"Was never supposed to release anywhere else" - VTuber Dokibird issues statement after confidential information was allegedly leaked

However, on February 13, she was compelled to conclude her stream sooner than planned due to the alleged leakage of legal information by her former company, Nijisanji.

She promptly addressed the issue, expressing her regret over the situation and even voicing concerns about the potential leak of her medical records, given reports suggesting she had attempted suicide. She wrote this:
