What is a vtuber?

A Vtuber, short for "Virtual YouTuber," is a content creator who uses a computer-generated avatar and voice to produce videos and livestreams. They typically interact with their audience through chat, games, or other content. Vtubers have become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly in Japan and on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. The virtual avatar allows them to remain anonymous while still engaging with their audience in a more personal way. Some Vtubers create characters with distinct personalities and backstories, while others simply use the avatar as a way to express themselves creatively. Overall, Vtubers have become a unique and innovative form of online entertainment.
