5 rising indie vtubers to keep an eye on

Indie vtubers on Twitch are a dime a dozen on YouTube and Twitch, but there are some diamonds in the rough that we should keep an eye on.

Indie vtubers are vtubers that aren’t affiliated with any organization or management. They’re mostly left on their own to manage their brand and stream-related things. While they have a hard time with those, they have more freedom than those affiliated with organizations since they need fewer permissions from people in management.

As such, indie vtubers are home to more free-spirited streamers and are usually a good time. Here are some indie vtubers that streaming fans should keep an eye on.

Five indie vtubers to keep an eye on

These five indie vtubers are just establishing themselves in the scene, but we think they could reach a wide audience with enough time, dedication, and fun content ideas. As of writing, most of the vtubers listed here aren’t reaching more than 200 viewers for their streams. However, don’t be surprised if they take over the scene soon.

Melparty

Melparty is not for weak hearts. She doesn’t mince her words and will tease viewers for the things they say in her chat. That being said, she’s one of the most entertaining vtubers due to the fact that she’s not afraid of banter. Not just that, her chat is also great at bantering which makes for a very fun experience.

She usually streams Just Chatting and sometimes games, but just her talking is enough to entertain an audience.

Rae Chuu

Rae Chuu is a cute bear variety vtuber who usually plays horror and soulslike games. Her relaxing demeanor and bright personality will put a smile on anybody that’s watching her play games. Other than being a streamer, she’s a full-time artist who does commissions for other streamers and vtubers.

Viewers should make sure to keep an eye on their volume levels. She’s cute, but she can get loud when she plays horror games.

Pinky Purin

Pinky Purin is a variety streamer who loves talking to her chat. She’s a bit of a clumsy person which only adds to her charm. Her high-energy streams would cheer people up if they’re having a bad day.

Fans looking for an adorable streamer who likes chatting a lot with her viewers should check her out, especially if they love the color pink.

Kazeki

Kazeki is a very cozy streamer who plays a lot of soulslike games. Just like any other streamer on this list, she also loves interacting with her chat. Since she’s a soulslike streamer, there will be times where she raises her voice. But most of the time, her voice is as calm as it gets, making her the perfect streamer to watch for a comfy time.

If fans want a vtuber who’s chill and can lull them to sleep with her voice, even if she’s playing Elden Ring, then Kazeki should definitely be an indie vtuber to check out.

AfterSchoolSophie

AfterSchoolSophie, more commonly known as Sophie, is a fighting game streamer who often sets up tournaments for her community. They can be for Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6, or any other fighting games that she has her eyes on. She has quite a few characters at the highest rank in Tekken 8 and she’s considered one of the best Ling Xiaoyu players in North America.

If vtubing fans want to see a high-level fighting game player piece people up on ranked, they should consider checking Sophie out.
