What is a Vtuber?
What is a Vtuber in the first place?
Here we will explain the definition of a Vtuber.
What kind of person is a Vtuber?
A Vtuber (Virtial YouTuber) is someone who uses 2D/3D digital avatars to post videos and stream live.
The Vtuber culture was sparked by Kizuna Ai, who debuted in 2016.
At the time, it attracted attention as a new entity, not just ordinary YouTubers, animations, or Vocaloids.
moreover,In 2017, new Vtubers were born one after another, and the Vtuber market rapidly expanded.

The market size of Vtubers is expected to reach approximately 14.4 billion yen in 2020, and is expected to reach approximately 85 billion yen in 2023. (As of 2022)
In this way, Vtubers are attracting attention as unprecedented figures who operate virtually.

What do Vtubers do?
Vtubers' main activities are video submissions and live streaming.
- Video submission
- Live streaming
Many of the video genres include game commentary, chat, how-to, songs, product introductions, and collaboration streaming with other Vtubers.
In addition, live streaming is very popular because you can interact with fans in real time.
The name "virtual YouTuber" may give you a strong image of him working on YouTube.
However, in recent years,The number of Vtubers is increasingly using TikTok, Twich, Niconico, SHOWROOM, and TwitCasting.
Additionally, although the scope of activity varies depending on the Vtuber, some people are engaged in the following activities:
- SNS posts
- Fan community management
- Voice sales
- Goods sales
- Event appearances
Fan Community is a paid membership service for fans. By becoming a member, you can receive services such as limited benefits.
There are also Vtubers who will appear at events.

What is the difference between YouTubers and Vtubers?
The biggest difference between YouTubers and Vtubers is the performers of the video.
YouTubers feature real people and animals (pets).
Meanwhile, Vtubers will feature 2D/3D characters.
The content of the video also differs depending on the performers being 2D/3D.
YouTubers often post travel, makeup and cooking videos.
However, for Vtubers, content that uses such real material is often avoided.
That said, in recent years, animation technologies such as motion capture (※1) and Live 2D (※2) have been developed.
Therefore,It seems that the difference between content between YouTubers and Vtubers is becoming less common.

*2 Live 2D: Techniques for moving 2D illustrations in three dimensions
Why is it popular? The number of fans who are getting bored of Vtubers is increasing rapidly!
Why did VTubers become so popular and popular?
Here we will explain the appeal of the following Vtubers:
- Close to the fans
- The content is interesting

We'll explain each of them!
Close to the fans
The appeal of Vtubers is that they are close to their fans.
Many Vtubers do live streaming. Therefore, Vtubers will answer comments and questions from fans in real time.
Also, if you are a Vtuber who uses social media, you may be able to react to fans' tweets.
In this way, Vtubers can feel a sense of affinity despite their virtual appearance!
Interesting personality and content
One of the attractions of Vtubers is his personality and the fun of his content.
Vtubers have a personality not only in appearance, but also in personality.
As a result, many fans are attracted to the gap between their appearance and personality and the words and actions they say and do within the content.
Easy to support
Vtubers are also attractive because they can be easily supported.
During live streaming of Vtubers, fans can make "super chats (donations)."
You can start with a small amount at any time during the live show.
Therefore,You can easily express your support.
If my favorite person responds to the super chat I throw, I can't help but get bogged down!
