VTuber makes history with over 350K viewers in record-breaking YouTube debut

As a seasoned gamer who’s seen my fair share of digital personalities, I must admit, I was taken aback by the sheer spectacle that was Yuki Sakuna’s debut stream. With her adorable avatar and captivating charm, she managed to break records that even veterans like Minato Aqua and Kiryu Coco couldn’t match.


A VTuber’s first stream broke several records after her ‘cuteness’ captivated thousands of viewers.

On a historic note, Japanese VTuber Yuki Sakuna broke records during her inaugural live stream as she attracted 383,139 viewers. Although the virtual character’s YouTube channel was launched in April 2022, it wasn’t until October 27th, 2024 that her first broadcast took place.

Sakuna’s live stream, as an independent VTuber, set a new record by being the top-rated and most-viewed debut stream. Additionally, it ranked third among all VTuber streams in terms of total views.

At the moment, Minato Aqua and Kiryu Coco are the two VTubers with the most viewers in a single stream, with Minato Aqua boasting an impressive 749,854 viewers and Kiryu Coco following closely behind with 491,342 viewers.

In the days leading up to her initial live stream, Sakuna’s YouTube following skyrocketed from approximately 61,000 to more than 450,000. Currently, her channel boasts over 827,000 subscribers.

Supporters of Sakuna found her character “nostalgically charming,” commenting on how adorable and entertaining she was. Many viewers were captivated by her unique laughter. One fan even stated, “Her voice acting is so good that I can’t help but recommend this show.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that folks out there can’t wait for the next stream from this VTuber legend in the making. They’re really hyped!

Her birthday falls on December 2nd, which means she’s a Sagittarius. Contrary to popular belief, Sakuna isn’t 10,000 years old; instead, her demeanor is marked by innocence and playfulness.

She takes pleasure in stirring up trouble, yet suffers humiliation due to her run of bad fortune. Despite being lively on her live broadcasts, Sakuna tends to be quite private away from the camera.

Visually, Sakuna is adorned with a soft pastel pink outfit, mirroring the shade she particularly admires. Her eyes echo this favorite hue as well. She accessorizes with pink and blue cat-themed bows in her hair, symbolizing her dream of being a feline maid.

As Sakuna captivates her audience currently, she’ll confront other renowned Japanese VTubers such as Houshou Marine and Kiana AL in the future, as she persists with streaming.

In a span of only a few weeks, Sakuna set an unprecedented record with her first appearance on stage, following closely in the footsteps of another virtual YouTuber, Ironmouse, who recently made history by overtaking Kai Cenat to claim the title of Twitch’s most-subscribed streamer during her subscription marathon.

Given the growing popularity of Virtual YouTubers (VTubers) within the streaming community, it’s hard to predict where their journey will lead as they steadily climb the ladder in the realm of content production.
