Houshou Marine Reached Over 3 Million Subscribers

Houshou Marine now has over 3 million subscribers on her YouTube channel. Cover made an announcement on Hololive Production’s official X social media account to celebrate the occasion. It added that Marine has become the first Japanese Hololive VTuber to reach the milestone.

As of January 11, 2024, Houshou Marine’s YouTube channel has over 3.1 million subscribers recorded. This means she has also surpassed Kizuna AI‘s channel—which has around 3 million subscribers at the same time—and become the second overall most subscribed VTuber on YouTube. The first spot goes to the Hololive English VTuber Gawr Gura, who stands at 4.42 million subscribers.

Houshou Marine held a singing endurance stream around the moment her channel hit the milestone. An archived version of that stream is also available to watch:

The pirate captain-themed VTuber made her official debut in August 2019. When Marine reached 1 million subscribers in January 2021, she was the fifth Japanese and sixth overall Hololive VTuber to hit the first major milestone. But when she hit 2 million in August 2022, she was the first Japanese and third overall from Hololive to get the amount.

Hololive Production’s female VTubers have huge popularity on YouTube, and many of them also have millions of subscribers on the platform. As of January 11, 2024, Usada Pekora stands as the third most-subscribed Hololive VTuber with 2.41 million subscribers recorded. The English VTuber Calliope Mori follows at fourth with 2.33 million. Hololive Indonesia’s Kobo Kanaeru rounds up the top five at 2.29 million subscribers, but Shirakami Fubuki is also trailing very close with 2.28 million.
