GTuber

An ATuber or avatar YouTuber (known on YouCast as an avatar YouCasters or ACasters) is a type of YouTube content creator who uses motion capture to appear as their character in videos and live streams.

Common genres are music, animation, design/art,, gaming, and comedy videos.

The trend of avatar YouTubers started in early 2011, when Sandian YouTubers and YouCasters began publishing content featuring their 2D avatars animated using Vid3D. Since then, hundreds of known avatars have been created. Since the mid-2010s, fan translations and foreign-language ATubers have marked a rise in the trend's international popularity. The trend also spawned, an anime equivalent, which became popular in the mid-2010s.
