History
According to the official website, "VTubing has become a trendsetter facet of content creation, and we have seen the boom of the industry from various online platforms to the point it has now penetrated into mainstream attention. But one facet of the industry remains unaddressed: there are territories that are swarmed with potential talents, and yet remain unchartered and unrecognized.
This is where we come in: a vision of spreading the large potential of the VTubing industry to territories that are otherwise have no or limited known number of talents. We envision a future of the VTubing industry where developing countries and places will have a place and recognition within the community, and represent them with pride and inclusivity."[1]
