Karuna Hanami (葉波かるな) is a Japanese Virtual YouTuber who made her debut on March 21, 2022. While her native language is Japanese, she is dedicated to daily Spanish language learning in order to become bilingual and create enjoyable experiences with her Hispanic community.

Profile
Karuna gained initial popularity on YouTube by uploading short videos before her official debut stream. These videos quickly gained a significant number of shares, contributing to her rapid growth.

Prior to her debut, Karuna took some Spanish lessons, enabling her to read both English and Spanish with relative ease.

In addition to her language-learning endeavors, Karuna has a passion for singing.
