Good morning. Let’s address the elephant in the room that no one wants to address.
The absence of Black, and Black presenting VTubers in major corporations like VShojo, Nijisanji, hololive, AND POPULAR INDY GROUPS, CLIQUES…isn’t just an oversight it has structural consequences.
When the most popular corporations and vtuber groups, with largest platforms, with the biggest marketing budgets, sponsorship pipelines, and built-in audiences consistently lack Black representation, Black VTubers are effectively locked out of the primary avenues of visibility and growth in the industry.
These corporations function as gatekeepers, as well as their talents. They control discoverability, brand legitimacy, and access to mainstream exposure. Without Black talent in those spaces, the market becomes saturated with the same narrow image of who a “successful” VTuber can be.
That concentration of power limits upward mobility for Black creators and reinforces a monopoly over attention, resources, and opportunity.
Representation at the corporate and mainstream levels isn’t just symbolic it determines who gets amplified, funded, and normalized. When Black VTubers are excluded from those ecosystems, the playing field is not equal; it’s structurally imbalanced.
Now with that said i want you to name at least 3 Black presenting Vtubers that are commonly know to have been a part of a major Vtuber group, or Vtuber corporation. Your answer to this question is why we have to create our own spaces to be seen.
