Notably, changes in corporate leadership within HoYoverse have been a topic of discussion in recent months. In September of this year, Shanghai HoYoverse Network Technology Co., Ltd. saw a shift in its corporate governance when co-founder Cai Haoyu stepped down as the legal representative and chairman, with Liu Wei assuming these responsibilities. According to shareholder information, the company is currently jointly held by three co-founders and Hangzhou MiYi Investment Co., Ltd. Among the co-founders, Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, and Luo Yuhao hold approximately 41%, 22.6%, and 21.4% of the shares, respectively.
