In the days leading up to her debut, Sakuna’s YouTube subscriber count skyrocketed from 61,000 to over 450,000. Currently, her channel boasts an impressive 827,000 subscribers.

Viewers were drawn to Sakuna’s “nostalgic” persona, describing her anime-inspired avatar as “cute” and “entertaining.” Many were particularly taken by her distinctive laugh, with one fan commenting, “I have to recommend this stream because of her voice quality.”

Anticipation for her upcoming streams is high among fans, with some already considering her a “legend.”

Sakuna celebrates her birthday on December 2, classifying her as a Sagittarius. Despite claiming to be 10,000 years old, her personality is characterized by innocence and playfulness.

She enjoys playful antics, though misfortune often leads her to feel bashful. While her on-screen presence is lively and engaging, Sakuna tends to be more reserved when she’s not streaming.

Aesthetically, Sakuna’s character features light pink attire that matches her eye color. She accessorizes with pink and blue bows adorned with cat clips, symbolizing her aspiration to become a cat maid.

Having already made a significant impact, Sakuna will face competition from other well-known Japanese VTubers, such as Houshou Marine and Kiana Al, as she continues to stream.

Sakuna’s record-setting debut follows closely behind VTuber Ironmouse, who made headlines as the most-subscribed Twitch streamer after outpacing Kai Cenat during her subathon.

With the VTuber scene evolving rapidly, fans are left wondering what exciting developments will unfold next as they navigate the content creation landscape.
