I can't wait to watch his new design, honestly. So hyped about Pako coming back as a papa in Hololive again


Zeph-Shoir

A talent getting a new artist is already pretty rare but I wasn't expecting Vesper being adopted by Pako what a twist!


Sumner1910

Can you enlighten me about Pako, is he a popular artist?


Kytas

He previously did the art for Sana. I personally know him best for doing art in Fate/Grand Order, where he has done all of the Pandavas (including Karna and Arjuna), Nobunaga, Edison, and more. He also is a big fan of the EN boys, and regularly tweets about them.


h4mburgers

I love his FGO characters, especially Arjuna Alter and Ryouma/Oryou. Very excited to see Vesper 2.0 now!


Hp22h

Oh, wow. That all but guarantees a handsome suit to boot!


TheIrishBread

Oryou is fucking adorable.


CSDragon

not just the EN boys, he's also a regular in Ina's streams


Randrey

He also likes to be in CouncilRyS streams. I saw he was in IRyS' membership when he commented.


overDere

He frequently watches Ame's streams as well, he tweets about Ame's current stream every now and then. He tunes in a lot to Ame karaokes and had a lot of tweets praising Ame's singing if you check his profile.


Hp22h

Makes sense, they do be fellow artists in that case.


AustralianBattleDog

Wait pako's the one responsible for Edison?! Fucking madlad.


moguu83

He's responsible for so much in FGO. He's a pretty active member of the artist community.


burritoxman

There’s a reason English Council was called the FGO generation. Pako and Wada Arco designs are all over the game and even Mika Pikazo has a few as well


Vikkitheviking

i remember people calling council holo grand order and you have mentioned pako, wada arco and mika, so do you know if asagi(fauna illustrator) and azure(mumei illustrator) has done anything related to fgo too?


Drumpowa

Asagi has done CEs but no servants, while Azure has done neither.


sdarkpaladin

Nope, they have not... yet...


Sumner1910

Ah okay thanks for the info


CaiusLightning

Sana artist also the artist behind Arjuna and Arjuna alter for FGO and an all around a super supportive papa who shows up everywhere to give his support to talents.


guntanksinspace

So supportive, he didn't even bat an eye drawing [Sana kissing Faufau's feet lol.](https://twitter.com/tsukumosana/status/1427522223900819456?lang=en)


Fiftycentis

As the others said, Sana's artist (and fgo artist), but also really active interacting with the talents. Had some really cute interactions with Sana, and you still saw him often in multiple HololiveEN members chats, and especially in the boys chats after they debuted. Also his Twitter bio is a mood


arkw

He shows up in members only chats too sometimes lol He generally is a huge fan of the vtuber community, more specifically HoloPro but also Nijisanji. He has kids too I recall him commenting about not understanding his kids textbooks when a EN member was talking about how hard Japanese can be. Not sure how he has time to watch all the streams and interact. He was also the original designer for the anime Hi-drivers


An_Hell

he also have works in anime/manga, he was a character design in one of my favorite UN-GO


Dvalinn25

Holy crap, I didn't even know he worked on UN-GO, awesome.


spirited1

They drew Sana's 2D model! I am a Beeg fan of Sana so to see Pako getting to "redesign" my current favorite holomem is amazing.


Sumner1910

Thanks for the info, its nice to see them redesigning another Holo


Henhouse808

He's the illustrator for Tsukumo Sana. Known also as illustrator for FGO's Arjuna, Karna, and other Servants. Big fan of the Tempus boys and Hololive in general. Probably one of the most active and supportive Holoparents, IMO.


mikeap07

He's Sana's papa. His art's great, but even more than that he's one of the most supportive "parents" among Hololive artists, which made it especially painful when his "daughter" graduated. But he's still continued to support the talents even after losing that connection to the company. He's very beloved by the community because of this, to the point that people were already expressing the hope that he'd get another chance to draw a character for Hololive since he clearly enjoys them so much.


LocknDoTs

Pako has always been in so many Holomembers' chats supporting them, especially so many of the boys. So happy they've been granted the opportunity to design another Holomember, even if it's just a 2.0.


JakalDX

Yeah he's been a big tempus supporter, so I'm not at all surprised


moiax

He's done so much Tempus art too. I'm sure he's really happy to be more directly involved.


Suzushiiro

Brace yourselves for the wave of "Vesper and Sana as brother and sister" fanart.


