Motoaki Tanigo is the CEO of Cover Corporation. Born in December 10, he graduated from Keio University with a degree in Faculty of Science and Technology and did game development for Sanrio Co. His nickname “Yagoo” which most fans know him as came from his talent Subaru Oozora who misread his name during a stream. As a result, the fans started referring to him by the famous nickname.
Tanigo started his business Cover Corporation back in June 2016. Cover started as a technology company before creating Hololive production a year later. Hololive is the leading VTuber company worldwide, going head-to-head with Nijisanji (owned by ANYCOLOR Inc) in the VTuber market as of 2020.
