VTubers Who Have Shown Their Identity
Despite all the benefits of remaining anonymous some creators love to engage with their fans personally rather than through their VTuber’s persona. Here we are going to show some of the most popular VTubers who have shown their face to their fans. It’s important to note that these were all done voluntarily and are not leaks of private information.
Veibae
Veibae is one of the most popular English VTubers renowned for her more adult-friendly sense of humour. Her avatar is a white-haired succubus with pointed ears, horns and a tail. Veibae is frequently drunk on stream, meming and bullying her chat. She even has a VTuber model that holds a beer while she drinks.
Her 18+ marked streams had made her go viral amassing over 1.5million views for clips that have been translated into Japanese. In April of 2021, she would go on to join VShojo, one of the biggest VTuber agencies out there. Veibae has been known to show her face many times on her Instagram before becoming a VTuber and one viral one after. Fans went crazy over her beauty which served as great promotion for her upcoming merchandise.
Yuzu
Sanagi Yuzu is another independent English-based VTuber. She debuted back in June 2021 and quickly became partnered on Twitch. Her rise to fame on social media was fast and like most, was all done without showing her face. Eventually, in July of 2022, she would go on to post a face reveal on Twitter that would understandably go viral. Captioned “Pressed the slay button” Yuzu uploaded two side-by-side selfies of a brown-haired girl in a tank top. One smiling and one straight-faced.
Again the fans went crazy marvelling at her beauty. We’re beginning to see a pattern here that beautiful VTubers often have beautiful owners. Around the same time as her debut Yuzu Tweeted a side-by-side of her avatar and her face captioned “Icon vs. Owner”. However, this didn’t blow up as much considering she had just started out.
Kson
Kson is an English and Japanese bilingual VTuber who formerly debuted as an independent creator but is now signed to VShojo. Kson takes on the form of a futuristic punk-looking girl with tied-up purple hair and glasses. Kson rose to fame making playthroughs of video games on a Japanese site called Niconico Douga. She would later move into streaming Let’s Plays and various other content that made her successful.
Now Kson has over 1 million subscribers on YouTube and over 250,000 followers on Twitch. Unlike many other VTubers with this level of fame, Kson has regularly shown her face on Twitter and even on stream to all of her viewers.
Apricot The Lich
Apricot The Lich, also known as Apricot, also known as Froot is an English VTuber and illustrator originally from England. Froot debuted on the 27th of November 2020 and is one of the first generations of VTubers from VShojo. Froot appears to be human apart from the four purple horns and bat wings sprouting from her back, but also has a face tattoo that glows green when she channels magic. So then again she probably isn’t human.
Froot is a very softly-spoken and calm VTuber who spends most of her time drawing art on stream. She does so in the hopes of one day having her very own virtual fashion brand. Froot’s face reveal came in the form of a Tweet where she posted a selfie showing a black-haired girl wearing all black with black lipstick to match. Froot went on to explain that she planned on deleting it shortly after the review but decided to leave it up due to the overwhelmingly positive fan response.
Code Miko
Code Miko is an independent 3D VTuber who primarily streams on Twitch. The interesting thing about Code Miko’s VTuber presence is she doubles up as a duo act with herself and the avatar. She refers to herself as the “Technician” which is pretty cool as she does everything to bring this amazing 3D VTuber model to life.
Miko creates some really interesting and innovative content, using cool tech tricks to display her phone on screen whilst streaming as her avatar as well as conducting interviews with Twitch stars such as Pokimane. At the moment Miko has only 440,000 subscribers on YouTube but makes up for it by having almost 1 million followers on Twitch.
Bao
Last up on the list we’ve got Bao. She is an English-speaking independent VTuber who takes on the form of a whale deity. Her persona is that of a playful sprite who loves giving genuine compliments to others and chatting with members of her discord. Her face reveal came as part of a milestone when she hit 40,000 followers on Twitch. She gave a partial face reveal by uploading a selfie on Twitter with a triangular object edited on to cover her nose, mouth and lower part of her face.
