Takamori

Takamori is the femslash ship between Takanashi Kiara and Mori Calliope from the hololive Virtual YouTuber fandom.

Canon
Kiara and Calliope debuted as VTubers in September 2020 in hololive's first English generation, holoMyth, alongside Gawr Gura, Ninomae Ina'nis and Watson Amelia. Since pretty much the day of their debut, the two have been notably more close to each other than the other EN girls have been to them or each other, and have done more one-on-one collaboration streams with each other than any other two from their generation.

During even some of their earliest streams and Tweets Kiara has relentlessly flirted with Calli, calling her her wife and trying to get her to say it back. During their very first Minecraft collab, Kiara put her bed next to Calli's and, when Calli's food bar was low, "offered her body" to Calli as food.

At first, and perhaps due to the contrast between Kiara's jovial and carefree personality and Calli's harsher and more uptight character, Calli acted meanly towards Kiara when she did such things and acted as if it wasn't something she enjoyed, which caused fans to crown her the "tsundereaper" (a play on "reaper", Calli's character's occupation, and "tsundere"). Later, however, Calli began to be more open to the idea of Kiara's advances, and has even been shown to become jealous when Kiara jokingly flirts with other members of hololive.

Off camera, Kiara and Calli are also very close. They're the only two members of holoMyth who live in Japan (both are also two of three members of EN who can speak Japanese, the third being Ina), and have gone on spa "dates" and trips to restaurants together in real life. Calli once wanted to treat Kiara to an expensive hotel to reward her for working so hard and rented a them both a night in a penthouse suite for $3,000, but then realized that she'd read the price wrong and she'd actually booked it for $30,000. She ended up cancelling the room, but fans and Kiara thought the story was sweet when Calli told it on one of their collab streams.

Although most of the pair's affection comes from Kiara, Calli has been shown to truly care about Kiara as well. This was prominently seen after they finished their play-through of A Way Out and Kiara had felt betrayed by the way in which the game ended. Calli began comforting her, which was uncharacteristic for her, and their usual dynamic of Calli being the one who refused to speak to Kiara was flipped. Calli was also there for Kiara when her channel was falsely terminated by YouTube, and a lot of fan art of Calli carrying a baby Kiara was created by their fans due to this event.

Kiara and Calli have both released original songs. In Calli's song Live Again she talks about someone she loves, which prompted Kiara to leave the comment "You honestly can't deny that this is about me Calli. I love you too 💛" in the comments section of the song's YouTube release video. Additionally, the last line of Kiara's song HINOTORI is "And in the next life too I promise, I will find you", which is speculated to be referring to Calli due to their characters being a phoenix and the grim reaper.

Fanon
Takamori is one of if not the most popular ship in the hololive fandom, quickly becoming even bigger than hololive Gamers' OkaKoro (Inugami Korone x Nekomata Okayu) due to its easier access for non-Japanese-speaking fans. The contrasting personality dynamic the pair usually have has also influenced a lot of fans, especially those on Twitter, to create ship art of the two, which Kiara and Calli often like and/or Retweet on their own accounts.

Fans (and Kiara) also like to act as if the two are married, which Calli always sharply denies, creating fics and art of the two as newlyweds and sending them both superchats with captions like "honeymoon fund" or "wedding fund".

Trivia

 * Calli's nickname for Kiara is "kusotori", which translates to "damn bird" in Japanese, and she usually refers to her by it when they're streaming together to keep in her meaner character. During more serious moments though, Calli usually uses Kiara's first name instead.
 * Currently, Calli and Kiara are the only two members of holoMyth who've released original songs.
 * They're also the first two of the generation to release a collab song cover.
