GTuber

An avatar YouTuber or ATuber is a type of YouTube content creator who uses motion capture to appear as their character in videos and live streams. Unlike s, most of these content creators are independent, though some are part of s. Their videos often vary more in genre. Common genres are music, animation, design/art,, gaming, and comedy videos.

The trend of avatar YouTubers started in Sandia with Suki Yone's avatar Sweet Moon in February 2011. Since then, hundreds of known avatars have been created.