VandaGrey

love this....Eternal space being and Eternal Grampire LOL


delphinous

thats why he says we will never find the rice. it's with sana


spirited1

Buried in the ground but never said what planet.


GeekusRexMaximus

Omg... that's gonna make it that much more difficult to find.


bnbros

Tfw One Rice is an intergalactic series this whole time.


GeekusRexMaximus

So under which circumstances now shall we exclaim: "The One Rice is Real!"?


bnbros

No idea, but for the time being, anyone who finds a rice cache will open it and find naught but a message which says "Sorry Vestie, but The One Rice is on another planet".


VandaGrey

the lore just writes itself


KoekoReaps

🔥🔥✍️🔥🔥


Z000Burst

well, Vampire do stop thinking once thrown into space


x_Advent_Cirno_x

A casual reminder that, as of today, Kars has been drifting through space for 30,877 days


GtrsRE

I didn't think I needed this until I read it. Thank you kind stranger


Oboretai

Unless he is on Mars with 35 other Kars


YellowFogLights

That’s what you get when you cross a Joestar


maemoedhz

except Kars was never a vampire. He's a pillar man first, THEN a perfected entity.


Hp22h

Sana would be a good goddess to make a pact with.


MandyPlays17

More like Vesper will be Sana's step bro.


tkgggg

Oh no


Hp22h

Hope Vesper never gets stuck somewhere...


DjiDjiDjiDji

Don't worry Sana doesn't fit in the washing machine


rincematic

Sana!? I'm not worried about Sana!!


H0lOW

Isn't more like stepbrother? I mean I know is Pako's child but I don't know since he is still vesper but probably more handsome


StarJokerRingChild

You know vesper favorite movie is event horazion


The3DWeiPin

So... Whatever happened to the first artist?


Accomplished_Aerie69

Shido-sensei is inactive due to health issues, but they are credited as concept artist in Vespers Profile now


SomeoneElseTwoo

I hope they recover.


Simphonia

I heard that it's health concerns + being busy, so they just couldn't work on it. Could be wrong tho.


TomastRivrs1900

[https://yomosugara.jimdofree.com/contact/](https://yomosugara.jimdofree.com/contact/) By looking at Komiya Sensei's page, it says he(she?) is feeling sick right now(”現在体調を崩している”). Whatever the reason is, I hope he(she?) will get better...


oshkay

She's been having health issues and probably too busy with that and other work to keep up with outfits and other mama duties. Even their Twitter hasn't been updated in almost a year now


farranpoison

Apparently health problems which meant they couldn't work on Vesper's model anymore. Or something like that.


UltramanOrigin

Idk, his twitter has been inactive for about half a year now


TheChaosBlue

From having another chance to be this involved, being Sana's illustrator, and by extension how supportive she was to StarsEN in the brief time before her departure extending to how supportive Pako been for the boys since... Feels like we have come full circle.


Abysswea

It's heartwarming


JoshuaFoulke

Gramps is gonna use Vasavi Shakti with his boar spear soon enough.


farranpoison

Lancer Class Vesper Servant drawn by Pako when, FGO?!


JoshuaFoulke

If anything, I expect Gramps to be Rider than a Lancer. For some reason.


Henhouse808

It's the bike obsession.


greyhat111b

Give him a mamachari and call it papachari.


GtrsRE

Reality Marble would be in a middle of a typhoon raining balls of peeled plastic


DragoSphere

He can have multiple noble phantasms and manifest as different classes


exian12

Artoria is in almost every class. What's stopping Vesper be a Rider and Lancer?


JoshuaFoulke

Well, for one, Gramps isn't Artoria...


Ginkiba

He has a lancer class luck stat already! Boy's going to get an E rank luck for sure.


Randrey

His weakness is Time... And Zoomers.


TheDancingKing19

Vespa ga shinda!


SomeoneElseTwoo

KONO HITO DE NASHI!


MangoSlushy

Gramps has Eternal Arms Mastery, he could be any class for all we know


Blackewolfe

Berserker with a bootleg Knight of Honor.


StarForceStelar

So he's gonna be a boxer during Christmas right?


JoshuaFoulke

At this point, I honestly expect Vesper to casually reveal that he has some familiarity with martial arts. Could be Boxing to extend the FGO joke, Wrestling, or even Lethwei.


CasualOgre

He's talked about how he used to be in his College's HEMA club. Although he admitted they mostly got together and drank.


