Vtuber is a virtual anchor, which refers to the anchor who uses the avatar to contribute on the video website. The virtual YouTuber is the most well known.

In China, a virtual anchor is generally called a Virtual Uploader (VUP). Outside China, virtual anchor is called virtual YouTube (VUber) because it is generally active on YouTube.

Virtual anchors in a narrow sense carry out activities on video websites and social platforms with original virtual character settings and images. Most of the images appear as 3D models of MMD or Unity or 2D models made by Live2D, and are dubbed by real-life seiyuu, but seiyuu is generally not made public. There are many kinds of videos, and there are many vlog and live games.
