Virtual anchor refers to the anchor who uses the virtual image to contribute on the video website, among which the virtual YouTuber is the best 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.

Introduction:

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.

Virtual anchor in a broad sense refers to the up owner who contributes to the video website with a virtual image, and there is no restriction on whether to set up a virtual person. According to this standard, Amy

Yamato can be regarded as the first virtual YouTuber in the world. But it just changed its image into an animated image, with a real identity behind it, which can be considered as a generalized virtual YouTuber.
