     While vtubing as a phenomenon has grown sharply in popularity here in the United States within the last couple of months due to Hololive debuting several new vtubers who speak English on stream, it has existed in one way or another for at least a decade, with various vloggers on YouTube or streamers using face animation technology to hide their actual faces. […] While anyone can become a vtuber on their own with enough time or money, companies like Cover or Ichikara take up an outsized portion of the interested audience on streaming sites.
