & crafts.

Appearance
Annika has long blue or blue-green hair with twintails on each side. She has sideswept bangs parted on her left side and two side bangs framing her face. Her standard outfit includes black fitted pants, a black shirt with yellow stars, a v-neck red sweater, and wooden heeled fashion clogs. She also has a wallet chain adorned with star and moon charms on her left side.

Hair hairstyle toggles between long hair with and without the twintails. She also is occasionally bald.

2021
Her celebration for reaching affiliate in September of 2021 was a multi-part three-stream event beginning on 28 November 2021. This multi-part event featured her first karaoke stream, her first stream playing games with chat, and her first handcam crafting stream.

2022
On 14 February, she performed her second-ever karaoke stream, with a special setlist to celebrate Valentine's Day. She started a special bit during this stream, introducing a pre-recorded brother character in her own likeness named "Mannika," to sing duet songs with her. Since then, Mannika has been a recurring character in various streams and short-form content.

On April 26, she began using her new Live2D model, which she rigged herself. She has continued to make regular rigging updates to her model over time.

On 10 September, she held her first anniversary stream (referred to as her "Annikaversary").

2023
On 14 February, she held a special karaoke stream for Valentine's Day. Repeating the bit from the year before, she performed several duets with "Mannika." She expanded on this same bit by including a sister, "Sannika," for a musical trio. She also introduced a new bit where the stream was interrupted by a meme image of Annika as a bald heart, later named "Baldy." Baldy spoke in a robotic voice and demanded to pick the next karaoke song, to which Annika reluctantly obliged. "Baldy" was later added as an emote in Annika's Twitch channel named "crafty108Heart":



On 18 June, she did her first handcam cooking stream, where she made self-described "cursed food" from the new Neopets Cookbook. The cooking stream was one of her more popular streams of the year, which she also edited into a stream highlight.
