List of small and unofficial groups

This page lists small and unofficial Virtual YouTuber groups and collaborations.

Four Heavenly Kings


The Four Heavenly Kings (四天王 shitennou) is an informal umbrella term coined by Japanese fans of virtual youtubers meant to associate the at the time four vtubers with the biggest amount of subscribers on YouTube (at the end of 2017): Kizuna AI, Kaguya Luna, Mirai Akari and Nojaloli.

Because of the subscribers gap between AI and the rest of the Heavenly Kings, that she is now above that category and called the Boss from onwards (親分 Oyabun, a term coined by Kaguya Luna), which allowed Siro to be included as part of the Four Heavenly Kings.

The term is derived from Buddhist mythology. The Four Heavenly Kings are deities each of whom watches over one cardinal direction of the world.

The VTuber world has greatly grown and changed since this term was coined (most notably, Nojaloli is no longer active), and it has not been updated with a new definition.
