'''Kanipan.''' ('''かにぱん。''') is a female {{NNDict|Utaite}} who started in June 2007 (for reference, the utattemita category on Nico Nico Douga was added on the [https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E6%AD%8C%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%81%BF%E3%81%9F 5th of May, 2007]) when she was 26 years old with a short cover of ''Air Man ga Taosenai'' {{nnd|sm433841}}, making her part of the older generation of utaite, which is impressive considering she is still active to this day. 

She often displays her username as '''(V)・∀・(V)''' in her video titles.<ref name="Nico Nico Pedia">[http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/(v)・∀・(v) Kanipan.'s Nico Nico Pedia article]</ref> Her username means "bread of the form of the crab"<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/user/kanipan666 Kanipan.'s YouTube channel]</ref> and is a [http://www.excite.co.jp/News/bit/00091147949990.html type of bread] commonly found in convenience stores in Japan. In the past, she has covered songs very rapidly, sometimes uploading multiple videos in a day, and has so far sung about 350 solo covers and 80 collabs. This is partly due to the fact that she likes to cover some songs more than once. However, recently, she has slowed down and uploaded less frequently.

She has a voice that can sing high and girly like in her ''Do Re Mi Fa Rondo'' {{yt|LH4avRrusoM}} {{nnd|sm18810096}} cover, or lower and boyish, both naturally without strain. When she covers songs with a male and female singer, she calls the feminine side of her voice KANI, and her masculine side Pan., as seen in the description of her ''Aa, Subarashiki Nyansei'' {{nnd|sm18615721}} cover.

Kanipan. is noted to have a broad voice range, which covers notes from C#3 to A7 (screamed).<ref name="Nico Nico Pedia" /> Another example of her showing her high notes off is her cover of the ''Kouon Chuuon'iki Test'' {{yt|7lQWem4yhMM}} {{nnd|sm21989772}}. The notes in the song go from hiA to hihihiE (A4-E7), and she takes it up a notch with a hihihihiB (B8). As shown in her duet with [[ISAZI]] in "Meiou" {{yt|bp7533DmqLg}} {{nnd|sm10521213}}, she is also capable of providing an effective choral background.

She occasionally sings covers in other languages, such as Thai, English, or Finnish. They can be found on Nico Nico Douga under the tag "Kanipan. Foreign Language Series" (かにぱん。異国の言葉シリーズ). She is able to speak English at a near-native level.<ref name="Nico Nico Pedia" /> An example of her singing in English is her cover of ''Double Lariat'' {{nnd|sm7414265}}, with translyrics by [https://piapro.jp/masatopia Masatopia].

The range of her covers is fairly broad. She has even sung raps and random MADs, most commonly of the anime Yu-Gi-Oh!, such as ''Kaiba wa Taihen na Command Nyuuryoku wo Shiteimashita'' {{nnd|sm4543757}}.

Kanipan. often posts "Kakokyoku Jigoku" (過去曲地獄, lit. past songs hell), which are basically bulk uploads of past songs.

Aside from singing she also sometimes does voice acting like things, often as a part of Nico Nico Kaizokudan, where she does the voice of Luffy. Kanipan. also occasionally [http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/20943171 dances], [http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/20943308 draws] and [http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/20943161 does gameplays]. She also collaborates with a French group of YouTubers, the VoxMakers, with a web series named "Japokani Gakushuchou" where she introduces elements of Japanese culture in her mother language, with subtitles in French and English.
