VTuber
A streamer who appears as an animated avatar, often anime-style, that moves with their face and voice instead of showing their real face.
My favourite VTuber is doing a karaoke stream tonight.
For parents and educators
Most VTuber content is gaming, singing and chatting. A real adult is always behind the avatar, and some VTuber content is made for adults, so the cute look does not mean a channel is for kids.
Where it came from
Started in Japan around 2016 and spread worldwide on YouTube and Twitch.
