Shu Yamino, a fellow Nijisanji-affiliated VTuber, commented on the situation via a YouTube Community post. Claiming that he had not been informed of Ike's graduation or his intention to leave the agency, Shu Yamino stated that he was "just as clueless as everyone else."
He also announced the deletion of Ike Eveland-related content from his official YouTube channel:
"For full transparency, I was personally not notified of his graduation, or his intentions of leaving the company. I am personally just as clueless as everyone else, so I wish everyone to respect his privacy, and to not speculate. I won't be able to answer any questions about Ike, or his current or future whereabouts. To respect his statement of stepping away from the online space, I will be removing some content involving Ike from my channel. I will also like to ask everyone to refrain from mentioning Ike in our comments, hashtags and streams apart from this post."

I will still be streaming as I was planning to, and I hope you all respect everyone's decisions moving forward."