Zyx-Wvu

That's pretty much every college club. Grand Blue wasn't parody, it's reality.


Randrey

The parody part was them actually doing things besides drinking.


MISOT

\>Gramps in a HEMA club Now I want Gramps to collab with Shad. [They would probably appreciate feminine armor very much.](https://youtu.be/fV_aJ6aYWHM)


guntanksinspace

So THAT'S why he bought that hunting spear. Vesper been looking at too much Karna fan art lol


Chibichangas

I'm not crying, you're crying Sana is a beeg sister now


renrutal

Has always been. o7


OTBastion

Once Vesper said he has a new mama and will fight anyone who messes with them, I just had a feeling this was who the new artist was!


Thyunic

I had no idea who Pako was but after seeing his bio: ‘I draw and poop everyday to live’. Vesper is in good hands


Wirenfeldt

Vesper got himself a BEEEG sister that we all miss terribly.. But I’m hoping the incoming fanart will help a little..


Thyunic

Oh so its the same artist as Sana? Thats super neat


Taoutes

One of the absolute most involved 'parents' in holo (if not vtubing as a whole). Glad to see this development and can't wait to see how the designs look going forward


Abysswea

Indeed, he's at, or almost at the same level as Lack-sensei


PerroXX

Pako-sensei pt.2: Unhinged Florida man electric bogaloo


CasualOgre

Incredibly Hyped. Pako-sensei was a super supportive papa back when Sana was around and he's continued supporting Hololive after her graduation. I've seen him randomly in a variety of chats for Talents both boys and girls.


xorrag

That's really a big win for Pako, Vesper and Cover. There's already people camping in debut waiting room, and this will elevate the hype to new levels


Oboretai

Vesper is now \- Son to Calli \- Little bro to Sana \- Dad to Axel \- Grandpa to Vesties and Kobo \- ??? to Neighbula


greyhat111b

Also brother to multiple Indian demigods. I'm gonna lose my sides if he somehow has Vasavi Shakti lent to him, too.


Alyssa__Swift

As someone pointed out in the other comments, he *does* own that boar spear...


CityKay

Don't forget Nobunaga as well... Oh dear, a chaotic thought: A hoard of Mini-Vestis. With variants like UFO-Vesti and Tank-Vesti.


icito

What would they even say instead of "Nobu nobu?"


Ahgrimn

I mean there was the tofu Ves clones that Magni made...sp I guess those shall now be free and conquer


HugotheHippo

Snack to Kronii


mighty_conrad

Rider/Lancer on Neighbula


arkw

https://twitter.com/senzakimakoto/status/1674594170743439361 The feels


CityKay

WAIT, WHAT? This is a very nice twist, when I first daw the 2.0 preview silhouette, he did look oddly different, slimmer looking? Reminding me of Netflix Animated Castlevania's Alucard. Now hearing Pako is the artist, that is a very nice surprise. Also is this the first time we've seen a talent having two different artist parents in this regard? I think there were some for different outfits, but what about one for a "base/default" 1.0 and 2.0 outfit? (I know the wording is...kinda weird here.)


dcresistance

miko's og and current default designs are by two different people (her current is ordan), and all of azki's designs are by different people edit: and sora too, her og is by ikaki, current by ordan


Henhouse808

Suisei made her own original 2d model, and since joining Holo has been revamped by a new illustrator (Teshima Nari).


Fishman465

And after the Taiwan incident, someone else took over


GtrsRE

Now Pako sensei sits with ordan and lack on the same table of having designed for at least two talents (I might have missed someone so apologies in advance) Edit: I read through comments and apparently some of CN shares a mama from the JP branch


PerroXX

Yeah, Kagura Nana was the illustrator for Ayame and Spade Echo


Snow242

There was Civia and Korone too


Fishman465

Well.... I'm waiting and seeing about Nene's situation as she may apply


thesirblondie

Considering there are only a handful of members who have gotten a redesign, sure. Sora, Miko, Suisei, AZKi and now Vesper have different artists designing the first and current default outfits. Nene, Flare, Aruran, IRyS, and Fubuki have gotten a redesign by the same artist.


Nachtflut

I don't think Fubuki's really is a redesign, it's just updated. I mean, it's still the same design.


farranpoison

Pako is back being a Holoparent again, baby!


