Harapeko Twins say they have resumed work after health-related break
Twin food YouTubers Kako and Ako Ono say they have resumed work after taking a break for health reasons.
The sisters, known as Harapeko Twins, said they both have depression.
Ako also had stress-related gastritis and a herniated disc, which together left her unable to walk, eat or move without help for a time.
The sisters announced their break in October 2025, and said Ako was admitted to hospital; they reported her discharge the following month.
Videos kept appearing during the break because they had recorded and stored a large backlog, they explained.
They say they rested during the break and are now active again, and plan to make videos when they feel well enough.
They have opened a form for companies to offer food-related work, as they seek new opportunities after leaving their agency in March.
