Who are virtual YouTubers?
Despite their name, VTubers (also known as ブイチューバー in Japan) don't exclusively stream on YouTube. These content creators are also active on a variety of other platforms, including Twitch, AfreecaTV, Naver's Chzzk, and others. These content creators differ from others only in that they use virtual avatars made with computer graphics, thereby maintaining anonymity: otherwise, their content may not differ from the average streamer.