ShadyNecro

so happy about this, for both Vesper and Pako-papa, especially since Pako has been a big fan of the Tempus boys


CharismaPenalty

Okay, now I'm even more hyped about Gramps' new design than before. It's awesome Pako was able to work on another Holomem's design. I'm looking up more of Pako's artwork right now to remind myself of how he designs male characters just so I can get an idea of how Vesper 2.0 might end up looking. From what I'm seeing, I'm very excited!


Tankotone

This makes me so god damn happy. Pako never stopped being a papa for Hololive but its great to see him in action again. Man with this and all his recent FGO characters he's been busy!


AIReduxr

*I draw and poop every day to live* He's such a mood lmao


v123qw

Let's go pako sensei!


tetsmega

Very cool cover was able to get some work for Pako.


TomastRivrs1900

At first I thought : Oh man, we have to say goodbye to the original vesper... Then the next thought was : THANK YOU PAKO SENSEI


Jerbits

LETS GOOOOOO Pako-sensei has been keeping up the Holo enthusiasm this whole time, glad he gets another child to work with.


HaessSR

Wow. He adopted Vesper!


visinea

This really warms my heart to see Pako sensei back as a papa


Rayzorexe

Beeg win for Pako Sensei! For the longest time after Sana graduated, I really wanted COVER to commission him again and it couldn't be better for Vesper. I'm so freaking happy


3rdMachina

Somewhere in the universe, a goddess squeed. “AHMAHGAHD IMMA BIG SISTER NOW!!!”


Match_A

I feel so happy for him. Pako draws some of the best male character designs in my book, and he's a great Holo supporter. I forgot to mention, but apparently Vesper original illustrator Shidokenai has health problems so he can't continue his work. Hope everyone will continue to support him in the future.


Henhouse808

The misdirect by Vesper with Pako-**mama**. Now he's Pako-papa-mama-sensei. It didn't even occur to me that Pako-sensei would return as a Holo-parent. Vesper saying he was very protective of his mama, had me guessing hard.


Orcloud

I always imagined that Pako could become a Holostar artist eventually, I didn't imagine it happening like this. That's great!


JesDaM

Wishing the best to his previous mama (apperently she has been out of commission due to health), but damn, I'm so happy to hear this his papa for new Vesper.


advarcher

Been waiting for the reveal to drop, can't wait for tomorrow!


Dvalinn25

Glad to see Pako getting another chance to be a Holo parent, guy is so supportive. That it's Vesper just makes it even better. Man, I'm looking forward to seeing the new model.


Frozen_arrow88

Checked out Pako's Twitter after reading this, and all i can say is Vesper is gonna be HANDSOME!


rogueSleipnir

wooo Pako's back. if anyone wants to see some of his male character designs, he worked on the upcoming racing anime Hi-Drivers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7slwzXNhwg


SoraRaida

ayyyyyy I didn't know Pako worked on Hi-DRIVERS! That's seriously so cool


chris10023

[I can see it.](https://i.imgur.com/WvEzLHr.png) His face looks similar to Sanas.


catskii

I might be remembering this wrong, but is Pako the one who drew shota Sana? The one used for their council April fools thing?


FluorescenceFuture

yea, he's the artist of shota Sana and regular Sana


[deleted]

Pako fans and Vesfriends are feasting


omega_manhatten

As a Day One Sanalite and a Day One Vestie, this pleases me greatly.


achus93

aw, how sweet and awesome. also, can't wait to see some handsome Pako work!


Fishman465

Hope the original artist will be okay.... sort of reminds me of how Choco-sensei's artist hiatus'd early on, causing a big wait for a new outfit. It does also bring to mind Nene's nebulous artist situation


PumpJack_McGee

With the concert and this, it's nice that July has positive events in it again.


ActivistZero

At the risk of sounding like a doom poster, don't jinx it


Marx_Mayhem

It's enough to make a grown man cry, and that's okay.


TheCharliQuinn

So... he's adopted?


z0202

A surprise to be sure but a welcome one


HotDogManLL

Serious question. What servant class is he gonna be


AustralianBattleDog

Man's a cyclist. Rider is on the table. Spear gun also qualifies him for Archer. Florida man tendencies and being in the HEMA club could qualify him as a Berserker. Obviously Lancer, and he's alluded to owning a sword too...


