ChipsDelayt

ChipsDelayt (チップス・デライト) is a male Filipino Virtual YouTuber based in the Philippines. Alongside streaming, he is also a VTuber clipper and graphic designer. He is mostly known by the PH VTuber community as now-graduated VTuber Lyrica's dedicated clipper. While originally an independent streamer, he is currently part of the PH VTuber group Project Kokonatsu.

Background
Chips' YouTube channel was created on 23 April 2018, but did not start uploading until 8 April 2020. With no specific nor serious goal for his channel in mind, his uploads started out being random and infrequent until the VTuber boom that happened later that year, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

2020
Following the skyrocketing popularity that VTubers have garnered, Chips took a liking to VTuber clips and briefly considered becoming a clipper, but ultimately decided against it. Ironically, he described clipping to his friends as "too time-consuming." At the same time, the concept of VTubing has started to influence the Philippines.

On 23 October, he uploaded his first clip, showcasing PH VTuber Umai Lele.

2021
In the prior year, Chips discovered rising PH VTuber Lyrica, and grew very fond of her as well as her community. It was around this time that he noticed the lack of clips of PH VTubers in general, so he started working on clipping streams of Lyrica.

On 3 March, he uploaded a clip of Lyrica, garnering attention from Lyrica herself and showcasing it on her stream a few days later. This, in turn, popularized the term "Kadabars" as her community name. The positive feedback from his close friends as well as the community motivated him to create and showcase many more following clips. Around this time, he also started watching other PH VTubers and clipping them as well, such as Hanami Arisa, Hana Tsubasa, Kaheru, and Pan.

On 3 September, he jokingly premiered a "Clipper Q&A Self Intro," a play on the trending "VTuber Q&A Self Intro" with Coronetto to voice act it instead of himself, leading to many people believing it to be his actual voice.

On 6 September, Lyrica graduated from becoming a VTuber, leading to his massive decline in YouTube activity. He revealed that this is because of a number of factors, including demotivation and school life.

On 19 September, he released his very own character sheet on Twitter and YouTube, by CyanNarra.

On 10 December, he streamed for the first time on YouTube.

2022
On 25 January, he revealed his VRoid model made by Nile Pereira and showcased it on stream.

On 12 December, Project Kokonatsu welcomed Chips as their 18th member.

On 17 December, he debuted as Chips 2.0, a Live2D model by Slowizx, CyanNarra, and Yana.
