Gawr Gura has become popular for her dynamic gaming streams and larger than life personality, but fans have also become quite curious about the age of Gura both in real life and the lore.
Gawr Gura is a vtuber that was debuted in the first generation of Hololive’s English division. Since she created her YouTube account in 2020 she has become one of the most popular vtubers on YouTube, reaching 2 million subscribers in just six months and 4.5 million in 2024.
Fans of the shark girl will often discuss the mysterious lore behind the avatar, with many wondering how old she is.
Gaw Gura’s lore puts her vtuber age at around 9,000 to 10,000 years old, but her real age is believed to be much lower.
As a shark girl, Gura is a descendant of the Lost City of Atlantis who swam to Earth out of boredom and decided to stay on the surface. This shocking history has her fans wondering what Gawr Gura’s real age actually is. On Reddit, one fan tried to figure out how old she was in “human years” by calculating how many shark years are in a human year, coming up with the age of 4,500 years. In response, another viewer pointed out that Gura is not a shark like those in the real world, but rather an Atlantean, which destroys that theory.
This turned to a discussion on Gawr Gura’s age “in real life” when she’s not in character. Going by Hololive’s requirements, she has to be at least 18 years old to be a member. Other fans noticed that Gawr Gura and other vtubers like Ame often talk about movies and games they’ve played in the past, which were media that came out before the 2000s. Most have guessed that Gaw Gura’s real age is around 30, but this isn’t known to the public.
Gawr Gura is a vtuber that has amassed millions of fans with engaging video game streams and her interesting persona. Her video game streams most often include horror and survival games. This includes Left 4 Dead and Dead by Daylight in recent years. She’s also played a survival game focused on sharks called Maneater. This was the first game she ever played on stream, which is quite fitting.
The shark girl appears as an adolescent girl with blue-streaked white hair and sharp teeth. She often wears a blue shark hat featuring fins and a shark-inspired hoodie. She also has a long shark tail that hangs to her feet, and fans have noticed a bite mark on it. The juvenile design clearly contrasts with Gawr Gura’s age in both lore and real life, but fans hardly seem to mind.
