In-jokes/memes[]

• Due to Hakka being the first Latino member of hololive, some have joked about the start of HoloES. Compounded further by a scene in his debut stream where the CEO of hololive slapped him for speaking Spanish instead of English. Hakka was later heard crying and begging "I'll do what you tell me okay just please don't hurt my family."^[19]
  • Yagoo slapping Hakka for speaking Spanish is possibly a reference to La Chancla, a form of disclipining in Latino families that involves using physical impact with a shoe. His chat began spamming "la chancla" and "chancla'd" after hearing it.^{[citation needed]}
• Hakka being a bird due to his hair.^{[citation needed]}
• He has often been playfully bullied by his fans for always reusing the same PNG for his thumbnails. Once, when his wifi cut out, a Hakkito (@katnaruu on X), started sharing around the PNG he always used, causing all his fans to turn it into a meme. The PNG was all over fans' timelines that day.^{[citation needed]}
