Hime’s debut stream will premiere on October 12 at 9 pm and she will stream every Tuesday and Thursday, chatting to fans worldwide about hot anime topics from Japan, exploring what’s new in gaming, and more! 

Hime will also hold monthly AniMarathons, where she will host a specially-curated block of anime episodes on her channel. 

The launch of Hime’s channel will allow fans to get to know Crunchyroll’s beloved anime ambassador. Hime currently interacts with fans through ‘The Daily Life of Crunchyroll-Hime’ weekly comic strip, which is localised into all Crunchyroll regions. Hime has also hosted the yearly Anime Awards, turned the iconic horror manga-artist Junji Ito into a VTuber for Virtual Crunchyroll Expo this year, hung out with her good friend Kizuna AI, and is coming to Crunchyroll’s TikTok! 

TikTok star Kristine Fel is helping power Crunchyroll-Hime. K.Fel previously collaborated with Crunchyroll to bring Hime to life for the 2021 Anime Awards, and she specializes in creating short-form anime-related and Japanese-language content.
