Rune Bunnura has graduated. She has implied in many occasions that she's recruited to a corp, including her last tweet. On early November under her announcement tweet, she has mentioned she didn't expect this opportunity to present itself and learned that she got it very recently. It's a "once-in-a-lifetime" thing for her. Date might fit with Idol EN auditions which happened in August iirc
OP updated with a whole bunch of changes, thanks jannies. God, it's been a busy two months.
One thing I'm a bit iffy on are smaller corpo reincarnations, eg. Globie. I just don't have the time to deep dive them, willing to bet at least some of the graduated list do have reincarnations I haven't seen mentioned anywhere.
No re-debut of graduated ID vtubers, some strange graduations in the European EN community... along with Peari finally getting her spot in Phase Connect. Reformatted to include content account histories.
Graduated Ex-Corpo / Big Game List
This list is for fully inactive or planned graduation.
Last Vtuber Account: Lily Endou
Account History: Unresearched.
Talents: Spanish-focused Japanese girl, trilingual. Mostly gaming and chatting.
Background: One of the better known ES/JP vtubers. Part of a group called Sendai One. Graduated Sept 2, 2023.
Where She Goes: Excellent candidate for any ES or JP gen.
Last Vtuber Account: KJ Blosch
Account History: Unresearched.
Talents: Mostly-Indonesian vtuber known for karaoke, memes, collabs, pretty good at OBS tricks. Also does speak English and a little JP.
Background: Indie with 100k subs, graduated for no known reason Nov 30, 2023.
Where She Goes: Decent candidate for Holo ID4 but who knows.
Last Vtuber Account: Pomu Rainpuff
Account History: Mint Fantome / Maid Mint -> Pomu Rainpuff (NijiEN) -> dearsqn (non-vtuber twitter)
Talents: Singing, goofing off, zatsu. A great all-rounder.
Background: A pre-Myth vtuber, a huge Nijisanji fan who got into NijiEN's first wave. Graduated January 20th, 2024. Did not return to her indie account.
Where She Goes: Could be Hololive, but probably Vshojo to be with her friend Matara.
Last Vtuber Account: Mika Melatika
Account History: Erina Mochi -> Mika Melatika (NijiID) -> Kamii / KamiiGOO (no debut yet)
Talents: Meme, chatting, singing, fps.
Background: The 2022 breakout star of NijiID due to her association with NijiEN and especially with Mysta Rias. Graduated Dec 28, 2023. Dropped a handful of reincarnation hints. Not active on her past life Erina Mochi.
Where She Goes: The smart money is on Vshojo.
Last Vtuber Account: Yuniiho
Account History: Unresearched.
Talents: Art. Seriously a lot of art. Singing.
Background: A well known Twitch indie and vtuber art mama, including Idol HE's Lily Sin, Zentraya, Merryweather. Graduating Mar 10, 2024. It's pretty rare for vtuber art mamas to graduate, which has a lot of people speculating. Italian.
Where She Goes: Only big corpo would be an upgrade, as she pulls ~500 viewers regularly. So, Nijisanji, Hololive, outside chance of Vshojo?
Last Vtuber Account Yozora Mel
Account History: Rica -> Yozora Mel (Hololive) -> Rica (inactive)
Talents: Singing. ASMR. Variety streamer. Pretty much every utaite you can trace a connection back to her, even people like Namirin.
Background: First generation Hololive talent, terminated Jan 16, 2024. Maintained her PL while in Hololive and is currently on a break.
Indies I have my eye on:
This list is for currently active prominent indie creators.
Last Vtuber Account: BriAtCookiebox
Account History: BriAtCookiebox -> Cheri Lupina (VReverie) -> BriAtCookiebox
Talents: Souls gamer, RPGs, good at talking, memer.
Background: The star of VReverie. Graduating Jan 28th, 2024 and going back to indie. Her relative success in VReverie makes for a pretty good resume.
Where she goes: None of the ex-VReverie seem to have anything lined up yet.
Last Vtuber Account: Shumi Shumikea
Account History: Ika Gayou -> Shumi Shumikea (Bentala B) -> Shumi Shumikea
Talents: Meme, drawing, collabs. ID/EN/JP languages. A lot of her subs came from anime digital art tutorials.
Background: Quite possibly the biggest ID indie, she's got 500k subs on one account and 100k+ on her last corpo attempt with ID micro-corpo Bentala B. She was big enough that they used her PL publicly as a recruitment tool similar to how Idol promoted Riro with ky0resu. She still streams on the Shumi account as an indie.
Where She Goes: Great candidate for any ID corpo.
Last Vtuber Account: Dokibird
Account History: Dokibird -> Selen Tatsuki (NijiEN) -> Dokibird
Talents: FPS gaming, memes and laughing.
Background: Was terminated from NijiEN in controversial fashion on Feb 5, 2024, and immediately reincarnated back to her previous account.
Where She Goes: May join an esports org. XSET's manager is her manager.
Last Vtuber Account: mimsie / z_etsubou
Account History: Woozie Wannai (MyHolo TV) -> tommie / teenytommie -> mimsie / z_etsubou
Talents: Retro gamer with a creative streak and a tomboy-ish personality. Somewhat edgy and very obviously on /vt/.
Background: Ex-MyHoloTV, graduated on July 30, 2023 "ending my activities as Woozie". Started her indie account with the tomato model on July 31, 2023. Deleted all evidence of tommie on Dec 3, 2023, debuted as mimsie on Dec 5, 2023. Indefinite hiatus as mimsie on Dec 15, 2023.
Where She Goes: Could still go corpo while having an indie account, but identity swapping points to menhera instead.
Last Vtuber Account: Miori Celesta
Account History: Miori Celesta (MyHolo-TV) -> Miori Celesta -> Miori Celesta (Tsunderia) -> Miori Celesta
Talents: Singing including music project management, streaming, GFE. Kept her career going strong despite some kind of post-secondary hell.
Background: Ex-MyHolo-TV. A very consistent and large indie with holo and phase connections. She's preferred to remain indie in the past and her commitment between vtuber and education was up in the air until a few months ago. Spoke about taking opportunities.
Where She Goes: Unknown, doesn't seem to have a desire to go corpo.
Last Vtuber Account: Wolfychu
Account History: Unresearched.
Talents: Long time animation-maker and anime-adjacent YouTuber, still on the YT grind. Cover songs, self-animated talking videos. Self-taught Japanese.
Background: One of the OG anitubers. Stopped streaming on Twitch at end of March and generally her streaming has fallen off since 2021. Her partner was Jordan Sweeto aka Ren Zotto of NijiEn, but they are likely not together anymore.
Where She Goes: Anything other than Holo or maybe Vshojo (as herself) would be a downgrade.
Last Vtuber Account: Nabi
Account History: Nabi
Talents: Prominent Korean artist who has even been a Holo-mama. Trilingual with English being her weakest.
Background: Always quitting, deleting everything, then returning, the latest episode on Sept 14, 2023, likely to do with school and seems more permanent. However her close association with Hololive always places her square into any KR-related rumors.
Where She Goes: Almost certainly not going anywhere, outside chance of HoloKR if it ever becomes real
Last Vtuber Account: Randon
Account History: Randon -> Vesper Noir (HoloStars EN) -> Randon
Talents: Zatsu, older games, roguelikes, old man talking.
Background: Long hiatus June 10, 2023 followed by graduation from HoloStars En Aug 31, 2023. Active as an indie.
Where He Goes: Seems happy enough as an indie.
Last Vtuber Account: Dezmond Magni
Account History: Professor Lando -> Dezmond Magni (HoloStars EN) -> Professor Lando
Talents: Meme, drawing, weeb culture.
Background: Long hiatus June 10, 2023 followed by graduation from HoloStars EN Aug 31, 2023. Active as an indie fleshstreamer.
Where He Goes: Seems he's fleshstreaming for now and getting a vtuber avatar.
And also prominent but not going anywhere: Sayu Synchronicity (Zaion Lanza, NijiEN), Utada Zoey (Oceane Otoshi, Production Kawaii), Nanobites (Fuura Yuri, Phase Connect / Amaris Yuri, Cyberlive), ky0resu (Riro Ron, Idol)

