Korone's "Eekom Bookum" and "Om nom nom" animation by 2Snacks is probably one of, if not, the most influential Hololive related content outside of Hololive official channels. Gura's "a" and her legendary first karaoke FBK's "scatman" and "coffin dance" Mikochi's GTA content and "Freedom Lady" Pekora's clip when she threw her netherite sword and weird English courtesy of NekoMikuri.
I think for veterans, that's indeed the case. But for newer holofans, Calli's songs, Suisei's FIRST TAKE appearance and AI covers may take a huge role on advertising this fantastic world. I hope they enter the mainstream anime industry, so that more people can cherish them. I got to know 96neko through Paripi Koumei, the anime was so good and when I knew all MC songs were sang by an VTuber, I was really happy.
@@aokikiyoshi shiiii your hopes will probably come true. VTubers are doing great in the industry today, with a huge variety of accolades and business moves
At first I was gonna say something about Coco not being on the list but then I realized, Myth is celebrating their 3 year anniversary. THREE YEARS. There's so many people falling down the hole who barely know who Coco is. Sobering thought.
Who got me into the rabbit hole was pekora but coco will always be good, honestly how dumb it sounds not a big fan of her now but as coco she was top tier lol.
Korone indeed attracted a massive western audience to the Vtuber scene, then the rest is history. Different people stayed for their own oshis but she is one of the few who was blessed by RNGod of RUclips to spread recommendations to millions, including me of course. All HAIL KORONE SAMA!!!
For me it was kind of funny. The first thing I remember seeing of Hololive was a Sora thumbnail for her cover of 'Alien, Alien'. Thought it was just another vocaloid project so looked over it. Then I randomly got another video but it was Matsuri and her infamous band-aid video. Fubuki and her meme videos cemented Hololive in my life for me. The scatman remix that was made was the final straw.
Fubuki introduced me to Hololive back around late October/Early November of 2019 with Scatman. I remember there wasn't a lot of translated clips back then, but there was the iconic Matsuri band-aid story and the back and forth neighborly disputes between Aqua and Shion in Minecraft.
Yeah basically it went like 1.Miko's N word clip started everything, followed by more GTA clips over time and eventually ARK 2.Someone made a bunch of Matsuri clips that took off 3.Matsuri's minecraft collab clips started to draw interest into the hololive minecraft server in general, with stuff like aqua shion and others 4.A bunch of silly clips of Fubuki making noises including the scatman took off 5.A bunch of English fans kept telling Korone to go to sleep during an endurance stream, which lead to her reaching out to the EN fans more and more Around that time is when covid hit and then hololive exploded because everyone was bored as hell
First I saw Korone animations, having no clue on how the Vtuber thing even works. Then I started getting the jest of it by watching so much clips, but only when I saw Pekora dropping her sword on lava is when I understood the appeal of the format, turning into a nousagi in peko-seconds.
went through the same path lol... was bingeing on Korone clips then decided to try another holotuber and the clip I stumbled upon was Pekora dropping the sword in the lava. The rest is, as they say, history.
Ina's right, Pekora's laugh is both charming and haunting depending on how you look at it. Since Kiara has Peko as her oshi, she could never paint her as a war criminal ww
Korone is so important to the western/international reach of Hololive and VTubers in general. Outside of Coco, she really reached out to the English speaking world more near more than anyone else when it got started.. She made an effort to learn and stream in English, and she called out to us, and tried (and tries) her best to meet us and its so important. Love the doggo (and miss the Dragon but I think she's doing fine *wherever* she is!).
in fact more than coco did a few months before coco realized that "hey, it's ok to reach out to the english viewers". I remember there was a time when Coco was being criticized for not speaking english more often, it was just a minor drama that happened but after 1 or 2 months after debut coco started to reach out more to the english fans and thus the birth of asacoco getting english subs and then eventually the meme review...
people are sleeping on Haachama lol, the whole reason Coco even joined is because Haachama was doing semi english streams right off the bat, then when holo was beginning to explode Korone got tons of oversees viewers from the visibility Haachama and Coco gave and decided to learn english to interact with them like your describing.
Its hard to pinpoint which talent was the first or biggest contributor cause the algorithm was crazy around the time. My first Hololive exposure was actually Matsuri playing that Mario hack, “Nande Monday Tuesday Wednesday”. Definitely, definitely though, its very hard to argue that Miko didn’t contribute to the surge of eyes on Hololive after showing of her Elite English. That would have been the safest answer.
The fubu Scatman and Miko GTA go homu dragged me into the rabbit hole. But what made me stuck there for eternity was the clip of Pekora throwing her saronite sword in the Lava 😂.
For me it was Pekora and Danchou with their getting over it duel that made me fall in the rabbit hole, Noel was the reason I clicked on the video, but Pekora was the reason I came back to it again, and again, and then search for what happened after the duel
Yeh, Korone really did play a massive role in causing loads of people to fall into the rabbit-hole, myself included. I still remember the, "Yes My Doggo" clip as being one of the very first exposures I had to Hololive, back in the day.
