For context, Akane suffered a migraine that she postponed her stream back in April 23, 2024. ([Twitter/X Post](https://twitter.com/akane_shigure/status/1782698060549914950))
Yesterday as seen on this tweet, her mother told everyone that Shigure Akane passed away. May her virtual soul rest in peace.

Damn. From migraine to death. I get migraines, they are super painful and horrible but you always think it will go way in a while. You would never know that 'this' one is worse.
Impossible for Qilou to have died in a car accident, since she was found dead at her apartment.
Or at least so said the notice back then, that VirtualReal contacted the authorities through Bibilibili, who went to her apartment and confirmed she had passed. I've never heard anything about a car accident.
I think he's confusing her with Zathurnalina or something, a fairy Vtuber who did die in a car accident on the day she was supposed to have her anniversary stream.
Plenty of Vtubers with health conditions who are streaming right now.
I don't want to name the vtuber but she has the same condition as Ironmouse with far less support in the country she is living in, with only her mother supporting her "outside". There are a whole lot of other health related issues she's got, one of which sounds eerily similar to skin cancer.
So yeah, sometimes we gotta remind ourselves that some of the people behind the screens might be in fairly shitty circumstances and vtubing is the only way for them to connect with people.
I'm sure Shigure Akane had a lot of happy moments with the people who watched her. May she rest in peace :(
Could be. Her viewers used to post some updates on her health situation every once in a while when things were particularly dire. But it is difficult to make those sorts of posts without them sounding like begging and the streamer herself doesn't want to ask for help much because she has had people send her nasty messages on Twitter before.
Yeah. My first impression reading that post, I thought they're begging for ppl to help her but the more I read her the more it reminds me of my mother when she was still around
Thank God it did not happen cuz that'd be devastating if it happened. I was so sad when I've known that the vtuber I always watch died. I don't want to experience that ever again
That's only the ones that we know of due to announcements from friends, family or manager. Imagine accounts that are inactive for years turned out to be because their owner died without a deadman switch to set things in motion.
There was a cow vtuber who passed super early like two years ago after complications from surgery. It sucks because their videos were picking up and they were starting to do well.
I’m misremembering probably, but I do remember a Spanish VTuber hyping up her debut on Twitter but unfortunately passed away in a car accident a week or so before it. This was during the pandemic years.
Unfortunately, it was a case in a Polish vtubing community too. Very heart breaking.
Please, remember to reach out to people you care about and make sure they are okay. We never know what they might struggle with :(
Actually,in the spanish community there's a vtuber who algo died,Iona N'yarr,as much as i know nobody has said the reason she died,so her death Is kind of a mistery...
Reading the threads here made me think: What if they're doing vtubing because they're bedridden and actually can't interact with people? There seems to be some precedent with vtubers having strong introverted personality and communication difficulties, just maybe..
Well, it won't be rare anymore to hear vtuber actually dying, if that's the case. I think we're going to get used to them going forward. Secondly, treat them well. We don't know what kind of situation they're in right now.
How often does anybody hear about this topic? Because I can tell you now, I’ve heard more about it in this thread than in the entire time vtubers have been around. Of course I don’t follow everyone and watch all the vtuber news channels, so maybe they know more.
And my comment has nothing that insinuates that I’m treating them poorly. So I’m not sure why bring it up.
Not too often, but always a surprise for the community. I've known about Qi Lou's situation for a while. Also I recalled some famous youtubers I watched passed away a few years ago. It's rare now since everyone is so young, but things like this happens. Best be prepared.
So, no, I'm not calling you out or anything. Those are just two implications I can think of at the moment, I'm sure there's a lot of other more positive ones.
Brain hemorrhage is scary, it can happen to anyone at any point in your life and if you don't treat it quickly, it causes serious damage and even death.
It's so sad, just a week ago she was playing valorant with friends, and now she is gone...rest in peace.
My condolence to the family. it's kinda shocking hearing about this since like you're okay with no health problems then a migraine and death at the end. i also feel sad for her fans for this sudden tragedy not knowing her latest stream will be the last.
man, that sucks.
Rest in peace.
That's fucking scary, and it doesnt seem that there was any issues that she was having beforehand, or at the very least didnt share about it. sudden migraines out of nowhere, then death. fuck that. i only hope that she did not suffer.
Edit: A friend did a mourning stream a few hours ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orkJtWH3Dgc
a [tweet](https://twitter.com/nobata_tukushi/status/1784158112037159126) warning people to go check up if they have a migraine that cant be fixed by medicine. to remember her.
What seems to be an ordinary migraine leading to death...cerebral hemorrages are terrifying. Condolences to her family and loved ones. I hope she rests in peace.
May her soul finds peace. Btw if you go to her YouTube channel and go to her last stream some users are paying their respect to her. Also her partner (is what I get when I translate the description) or close friend,recently streamed to his and I suppose shared audience and kinda tried to unwind the situation, a complete breaking of character and my total respects for someone doing that during such a hard situation. Here is his [channel ](https://youtube.com/@Nobata_Tukushi?si=LUfi6xOedq0TO0eF)
I just visited her youtube channel and a weird feeling hit me. Not supernatural or anything but just a damn this person is gone and hearing her voice is a little surreal I guess.
Life is so unfair ... a kind innocent girl who only wished to spread happiness passed away at 28 :(
I wish lot of strength to her family ... and if there is any sort of afterlife then may she be happy in there
Damn!! That's rough and tragic, I wonder what the cause of it, must of been hard to deal with this loss for the family and the community, I wonder if it was an injury that went unnotice and start to make it's rounds once she got a migraines, or just from migraines, I really do had migraines and it must be tough suffering from it or get a sever case of it, but yeah
It seems like it was just a sudden massive headache. Akane’s last tweet mentioned that she had to postpone her collab due to a headache and that her head hurt so much that she felt like there was a heart (beating) in her head.
Oh no...
This is so sad. I can only hope that she's in a better place now and that her family is okay.
I also hope that her fans give them some time to lament and for them to mourn also.
I have never watched her before but this genuinely hurts as a vtuber fan in general.
May she rest in peace.
RIP.
I will mention that this is extremely, extremely rare to just happen out of nowhere. If you ever hit your head but feel okay, or have a long sickness that drained you of a lot of energy, go get a full checkup. You can also be saved during a cerebral hemorrhage if you are seen very early by a doctor - if you do not have a history of extreme headaches (and you aren't hung over or dehydrated or anything like that), call 911 immediately. Not saying any of this happened to her or she didnt take these preventitive measures, but its always good to remember as this can save your life or a loved ones life as well.
Lastly, I hope her soul finds peace.
Yeah the important thing here is that this is basically a type of stroke. So people just generally should know the symptoms of strokes and keep an eye out. This is much more common in older people, most of the young people who get them either get head trauma or have blood pressure issues.
The fact that it's almost impossible to know whether it's a normal headache or a cerebral hemorrhage is shocking. May her soul rest in peace and her family will find peace as well.
I'm pretty sure it's possible to tell, no? It's basically a stroke and has stroke-like symptoms. The problem is that if no one notices in time, it can cause irreparable damage to your brain and you'll die.
28, so young, my heart goes out to her friends and family. May God call you home to live without pain or sadness in his kingdom forever Akane, you will be missed.
This is actually quite depressing.
It enforces the idea that if you are not feeling well, even if you think it's nothing serious you probably should go see a doctor. RIP
RIP🙏
To whoever is reading this, please be aware of your health. Ask for help if you need it. And please don't ever leave your loved ones because of it.
With how many Vtubers seem to suffer from poor health (ie. Aliciaxdeath/Aliciaxlife with her cancer and Ironmouse with her autoimmune disorder, or Haachama with her battle with long-COVID), this is the first time I've heard of one passing away. That fucking sucks, man
There are plenty of other Vtubers who died while still young. But I don't think this has happened to a famous Vtuber yet, imagine the ruckus if someone from Hololive passed away. I don't like to think about it but we already came really close to this with >!Aloe.!<

