What is Hololive?

Over the course of the past year, Virtual YouTubers, or VTubers for short, have taken the internet by storm. In fact, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably familiar with a number of such VTubers yourself. Some prominent examples of popular VTubers include ‘Kizuna AI’,  who is often regarded as the first widely known VTuber, ‘Gawr Gura’, or ‘Projekt Melody’.

For the unaware, VTubers are just like your everyday YouTubers and streamers who play video games or entertain their audience. However, instead of using a facecam, they use a ‘virtual avatar’ while streaming, which many people find more interesting and entertaining.

Hololive 

Hololive Production, or simply Hololive, is a VTuber talent agency owned by Japanese company Cover Corp. Originally created in December 2019, the company currently manages a total of 52 active VTubers.

Some of the well-known members from the Hololive team include Gawr Gura, Inugami Korone, Shirakami Fubuki, Usada Pekora, and Mori Calliope. A lot of the talents also have their separate YouTube channels.

This rapid growth of VTubers over the past year has led many popular streamers and YouTubers like Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg to create virtual avatars of their own.

As of September 2020, Hololive-affiliated VTubers had more than 10 million combined subscribers on both YouTube and Chinese video platform Bilibili.

Also, a recent YouTube report shows that VTuber views have grown to over 1.5 Billion views per month by October 2020, which goes on to prove how much has the industry evolved last year. Needless to say, the rate of growth continues to escalate further this year.
