One of the more unique subsets of the Virtual Youtuber community, VchiBan is a "found family" VTuber group (not an agency) that was formed in 2023 by four creators: Buffpup and Shiabun from the US, Rosedoodle from Canada and AiCandii from Australia. Born out of a shared desire to do more within the VTuber space while remaining more or less independant, VchiBan's style of content embodies that sense of camraderie between its members, while also embodying the...less than prudish side of the community.
The group's website can be found here. In November 2023, the group announced and released a game that they had developed, titled Meet Your Oshi, which can be found here.
Tropes pertaining to VchiBan include:
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Buff is orange, Candii is purple, Rose is green and Shia is pink.
- Fantasy Kitchen Sink: A weredog, a bunnyman, a cat sprout, and the Token Human.
- Hidden Depths: Buff, Candii and Rose are gifted artists, and Shia is an experienced programmer - talents that get put on full display in Meet Your Oshi.
- Lovable Sex Maniac: All of them, to varying degrees - their horniness can often rival that of the Bottom Queens or even Projekt Melody.
- Shout-Out: All four of them are fans of Five Nights at Freddy's, so it's natural their game Meet Your Oshi takes clear influence from it with animatronic versions of themselves.
- True Companions: Perhaps the truest you’ll find in all of VTubing.
- You All Meet in an Inn: The group’s website describes their first meeting in-lore as a chance encounter in a café.
