Ironmouse claims breaking Twitch sub record & beating Kai Cenat will help all VTubers

As a long-time gamer and follower of the streaming scene, I’ve witnessed the meteoric rise of virtual YouTubers (VTubers) like Ironmouse. While I’ve had my share of late-night gaming sessions with traditional streamers showing their faces, there’s something uniquely captivating about VTubers that keeps me hooked.


The popular Vtuber, Ironmouse, has shared her perspective on how surpassing Kai Cenat’s Twitch subscription count would benefit the entire VTubing community.

Over the past several years, there’s been a significant increase in the popularity of VTubers. Some devoted streamers have chosen to hide their identity behind on-screen characters while they converse. Others, however, have blended reality and animation by incorporating an animated figure alongside their actual appearance.

Ironmouse typically avoids revealing her physical identity online, even though she has interacted with several other streamers in person.

By the close of September, the VTubing sensation successfully surpassed Kai Cenat’s previous record for the highest number of subscribers on Twitch at any given moment. In recognition of her achievement, the AMP member doffed his cap to the VTuber, vowing to regain that position.

Although Ironmouse encourages Kai’s desire to reclaim the record, she also feels that her ownership contributes positively to the VTuber community.

She shared with Rolling Stone that there are individuals from the Vtuber community who view this as a significant advancement, to be recognized. I concur, as we generally maintain our own unique environment, and it’s heartening to see people becoming aware of what Vtubers represent and stand for.

“I understand that an anime character on the screen might initially seem puzzling or unusual, prompting questions like ‘What is this? What’s going on?’ However, by incorporating them, we can help make such content more common and accepted.

As noted, Kai has already spoken about trying to get the record back from Iromouse. However, that is going to take some time. It isn’t going to happen overnight. 

For now, VTubers can unite under the knowledge that one of their kind is currently leading on Twitch. This is quite an impressive feat.
