Career

[edit | edit source]

Sakura Miko debuted on August 1, 2018.[3] Her character was illustrated by Yuichi Tanaka. She started being a VTuber—an online entertainer who uses a virtual avatar generated using computer graphics—because she saw Tokino Sora and Kizuna Ai.[4][5] She debuted under the Cover Corporation. She became part of Hololive Production's 0th generation member in December.[6] She took a three-month break in July 2020 due to poor health. She reached 1 million subscribers in April 2021, being 14th in Hololive to do so.[7] In 2022, in a survey conducted by the app "Simeji", Sakura Miko ranked eighth on the "Top 10 Favorite VTubers chosen by Gen Z".[8]

In January 2023, she and Usada Pekora collaborated on the song "Mosh Race".[9] In February, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government appointed Sakura Miko as one of the 16 Tokyo Tourism Ambassadors.[10][11]

In March 2024, she released her song "Kyun Kyun Miko Kyun", written by the Vocaloid producer Kinoshita.[12] In April, she released her song "Nyahello World" to celebrate hitting 2 million subscribers on YouTube, the sixth in the Hololive to do so.[13][14] In September, she released her first full album, flower rhapsody, which talks about her "true self" and "feelings for you".[3] In October, she charted 21st in Billboard Japan's Artist 100.[15] In December, Sakura Miko was featured as examples in the research paper "Structural stability and thermodynamics of artistic composition" published in the PNAS journal.[16][17]

She became the top three most watched streamer for January 2025 with 5.13 million hours of watch time according to Stream Charts.[18]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

In an interview with The Nikkei, she said that she wanted to become a nursery teacher.[4] She proclaims herself as "Elite Shrine Maiden" (エリート巫女). She is a big fan of bishōjo games and eroge, even accidentally showing one on her stream. As a result, she had the opportunity to work with various games of these genres, such as singing the opening and ending theme to Ai Kiss 2.[6] She said that she likes Taiyaki.[5]
