The popular Let’s Play YouTube genre just got a little weirder thanks to this comedic virtual idol from Japan.
If watching people play video games wasn’t enough for you, one channel is merging fiction with reality by introducing a fully motion captured and often entertaining virtual gamer girl in the form of Kizuna Ai.
Known as Let’s Play, watching someone else play games has become a growing trend over the last decade. It’s become quite a career for some, such as the divisive (and now infamous ) Felix Kjellberg, known as PewDiePie, having raked in six-figure sums for their videos.
Kizuna Ai is one of the more recent rising stars within the YouTube genre, having appeared on the scene in October of last year.
