Who Nekomata Okayu is
Nekomata Okayu is a Japanese VTuber in hololive GAMERS, a unit of hololive production operated by COVER Corporation. She made her debut stream on April 6, 2019. According to her official profile, she is a cat raised by an elderly woman who runs an onigiri shop, and she began streaming from a computer in her grandmother’s room. Her catchphrase is “Nom nom Okayu~!” and her illustrator is Kamioka Chiroru.
Her fans are called Onigiryaa. Her stream tag is #生おかゆ and her fan art tag is #絵かゆ. English Wikipedia describes her as the third member of hololive GAMERS after Shirakami Fubuki and Ookami Mio, and notes that she recommended her friend Inugami Korone, who joined the unit soon afterward. The pair are known together as OkaKoro.
Channel and style
Her streams cover games, chatting, ASMR and music. Wikipedia reports that she has streamed ASMR more often since 2021 and appears in several hololive voice packs. Her recommended videos on the official profile include a 3.0 model reveal and a collaboration stream with Houshou Marine.
Music is a large part of her activity. Her first album, Poisonya Syndrome, was released on September 6, 2022, and her second, Personya Respect, on May 14, 2025. Her second solo concert was held at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama on May 28, 2025, according to Wikipedia.
She also supervises a series of romance adventure games published with Entergram. The first, Okayunyumu, was released in Japan on February 27, 2025. Game*Spark reported in October 2025 that the sequel, Okayunyumu R, would be released on February 26, 2026, on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC, with a story set in Aomori Prefecture. Wikipedia states that the Steam version of the sequel was released on August 25, 2026, with English localization; it gives a different Japanese release date from Game*Spark, so the exact date should be checked against the publisher’s page.
