DEREK
Vtuber Department
Have been watching vtubers (mainly vods and music videos) for almost 2 years. I listen to a few indies, but the majority have been from bigger corps like Hololive (Suisei, Mori, etc). I’ve attended a lot of conventions such as Anime expo and Fanime, but this’ll be my first ever convention in San Diego and I’m looking forward to it !
Has worked on: Fanime, Off-Kai, Anime Expo, Anime Los Angeles, Anime Impulse.
MATTHEW
Vtuber Department
He fell into the Vtuber Rabbit hole during the start of 2019 and never turned back, deciding to delve even deeper. From watching corporate companies such as Hololive, Nijisanji, VSPO, PRISM Project, Phase Connect, to indie vtubers, Matt believes there is at least a vtuber out there for every one person out there to enjoy. His interests lie in wanting to connect many others to other vtubers that some may not even be aware of, to build a welcoming community that everyone can feel safe as well as enjoy their oshis. Also brings vtuber cardboard cutouts to every con he can drive to.
Has worked on: Fanime and Anime Expo (Bushiroad staff/judge for Weiss Schwarz).
