VTubers have grown in popularity on Twitch, and viewers can find them in almost every streaming category. The trend originated in Japan with Kizuna AI and spread globally over time. Major VTuber agencies like Hololive and Nijisanji helped introduce waves of virtual streamers to the global audience by offering better production quality, sponsorship deals, and legal protection.
Digital personas and animated avatars help content creators express themselves anonymously. Over the years, VTubing has crossed several milestones, with Ironmouse breaking Kai Cenat’s Twitch subscriber records in October 2024 being a breakout moment. Traditional streamers like Imane “Pokimane” and Ludwig have also tried out digital avatars amidst the growing trend.
This article names five streamers ranked by their total watch hours in March 2025.