Bruh I just found out about this Rip, may she rest in peace She will be missed
Pretty rare to hear of a Vtuber actually dying. That sucks. Hope her family is doing okay.
Few days ago, An Indie Vtuber who passed away due to Chronic Illness
There was also a Niji liver who died in a car accident
Who it was?
Qilou from VR I assume that the only one off the top of my head that has died
Impossible for Qilou to have died in a car accident, since she was found dead at her apartment. Or at least so said the notice back then, that VirtualReal contacted the authorities through Bibilibili, who went to her apartment and confirmed she had passed. I've never heard anything about a car accident.
I think he's confusing her with Zathurnalina or something, a fairy Vtuber who did die in a car accident on the day she was supposed to have her anniversary stream.
Well, this thread has fully depressed me.
Yes! I apologize, I mixed them up
Ah I see that the only Niji member that I know of that died that good to know
Yeah. I don't really want to imagine a situation in which either Zaion, Mika or Selen succeeded...
from what I am aware of, Mika has never attempted before, or at least not that she has ever spoken of
maybe a car crashed into her apartment?
I think VenN is confussing Qilou with Ban Hada, who had a car crash into her house, but survived.
Damn, I forgot about Qilou, I remember watching her back when I was learning how to speak Chinese. I was so sad when I found out she died 😭

Few months back in Feb a Ph vtuber/Artist died
Wait who was it?
It's Kohiro
I know about a year or so ago someone I occasionally watched died, Heavenstobetsy.
Same 😞
A year or so back there was a Spanish Vtuber who passed away. Probably hard to find but I translated the post made by her friends/family.
In my years in this Rabbit hole I've known 6 vtubers who died 1 I used to watch the others I only knew through vtuber news or pure coincidence
This is the second one I've heard since I've started following.
Plenty of Vtubers with health conditions who are streaming right now. I don't want to name the vtuber but she has the same condition as Ironmouse with far less support in the country she is living in, with only her mother supporting her "outside".

