Mano Aloe

Mano Aloe (魔乃アロエ, Mano Aroe) is a former female Japanese Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, as part of its fifth generation of VTubers alongside Yukihana Lamy, Momosuzu Nene, Shishiro Botan and Omaru Polka.

Background
She was introduced on hololive’s YouTube channel in a small introductory video along with the rest of the 5th Gen. on 6 August 2020. Her Twitter account was created in April, 2020, and posted her first tweet on 6 August. Her YouTube channel was created on 13 April, but didn't debut until 15 August. Her channel reached 100,000 subscribers on the first day of her debut stream.

2020
On 17 August, she posted a video apologizing for the unintentional leak of her Live2D model months before the official debut. The leak was in the form of a test stream on Twitcasting consented by her manager. However, after debuting on YouTube, the test stream was not removed prior. This was considered a breach of contract, and she was given a 2-week suspension merely two days after her official debut. She apologized to her fellow 5th Gen members and management team for her lack of foresight.

After the announcement of her suspension, Aloe stated that she would use that time to reflect on those events and to better herself. She hoped that, even after the sudden unexpected hiatus, viewers would give her a second chance and support her nonetheless.

While taking full responsibility for her actions, Aloe stated that she has been victimized of doxxing; as she was receiving calls from her home phoneline. Another person, later identified as her ex-boyfriend, was also contacted. Aloe stated that their relationship ended before she joined hololive and asked that the doxxing and harassment came to an end. In a later "apology" stream, she also asked viewers that she be judged based only on facts, and not on lies and rumors. She ended the stream hoping for people to wait for her return.

Retirement
On 30 August, hololive's official Twitter announced Mano Aloe's retirement. It was mentioned that she was both mentally and physically unable to continue her career as Mano Aloe, and in accordance to her wishes, Aloe graduated from hololive on 31 August.

Soon after her graduation, both her YouTube channel and Twitter profile were wiped of any remaining content.
