Tokino Sora
Tokino Sora is the first VTuber of hololive production’s lineage: a singer and idol-style VTuber who began streaming in September 2017, before hololive existed as a group. She is part of the “0th generation” and releases music through Victor Entertainment. In 2026 she became the first talent to receive hololive’s “Visual Update,” part of the group’s countdown to its 10th anniversary.

Why she matters to hololive
Sora began streaming on September 7, 2017, with her first livestream on Niconico drawing about 13 viewers. She is regarded as a founding member of hololive production, and she is grouped with Roboco, Sakura Miko, Hoshimachi Suisei and AZKi in the “0th generation” because she debuted before hololive was officially formed. Wikipedia reports about 1.32 million YouTube subscribers; the date she reached her first million varies between sources, so we do not give one.

Sora’s activity centers on music, and she has performed in concerts throughout her career, starting with her first solo concert, “Dream!,” on October 6, 2019.
