eSportscaster Award
The “eSports Caster Award ” is given to the caster who has provided particularly outstanding play-by-play commentary at the year’s eSports tournament or event.
Hameco.
Thank you very much for the prestigious award. In a competition scene where results are everything, everyone loses except the winner. For example, in last year’s EVO Japan 2025, Street Fighter 6 division, there were about 6670 participants, and all 6669 of them lost except for MenaRD, the winner. However, we, the commentators, believe that it is our very important job to express the value of the process of those who lost to you. I will continue to make daily efforts to increase the value of the players and to let the viewers know how fun and interesting the game is. Thank you very much for your time today.

First of all, thank you very much for this opportunity. I believe that the reason why I have received such a great award is because the 2025 League of Legends has attracted the attention of many people through various events and competitions. Therefore, I believe that I have received this award not by my own efforts, but rather with the help of many people. Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. And in return, I would like to continue to work even harder to deliver the passion of the athletes in words and to bring as much enjoyment as possible to the fans who are watching us. Furthermore, I would like to do my best to be a bridge between the community and the competition scene, and I would appreciate your continued support. Thank you very much again for your kind attention today.

First of all, thank you very much for the honorable award. When I talked about the origins of e-sports, I thought back to my childhood when my grandmother took me to small game tournaments on weekends. I was so absorbed in those moments, and I cherish those origins so much that I am still immersed in the culture of e-sports and video games today. I cherish that origin, and I am still totally absorbed in the culture of e-sports and gaming. Thanks to the caster team, management, and production who have been involved in Shadowverse, and to everyone who has continued to believe in the competitive scene, I am standing here today. It will be 2026, the 10th anniversary of the milestone Shadowverse, and I will continue to do my best to bring the heat and passion of the competitive scene to you all through the power of words. Thank you so much for your time today.
Streamer Award
The ” Streamer Award ” is given to the streamer who has been particularly successful and popular in the field of streaming games and e-sports that year.
k4sen
Thank you very much for the streamer award. Thanks to your support, we have been able to receive this award for three consecutive years. Although streaming is basically something I do every day, sometimes I feel like I have to stop. At those times, the support of our viewers and the fact that we receive awards in this way encourages us, and I think that is why we have been able to make it this far. I would like to thank all the viewers who always support me, the makers of the wonderful games, and everyone involved in the distribution of the games. I will do my best in my activities so that I can continue to have a good time with you all and not be embarrassed by this wonderful award. Thank you very much for your time today.
SHAKA
This year, I was awarded the Streamer Award with ZETA DIVISION. Thank you so much for all your support. The year 2025 has been a particularly challenging year for me. Since I have been allowed to do the LEGENDUS event, I have been able to hold it not only online but also offline. I have always wanted to focus on various distributors through my own distribution activities, and this event was started in the hope that many people would learn about gamers through interaction between distributors and people who play games competitively. This event is made possible by the LEGENDUS staff, game makers, and production companies that work with us on a daily basis to plan events. And these events are also made possible by the viewers who watch them, and for that I am always grateful. We will not stop in 2026 and will continue to do our best in these activities through our distribution. Once again, thank you very much for the streamer award.

First of all, thank you very much for nominating me for the award and for the many people who voted for me. I am very honored because I honestly did not expect to win two years in a row. I am not strongly aware that I am contributing to e-sports, but if my involvement in events and competitions can bring even a little interest or enjoyment to the scene, I would be grateful if I could continue to be involved in some way with events and competitions in the future. I would be very grateful if I could be involved in some way in future events and competitions. Thank you again for your support this year. Thank you very much.

The “VTuber Award ” will be given to a VTuber who has been particularly successful and popular in the field of streaming games and e-sports in the year 2025.

REJECT: Bururu Tenki
I am very happy to receive the eSports Award VTuber Award, a wonderful award, for the second year in a row, thankfully. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me. This year I had a lot of valuable experiences, such as having an automatic commentary voice for Street Fighter 6 implemented and being allowed to participate in various tournaments. I would like to make use of this gratifying experience and take on various challenges in 2026. Thank you to all of you who have supported me and REJECT. I will continue to do my best.