I don't know if I should put small vtubers that are never mentioned here apart from their graduation, but Airi Gwynevere of Kavvai seems to be Hirano Kokoro (Sound similar to me, popped up just as she announced graduation with tweets that feels related, she mentions wanting to continue doing game shows, which Airi also did)
Also Virgil from Kometa is believed to be Monomogi. She has no vtuber activities as Mogi, but she used her avatar for Astraline debut watchalong and made a few appearances in streams and artwork of PVB official , a pinoy vtuber group.

ex-Tsunderia talent Orla Gan Ceann possibly reincarnating as Rowa Arctos Ch. V&U. She recently 'retired' and retweeted 2 posts from the main V&U account:
Reiny has graduated with a message that implies reincarnation.
OTSU! We did it!
Thank you for everything! Even though it's the end of one adventure a new one is just beginning!
I truly hope we meet again someday. Be brave & I will try my hardest too!

Someone smarter than me who is better at differentiating british people could correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Shizukou possibly reincarnated as Kiri Kilovolt in Globie.

Bonnie is brit afaik yes. In fact I think she's really Reiny. sounds similar. Games, anime and some likes are similar. her pronounciation of few anime names also felt similar to me

It was weird how she put emphasis in the word "BRAVE" in her grad announcement
Look foward to other vtubers that join Brave Group do the same or something similar
