The world of Korean VTubing lost one of its notable voices when Airi Kanna wrapped up her streaming career in December 2024. Known to her Twitch audience as airikanna_stellive, this dragon-themed virtual creator built a dedicated community over her years of content creation, proving that authentic personality can shine through even a digital avatar.

Kanna's journey on Twitch began in early 2023, though her VTuber roots stretched back to 2020 when she first debuted under the StelLive agency umbrella. Standing at 155 cm with a December birthday that made her a Sagittarius, she embodied the mystical dragon aesthetic that her fans came to love. Her community, affectionately called "Bineuli" (meaning "scales" in Korean), grew to an impressive 207,000 followers who were drawn to her variety streaming approach.

What set Kanna apart wasn't just her polished Live2D model or her dragon and diamond oshi marks – it was her genuine connection with viewers. Her Twitch bio simply read "반갑꼬링," a playful Korean greeting that captured her welcoming spirit. Over 1,600 hours of streaming time, she explored 96 different games, showing a willingness to experiment rather than stick to trending titles. This variety-focused approach helped her achieve remarkable milestones, including a peak viewership of over 32,000 concurrent viewers during a memorable stream in May 2023.

The numbers tell a compelling story of her impact across platforms. While maintaining her Twitch presence, Kanna also cultivated a substantial YouTube following of 224,000 subscribers, demonstrating the multi-platform approach that many successful VTubers adopt. Her Twitch Partner status reflected the professional level she'd reached, and her consistent streaming schedule built the kind of reliable community that many creators aspire to achieve.

When Kanna announced her retirement in late 2024, it marked the end of an era for her dedicated fanbase. Her final stream took place in February 2024, leaving behind a legacy of authentic interaction and variety content that had defined her corner of the Korean VTubing scene. For those who followed her journey from her early StelLive days through her final Twitch broadcasts, Kanna represented the kind of creator who proved that success in the virtual space still comes down to real human connection. Her "Bineuli" community may have lost their dragon, but the impact of her authentic approach to streaming continues to influence the Korean VTuber landscape.
