Sasaki Saku History

Sasaki Saku originally debuted on Youtube on July 7, 2018. She was a part of Nijisanji’s Gamers team. On November 15, she released a farewell montage and then shut down her Youtube channel.

There are a number of theories about Saku’s retirement, one of which was actually broadcast on television. Famous sumo wrestler Kisenosato Yutaka took a break at the same time that Saku debuted.
