Kou Mariya, a VTuber with over 84,000 followers, is a virtual performer who creates a dual identity as a friendly, flirtatious vampire singer. Using motion capture technology, she animates an avatar that reflects her facial expressions and movements. Her performances take place in fully drawn surroundings, which change daily, allowing for diverse fantasy settings. Mariya is set to host a concert in Hollywood with fellow VTubers, but will perform from an undisclosed location to maintain her privacy.
Mariya spends a significant portion of her days as this cartoon character, at once wholly real while being completely artificial. She is a professional performer, although her stage is virtual. Instead of a glimpse into a room or a home, her surroundings are fully drawn - she could be in a beach setting one day and an ornate office the next.
Mariya, to her more than 84,000 followers on YouTube, is a friendly, flirtatious vampire singer, as excited to chat about her digitized outfits and accessories as she is to sing a late '90s pop song. She performs as an animated avatar using motion capture technology, which matches her facial expressions and body movements to the drawn figure.
