A VTuber (ブイチューバー, buichūbā), or virtual YouTuber (Japanese: バーチャルユーチューバー, Hepburn: bācharu yūchūbā), is an online entertainer who uses a virtual avatar generated using computer graphics and real-time motion capture software or technology. A digital trend that originated in Japan in the mid-2010s and since the early-2020s has become an international online phenomenon,[1] a majority of VTubers are English and Japanese-speaking YouTubers or live streamers who use anime-inspired avatar designs. By 2020, there were more than 10,000 active VTubers.[2] Although the term alludes to the video platform YouTube, virtual YouTubers also appear on platforms including Niconico, Twitch and Bilibili. The first entertainer to use the phrase "virtual YouTuber", Kizuna AI, began creating content on YouTube in late 2016. Her popularity sparked a VTuber trend in Japan, and spurred the establishment of specialized agencies to promote them, including Hololive Production and Nijisanji [ja]. Fan translations and foreign-language VTubers have marked a rise in the trend's international popularity.[3] Virtual YouTubers have appeared in domestic advertising campaigns in Japan, and have broken livestream-related world records.

Virtual YouTubers (although more commonly refers as VTubers) are online entertainers who are typically YouTubers or live streamers. They use avatars created with programs such as Live2D, portraying characters designed by online artists.[4] VTubers are not bound by physical limitations, and many of them engage in activities that are unconstrained by their real-world identity.[5][6]

VTubers often portray themselves as a kayfabe character, not unlike professional wrestling; Mace, a WWE wrestler who himself began streaming on Twitch as a VTuber in 2021, remarked that the two professions were "literally the same thing".[7]

VTubers are associated with Japanese popular culture and aesthetics, such as anime and manga,[5] and moe anthropomorphism with human or non-human traits.[5] Some VTubers use anthropomorphic avatars, non-human characters such as animals.[8]
