Well actually, vtubing was created by New Line Cinema when Smeagol appeared in The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Smeagol's roommate was Andy Serkis, and he debuted in December, 2001, and graduated in December, 2003 in a global graduation stream release called The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Smeagol reincarnated shortly under new management in 2012 in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, but ended up on indefinite hiatus as his company released new gens in 2013 and 2014. This proves that big corpo from Hollywood created vtubing, a uniquely American phenomenon for ten full years until Ami Yamato.