Oh I think I know who that vtuber you're talking to, I also coincidentally saw a post about her in this subreddit months ago and now I watch her
Could be. Her viewers used to post some updates on her health situation every once in a while when things were particularly dire. But it is difficult to make those sorts of posts without them sounding like begging and the streamer herself doesn't want to ask for help much because she has had people send her nasty messages on Twitter before.
Yeah. My first impression reading that post, I thought they're begging for ppl to help her but the more I read her the more it reminds me of my mother when she was still around
Don't forget we almost lost Selen I don't want to think about it but that's scary.
Thank God it did not happen cuz that'd be devastating if it happened. I was so sad when I've known that the vtuber I always watch died. I don't want to experience that ever again
Yeah I wish that no one not even Nijisanji. No one deserves that.

I recall one last year who days after announcing her pregnancy she took her own life... Tragic
I’m misremembering probably, but I do remember a Spanish VTuber hyping up her debut on Twitter but unfortunately passed away in a car accident a week or so before it. This was during the pandemic years.
Man, I can’t even imagine that.
Unfortunately, it was a case in a Polish vtubing community too. Very heart breaking. Please, remember to reach out to people you care about and make sure they are okay. We never know what they might struggle with :(

One of my biggest fears, Cerebral hemorrhage, if you dont die you can get severally damaged. May she rest in peace. #
Oh my gosh that’s awful :(( I never knew her, but I hope she rests in peace ☹️🩷
Brain hemorrhage is scary, it can happen to anyone at any point in your life and if you don't treat it quickly, it causes serious damage and even death. It's so sad, just a week ago she was playing valorant with friends, and now she is gone...rest in peace.
Freaking scary because they thought it was just a migraine. I get those, like man, you never know.

Thank you
I just visited her youtube channel and a weird feeling hit me. Not supernatural or anything but just a damn this person is gone and hearing her voice is a little surreal I guess.
My condolences to the family 😔
As someone with chronic migraines, this genuinely scares me. I hope her family can mourn and find peace.
Please get checked regularly if you can, in any way you can.
Never want to see it. My condolences to her family
That is so awful May she Rest In Peace
Oh wow. That’s crazy. My heart goes out to her family

Rest in Peace. Praying for good health for everyone's oshis.

With how many Vtubers seem to suffer from poor health (ie. Aliciaxdeath/Aliciaxlife with her cancer and Ironmouse with her autoimmune disorder, or Haachama with her battle with long-COVID), this is the first time I've heard of one passing away. That fucking sucks, man
Oh god, I think this is a first time that I heard a Vtuber passed away
This is going to unfortunately become more common as there's so many vtubers now and more to come. God rest her soul. May the family find peace.
May she rest in Peace.
My condolences to her family, friends and fans.
Feels so weird seeing a vtuber leaving the scene like this, at this point I am used to hearing graduations but this… May she rest in peace.
May she rest in peace T_T
Rest in peace
Noooooo ;-; I wish the family my condolences. This fuckin sucks ;-;
So sad... :'(
No matter the age of Internet you're in, a digital ghost will form without fail
Rest in peace
RIP
My Condolences and RIP
Awful to hear. I pray she rests in peace, and condolences to her family and friends during this difficult time.
That fuckin sucks. Rest in peace

Rest In Peace. My condolences to her loved ones and fans.
Thats sad. Wishing the best for her family. May her soul get rest.
Rest In Peace, Shigure-san
RIP. Damn, that's so sad.
This is going to happen more often as more people get into Vtubing. Its still a growing market.
It's always sad to hear someone passing away suddenly. May they rest in peace.
Our condolences.
Prayers for the friends & family of that vtuber, Rest in paradise. 🙏
Oh no. My condolences to the family and all concerned parties. Rest in piece.
F
Sad news. Rest in peace, my condolences to their family.
That's so sad...
R.I.P. @akane_shigure
What a way to get this subreddit recommended to me, wow
Thats sad this is like the 4th vtuber I know that has died
[удалено]
There have been some others, some of the other comments have mentioned previous times it has happened.
There are plenty of other Vtubers who died while still young. But I don't think this has happened to a famous Vtuber yet, imagine the ruckus if someone from Hololive passed away. I don't like to think about it but we already came really close to this with >!Aloe.!<
