well, Hololive (Japanese vtuber company) have an English branch. Outside that there is also plenty of English vtuber already. Nyanners, Melody, Iromouse to name the few and they are pretty successful.

Vtuber is here to stay, it provide alternative to those who don't want to show they real face

I've even seen some brazilians Vtubers around like Ume Maia (she speaks english on her streams too) and Batata com Pepino (she swears A LOT)




And I'm pretty sure there's a lot more that I don't even know of right now.

There are plenty of Western vtubers, but they're generally independent streamers.
If you were ineterested, you can check the vtuber reddit, which has a flair or the vtuber wiki to find English speaking vtubers.
There are, of course, others who don't show up in either place like Hanayome Kamakiri.

The vast majority of them will be generically anime inspired, but there's always going to be variations in style, even within Japan.

I'm glad I didn't go to sleep and was able to witness Pekora killing Lamy to protect Speedwagon while Lamy was trying to protect her from him lol
That happened right after she extorted some gold from Lamy and was trying to find a way to improve her image as a senpai too.
This is just comedic gold.

Hololive is fairly tame compared to some of the Nijisanji streamers tbh. I remember there are four or five of them that talk about really candid sexual stuff. Utako Suzuko might be one of the more well known ones, she made a whole English playlist of her various videos and roleplaying.

Kagura Mea is pretty out there. She mimed performing a hand job in her debut video, and it's been a wild ride ever since.

Nijisanji has some absolute out there ones. I think Kagura Mea claims to never bathe iirc. Anyway, Himari Mochizuki is pretty funny on the dirty/lewd side. Like building a top tier eroge machine:

Yes, very, very much so. At the moment there is a huge wave of Twitch streamers rebranding as Vtubers/Vstreamers (especially art streamers), so much so that artists and the few people who rig Live2D models are not only swamped with work for months to come but prices just keep spiralling upward with the demand (good luck getting a quality model that is rigged and ready to go for less than $1500-2000 now). There aren't any groups though, so it's all just indie streamers.

It'll be interesting to see if it's a bubble that will burst and everyone reverts back to being a normal streamer, or if Vtuber avatars are here to stay and become the next thing that new streamers are expected to invest in to grow their audience.

Those of you interested to know, Looks like Rushia is quickly gaining on Coco for Worldwide Superchats. This 3-week suspension was ultimately going to be a major blow. Give it a week and I can definitely see her overtaking the #1 spot.

What does Pikamee have left to finish in Mario 64? Rainbow Ride and Bowser in the Sky?

Korone, Fubuki and Gura are in a race to a million subs. Might be able to reach it by the end of October/early November. (not a competition but it's still fun to watch)

Ironmouse is the most entertaining to me out of the filthy pervert English-speaking vtubers I know.




As far as Nijisanji goes there's the (in?)famous SKB club, though I'm pretty sure this doesn't even scratch the surface.

Sometimes I remember that by the time Sakura Miko (hopefully soon) returns, Hololive went through introducing 2 generations and had like a half dozen controversies since her break.
