VTuber Yuki Sakuna Sets New Streaming Records with Debut
A new star has emerged in the VTubing world as Yuki Sakuna’s debut stream captivated audiences and shattered multiple records. This Japanese-speaking VTuber attracted a remarkable 383,139 viewers during her first live stream, setting a new benchmark for independent VTubers.
Although Yuki Sakuna’s YouTube channel was established in April 2022, she only launched her first streaming session on October 27, 2024. This initial outing not only made her the top independent VTuber for debut streams but also positioned her third overall in the hierarchy of the most-watched VTuber streams in history.
In comparison, existing records are held by VTubers like Minato Aqua, who attracted 749,854 viewers, and Kiryu Coco, who garnered 491,342 viewers for single streams.

In the lead-up to her highly anticipated debut, Sakuna experienced a significant surge in her follower count, skyrocketing from 61,000 to over 450,000 subscribers. Currently, her channel boasts an impressive 827,000 subscribers.
Fans have expressed remarkable enthusiasm for Sakuna, particularly lauding her nostalgic vibe. Many viewers found her anime-inspired avatar irresistibly cute and engaging, describing her laugh as particularly charming. Feedback from fans highlighted the exceptional quality of her voice, prompting many to share their excitement for her future streams.
As her community eagerly anticipates her next appearance, several have declared her a “legend” in the making. Sakuna’s birthday falls on December 2, and despite her claimed age of 10,000 years, she embodies an innocent and playful personality.
Characteristically, Sakuna displays mischief while often dealing with bouts of bad luck. Although she exudes enthusiasm on camera, she tends to be more reserved in her private life.
Visually, Sakuna is adorned in soft pink hues, complete with eye features that reflect her favorite color. Her accessorizing includes pink and blue bows adorned with cat clips, symbolizing her aspiration to be a cat maid.

Sakuna’s remarkable debut follows closely behind Ironmouse, another VTuber who recently set records by becoming the most-subscribed streamer on Twitch after eclipsing Kai Cenat during her subathon.
With numerous VTubers making significant strides in the streaming industry, it remains to be seen what the future holds for these digital personalities as they expand their influence in the realm of online content creation.
