VTubers, short for “Virtual YouTubers,” are online content creators who use digital avatars, often animated and designed in a distinctive art style, to interact with their audience. These avatars are typically created using motion capture technology, allowing them to mimic the creator’s facial expressions and movements in real-time. VTubers primarily produce video content on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, engaging in activities such as gaming, singing, chatting, and various forms of entertainment while maintaining the persona of their virtual character. The VTuber phenomenon has gained significant popularity, particularly in Japan and among international audiences, fostering a unique blend of animation, gaming, and live-streaming cultures. The community often embraces themes of anime and gaming, contributing to the overall aesthetic and appeal of VTubers.