As you fish! Korone recruited me intro the rabbit hole too (in early 2020). Unfortunately, I do not remember with which clip, but I fell in love with her memes (my all time favorite ones are "I'm die, thank you forever" from the Korone-Calli collab and "Water in the fire?! Why?! I notto understand" from one of 2 English-only Mario streams, and still I think her English-only Mario streams are the best classics, they are literally meme goldmines, it's no wonder they are among the most viewed streams of her).
I distinctly remember which clip got me into Hololive. I started seeing Miko's GTA clips, Korone's meme clips, Fubuki's scatman one day pop up in my feed and I never clicked on any of them. But one night, right as I was about to sleep, I saw a particular Pekora clip pop up in my feed. It was that stupid English quiz she did and out of pure curiosity, I decided to click on it. It was the probably the first time since COVID started that I had laughed so hard from the combination of the sheer ridiculousness of both the quiz and Pekora's laughter, and my fatigue at 2 AM, that I ended up just binge watching a bunch of Pekora clips for the next hour. Needless to say, I was exhausted the next day but all I did during work was watch Pekora clips
Miko and the lava bucket introduced me into the rabbit hole. I am a hardcore minecraft fan at that point watching every minecraft videos. That legendary clip popped up.
It wasn't through RUclips recommendations that I found Korone, but through Twitter. I follow VGM composers, and Grant Kirkhope (composer for Banjo Kazooie, etc.) retweeted a streamer playing Banjo Kazooie. I checked it out and I was instantly enchanted. I must be part of the minority for my method of Hololive discovery eh >_>
this is so true tho pekora and miko minecraft pranks are what brought me in and introduced me to vtubers back in 2019 and fubukis funny youtube shorts all 3 of them are the reasons i got into the rabbit hole and im glad theyre all still doing well and streaming
It was Fubuki that dragged me into the rabbit hole. I was randomly recommended a compilation video of her doing a Minecraft parkour challenge, and was struck by how she just quietly laughed whenever she failed instead of exaggerating a response. Then I saw the iconic "beat up a pineapple" Scatman video, and knew I was never getting out. This was in September 2019, I still remember.
I was just phasing out of watching Achievement Hunter when I started getting into Hololive. I think it was an advertisement for IRyS shortly before her debut that really caught my eye (I'd know of vtubers by then, but hadn't seen much of them). Describing her as 'Hope' resonated for me since I'm a generally depressed person, so I thought I'd keep an eye out for her to see if she could bring me some much-needed hope. But when clips started showing up in my feed I think it was mostly Gura and Calli to start, and I got into watching Myth and IRyS together. Then Council debuted pretty much right as I started getting into it, and I loved their designs! I decided I was going to support them just from their looks alone, and I eagerly awaited their debuts and promptly fell down the rabbit hole with them. Took me ages to figure out who my Oshi was since all of the girls are fantastic! Not to mention how I pretty much got into them all at once. But these days it's certainly IRyS, the most adorkable delivery of hope I've had the joy to witness. And despite so many great clips from Korone, Gura, and everyone else I do believe that it was her advertisement on Siliconera that was probably what started me on the trip down the hole.
A Gura clip was the first V-Tuber content that i saw followd by Kiara's Fall guy clip where she cursed in German Callis RIP Song made me a fan of her Ame's rage was fun but Ina's comfy voice and puns is what held me down this rabbit hole 💜❤️🧡💛💙
i think korones eekum bokum meme was the thing that brought alot of kaigai niki to holo live, i dont even remember my self what brought me into the rabbit hole, but i started watching korone just a few weeks after her first debut
The votes are surprisingly accurate with the timeline! Fubuki was the OG Hololive carry at the beginning. Then, Hololive eventually entered its massive growth spike and Korone profited the most of it at the time.... and shortly after that, Hololive EN with Gura as the mascot entered the picture. Miko's GTA clips probably baited a lot people too (me included) and that was a bit before EN Hololive debut for me. I'm guessing the Pekora votes are from fans from after the EN debut. I think she only really took off after reaching 1M after her Peko mama reveal stream.
For me it was Ame, Kiara, and Kobo. First I saw a clip of Ame's Megamind watchalong and then I saw Kobo's/Kiara's Portal 2 playthrough. After that I started watching Kobo and when RUclips nuked her account for the first time I started looking into the rest of Hololive and then there was no turning back. Incidentally, the reason RUclips recommended me Ame's Megamind Watchalong is because I recently watched the video about Megamind by the channel Cinema Therapy. I went on a whole journey to go down the rabbit hole.
As my fp says, my Oshi was and always will be Peko-chan. I saw a short clip of her killing all her genmates with TNT in Minecraft, that single clip somehow triggered a flood of clips of her on my yt feed. I can't believe that was 4 years ago. ❣️ Edit: I tried to look for that clip but it's either taken down or I'm just not putting in the right keywords. I couldn't find it.
