Vtubers are virtual YouTubers who use animated avatars to create content, primarily on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. These avatars are often designed to resemble anime characters and are controlled in real-time by the content creator using motion capture technology. Vtubers engage with their audience through live streaming, gaming, singing, and chatting. The Vtuber phenomenon began in Japan around 2016 and has since gained global popularity. Many Vtubers develop unique personalities and storylines, attracting dedicated fanbases. Some notable Vtubers include Kizuna Ai and Gawr Gura, who have significantly influenced the online entertainment landscape.
