NEOBAKA is a VTuber agency based in Brazil.
As stated in its media kit, it aims to support and promote its talents in the virtual scenario, which, to them, represents the future of content creation and digital influence. Focusing on virtual reality, the metaverse, and its infinite possibilities, it seeks to introduce the concept of virtual idols in Brazil.[1]
NEOBAKA has a mix of both already existing independent VTubers who were recruited and new talents who auditioned for the company. It aims to provide members with in-house tech (like custom-made avatars), legal, PR, sponsors, upgrades, and opportunities, as well as social media expansion.
Profile[]
NEOBAKA is a talent-first company, focused on the personal growth of its members, providing them with a support base for their own individual projects and goals.
Their content is mostly aimed at a younger audience, being heavily focused on games and just chatting streams. Its talents seek to bring a positive experience to their viewers, with a more relaxing vibe and a no-heavy-words policy. They also recurrently do beneficent lives on special occasions, like holidays and anniversaries.[2]

On 11 July, the NEOBAKA Official Channel uploaded a teaser video about the last member, or rather, last members[50] of the second generation of the agency, The Destined (Os Destinados): the hacker twins, Mono and Momo.[51] The news left people surprised because the vast majority of the community thought it would be a man due to an alleged "leak" by member Toshiruz.

Members[]
| R | Retired from VTubing activities |

NEOBAKA initially didn't categorize their talents in generations, each talent having debuted individually. On 30th January 2024, though, CEO Chiisa announced that the agency would adopt the generation format, dividing the talents into groups of three. [53] Although it is currently unclear if that makes Mei-Ling a former member of the first generation, as she was featured in the "Viajantes" music video.
Each of the current members in NEOBAKA is represented by one of the Major Arcana cards in the tarot.[54]
Generation 1 - The Travelers || Os Viajantes
The first generation of talents is composed by three members, known as "The Travelers". Each one of them has their own different story that makes them get roped into adventures throughout space and time.[55]
| Toshiruz | DanteWill | Eeiris Zuro |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
Generation 2 - The Destined || Os Destinados
The second generation, known as "The Destined", is composed by humans who, by different circumstances, ended up coming across a sacred jewel (necklaces), each of them containing the sealed power of an Elemental God, known as their "Mentors".[55]
| Raviel Karim | Eveline Teach | Mono & Momo Chan |
|---|---|---|
