All Vtubers are welcome, whether they are independent, or with a corporation! 

What IS a Vtuber?

Virtual Youtubers (Vtubers) can be many things, but broadly speaking they are entertainers that use virtual avatars to represent themselves in their video content. They do all kinds of things, like playing video games, creating music and art, dancing, talking, singing, and much more!

Where can I find Vtubers?

They usually host their content on popular video sites, and some sites dedicated specifically to them. The most active places to find them would be Youtube, Twitch and Holodex.

If you want to learn more about Vtubers, check out the Virtual YouTuber Wiki!

Here are some questions you can answer if you so choose to start the discussion:

-Who is your Oshi? (favourite Vtuber)
-Where did you hear of Vtubers?
-Do you have any favourite clips you'd like to share?


The first Vtuber I really liked was Inugami Korone of Hololive Corp. I caught a clip of her playing DOOM 2016 which eventually went on to become a viral meme of sorts. (Chainsaw, WOWOWOW!) I had seen Live2D animated characters before, but I had never seen them used during a livestream before so I was drawn in by my curiosity pretty quickly. At the time, there weren't an abundance of English Vtubers (at least not many that I found) but eventually the MYTH girls debuted and from that moment on I was hooked. I've been watching Vtubers ever since!

I just finished watching Korone's Fireworks Mania stream, here's a clip of it that I found pretty hilarious:

While Korone still holds a dear place in my heart, nowadays I've been spending a vast majority of my time watching Pomu Rainpuff of Nijisanji EN!
I am a huge fan of Metal Gear Solid, and she recently finished playing through the entire series on stream, it was a blast watching her start out as completely new to the series to eventually falling in love with the games and it's characters. It might sound stupid but I feel like we went through a journey together and it was special for a lot of people (including me!).

Here's one of my favourite clips where her fanbase got the voice actors for Solid Snake and Otacon to make a birthday message for Pomu!

I look forward to hearing everyone talk about Vtubers!

I love watching vtubers and have also tried vtubing myself! (I'm too shy to share one of my own clips though lol. but I will share my model that I made myself!)

my oshi is magni dezmond, and I also really like ceres fauna, elira pandora, and pomu rainpuff~
here's some of my favorite clips :3

I first heard of vtubers a few years ago when my brother showed me a video of kiryu coco and sakura miko in which miko had to describe something in english and coco had to figure out what she was saying. she called the statue of liberty "freedom lady" xD
but I really got into watching vtubers from watching inugami korone, usually clips with english subs but I also found her livestreams very entertaining even if I couldn't understand japanese!
I'm always quoting this clip of her super mario bros stream:

(I'm watching the nijisanji en collab of sons of the forest as a type this hehe)

You are a very cute opossum! You don't see many opossum vtubers, so you fill that niche quite neatly. :)
Miko's english is... legendary, isn't it? It's so sad what happened with Coco, although we did end up getting Kson out of it so it's not all bad.
It seems a lot of people got into vtubers through Korone... she really does have a global appeal that's hard to top it seems.