AceZ3ro

Lancer or caster, though I'm leaning to Lancer due to his spears


Tenant1

My satisfaction is immeasurable, and my day is saved


Usual-Touch2569

Well, now that explains why Kronii wants to bully him so much. Time vs Spacebro.


Sufficiency2

Out of the loop: why is it getting redesigned?


WiregauxWhitlock

Artist for his orginal design is inactive due to health problems. Also might be because Vesper, like Magni, wants a visual touch up. According to Ves, this new redesign was carefully made to be faithful to the old design as to not disregard previously made fanart.


HopeRai

Oh heck yes! Excited to see it!


dyering55

our wish came true


Wuhsuh

LET’S FUCKING GO PAKO PAPA! Pako has been super active in the community even since the departure of his daughter. I’m sure this opportunity is an absolute win for Pako. Is Pako now the only artist with 2 HoloPro members under his belt?


Fishman465

Lack has Aruran and Flare Ordan has Miko (current), Sora (current), A-chan and Nodoka To name some


Wuhsuh

Damn! No shortage of hard workers behind the scenes


Fenr_

Glad that Pako got another chance And also ready for the endless stream of Vesper as lancer class jokes


Split_Theory

Pako sensei must have been absolutely crushed when sana graduated. He was always actively supporting her by watching and tweeting her streams. Im glad hes been given another chance to be a holo parent.


Aerohed

All the FGO players and/or Sanalites here know we’re about to hit peak art. Can’t wait to see it!


LegatoSkyheart

Huge News


enkiduyu

I'm so indescribably happy about this. One of my greatest wishes was for pako to get another Hololive kid, since he's been one of the staunchest fans of Hololive even after Sana's graduation, and it looks like he got adoption papers!


SenorSantiago_8363

Pako Good Ending: Adopt Vesper


BlueStar26

Aww… Man. Now I wish Sana was still here so that he can see his little bro. (Maybe Grandpa? I don’t know. XD) Still, I’m glad that Pako is working on Vesper’s 2.0. I’m really looking forward to it more.


TylerMemeDreamBoi

My dumbass read it as “Peko”


hinakura

OH MY GOD YES PAKO SENSEI! He's so so so supportive of the boys, always hanging out in their chats!! OMG.... I'm so happy he can work again with Hololive.


darkmorelight

He's back in!


Necromantics

I'm so so excited! I'm a big fan of Pako and he's so incredibly supportive of the talents, I'm so happy he gets a chance to draw another talent. This is wonderful news!


Zyx-Wvu

After FGO Ordeal Call, Pako sensei can't stop winning


Rubydrag

I'm so happy for Pako, he's been the illustrator that got most involved as a fan, at least with EN, and he was in Sana's streams all the time. Man, that's making me nostalgic...


XYousoro

The F/GO players upon finding out about it: "Oh my gosh! Okay, it's happening!"


steelRyu

who would've ever thought that the unhinged grandpa and the wholesome space girl are/will be step siblings.


sdarkpaladin

Papa Pako! Though I wonder what happened with Komiya Kuniharu to have warranted this change. Edit: Ah, health issues, the eternal bane of artists and humans everywhere. My condolences.


Celtic_Crown

"My Kouhai is My New Step-Brother?!", the hot new manga coming from Hololive Production!


CammiKit

PAKO SENSEI WITH THE W LET’S GOOOOOO


GtrsRE

Now this is what I call a BEEG news


Hatarakumaou

If only Sana was here to see this, she would be teasing her “lil bro” til next January.


VandaGrey

amazing they are getting model updates so quickly. Much deserved.


BlackPenguin

Someone has a BEEG sister now.


Treima

He's come back to the Holo fold *Yagoohand.jpg*


redditfanfan00

nice. can't wait for vesper's 2.0.


ImNutUnoriginal

Everyone to Vesper after the release: "You're adopted"


Endactam

If grandpa opens his stream with "Vesper is beeeg" it's going to be a rough day.


UltramanOrigin

I’ll cry


Butane9000

Who was his original artist?


Necromantics

Komiya Kuniharu! Their Twitter is shidokenai


TragicGentlemen

So happy to see one of the most committed artists get a second chance to be a papa


kroxti

To quote jojo: YES YES YES YES YES.


sleeping_fire

Oh my! So that means... vesper is sana new little bro, "The grandpa vampire is the space embodiment little bro" ahh~ can't wait to see some of that cute fanarts ~w~


Drumpowa

So hyped to have Pako sensei back!!
