As a result of the latest announcement from Ironmouse regarding her decisions to part ways with VShojo and the Vtuber bringing up the company’s failure to send over $500,000 from her subathon to Immune Deficiency Foundation, a number of other members of the company also announced their departures or intentions to go indie. This comes after other performers previously parted ways with or saw their ties cut earlier in 2025. To make things easier to parse as details come in, here’s a full list of everyone’s status and current statements on the situation. Based on current announcements, it seems like every Vtuber currently associated with VShojo is either leaving to go indie or preparing statements regarding their future if they haven’t already left the company.
Here’s a list of the status of every current or recently departed VShojo Vtuber so far. I also included performers like Matara Kan, Geega, and Zentreya, who left earlier, and some executives who previously left.
