Mococo Abyssgard (モココ・アビスガード) is an English speaking Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive. She debuted in 2023 as part of hololive -Advent-, the third generation of members of hololive English, alongside Shiori Novella, Koseki Bijou, Nerissa Ravencroft and her twin sister Fuwawa Abyssgard with whom she shares her YouTube channel and Twitter account as the unit FUWAMOCO.

Profile
"Ehehe, it's play time, whether you're ready or not!"

The fuzzy younger twin sister of The Demonic Guard Dogs, who were sealed away in The Cell for being a pain in the godly behind, Mococo Abyssgard is "The Fuzzy One." The rambunctious Mococo spent all her time imprisoned watching anime and playing games, often roping her older twin sister Fuwawa and their pet Pero in for more chaotic antics. It's rumored that she took part in the prison break just for the heck of it.

Background
Following the debut of hololive English second generation -Council-, hololive English announced a permanent English language audition page on 30 December 2021. An update to the audition page on 7 September 2022 sparked speculation of an upcoming English third generation.

The FUWAMOCO YouTube and Twitter accounts were originally created on 12 May 2023, one day after the rest of the group's accounts, although they contained no content at this point. Fuwawa and Mococo share an account.

The third generation of hololive English, -Advent-, was first teased on the hololive English Twitter account with a short video on 22 July 2023. This was followed by another teaser video on 23 July, showing five new characters.

On 25 July, the hololive English YouTube channel posted a video titled Wanted!, revealing the five members of -Advent- and announcing their upcoming debuts. At the same time, the FUWAMOCO duo also posted a short teaser video and made their first tweet.

All -Advent- members' YouTube channels reached 100,000 subscribers within twelve hours of the announcement. On July 30, the FUWAMOCO channel reached 200,000 subscribers prior to the sisters' debut.

Debut
Fuwawa and Mococo made their debut stream on Sunday, 30 July 2023 from 8:45 PM to 9:30 PM PDT (Monday, 31 July 31st from 12:45 PM to 1:30 PM JST). Their debut reached over 119,000 viewers at peak. During the stream they also previewed their first original song "Lifetime Showtime." The stream was followed by the release of their first cover, "KAIBATSU."

Fuwawa and Mococo were the final members of hololive -Advent- to debut. In hololive tradition, this was followed by the generation all-member group collab stream. This was in turn followed by the release of their first group song, "Rebellion."