Back when Doom Eternal’s The Ancient Gods DLC’s were coming out, I found out about the DOOG Easter egg. Didn’t know Hololive at the time so when I saw it was based on Korone I watched her Doom 64 and Doom (2016) streams and the rest is history. Kinda sad that she hasn’t played Doom Eternal yet but still, her playing one of my favorite series is what dragged me in.
Fubuki Scatman, Miko N****, Matsuri playing Cat Mario and Mario Kart while drunk (I AM Hololive clip), Miko "I hope we'll stay together for ever" and Miko send Pekora to the moon are the oldest clips I remember watching from Hololive
It saddens me to see that Matsuri's contribution has already been forgotten ever since her popular clips made by the anti-coco channels was deleted. Iirc, the holo members with the most popular clips late 2019 to 2020 was Fubuki, Matsuri, Korone and Miko
Miko and Rushia were my first exposures. Korone was the first I kept coming back to. And Gura was the one I subscribed to first. Her or Korone. I don’t really remember which one.
For me, it was Pekora. The first Hololive video that got me was when I saw her doing a pumpkin cake prank in 2020. It might have been around Halloween. I don’t really watch Vtuber streams though. Only the highlights
I think RUclips recommended me some clip video of what turned out to be Korone's legendary Mario Bros English stream after Game Theory used her "Water in the fire" meme.
The one that brought me in is Suisei. I watched a video about her story and got huge respect for her, decided to see some clips to understand the "Suicopath" memes that was referenced in the video and... one clip let to the other and now I'm here rooting for the ReGloss members and cheering for Raden too. But Suisei is still my favorite and basically watched everything about her.
I remember I had got tiktok to see what the big deal was, generally I found it pretty boring until a clip popped up of Korone singing the Earthbound bus music. I can't find that tik tok anymore but I just remember slowly trying to figure out who it was because the tik tok didnt have any credit of course. Lots of googling and youtubing later and I am well in the rabbit hole.
Well goob and Rushia is the reason I fall to rabbit hole more than a year ago. I gain interest in vtuber thanks to a video about vtubers that including goob in that vid, and then starting to watch some clips and ofc that rushia rfa clips secured my stay here XD
I COULD SAY KORONE is the main one and I would be right but if we talk about the universal bridge between east and west HOLOLIVE world and vtubers that would be the unforgettable KIRYU COCO.and I dare say that she was the main cause of most of us who speak English falling down the rabbit hole.
I don't even remember who was first, could have been anyone out of Miko, Pekora, Fubuki or Aqushion. Maybe I can count them all together, cause it was definitly their clips combined.
Hmm, what brought me into the rabbit hole? I think it was a time when I was watching GirlDM on Twitch talk about their upcoming debuts, which led me to watching Gawr Gura's debut. So, my first step into the Hololive rabbit hole was probably literally "A".
Korone playing metal slug 3 stream got me intrigued (her visible/audible disgust), then had to check her other stuff! what sealed the deal is her later Elite collab with Miko😂 It was such a coincidence too since I was looking for Metal Slug secrets totally unaware of Vtubers~
After the era of Shitennou, I guess Pekora is the one who brings me to holo rabbit hole, her laugh is indeed iconic. Pekomom made me stay even longer 👀
Miko with the GTA Stay home clip or the Freedom lady with Coco 😂, #2 for Miko would have been my thought. I also thought Matsuri would have made the cut.
What you have to realize is that the majority of EN fans did not get into hololive until mid to late 2020. Matsuri, Miko and Fubuki were instrumental in getting EN fans into hololive in 2019 and early 2020, but Korone became more influential later on.
Bro, A is more iconic. And korone is also an irreplaceable. So 1 and 2 is clearly not negotiable. I believe if those 2 isn't in hololive, all of them will have half their subscribers and only marine fubu ame kobo and peko will be the only members to have above 1 million.
Not surprised Korone was number 1, I knew about her before I ever heard the term vtuber. It was her Doom clips way back in the day when there was still a question if vtubers were some sort of AI (Neuro-Sama being a long ways away at the time). I didn't know what the cute dog girl playing Doom was saying but I found it infinitely entertaining.
It was Miko that brought me to the rabbithole. My own list: 1. Miko 2. Fubuki 3. Coco 4. Korone 5. Pekora/Matsuri There is alot to put the list but these are the OGs, not only they allowed Hololive to reach to whole new audience, they also carried vtubing to new heights. They're the reason there is a lot of vtuber and vtuber agency these days.
It honestly depend a lot of the moment people were brought in. For exemple, Pekora and Fubuki brought a lot of fan (pekora a lot from JP too) when Hololive was very very small. Korone did attract a lot of fans later and reach a lot of Kagai-niki. Gura bring a lot indeed, but Hololive was already booming back then. Still impressive. I'm honestly happy to see so many HoloJP though, i really find since 2022, lot of fans coming from HoloEN, that know almost nothing of HoloJP and Hololive lore, and while it's normal, it sadden me sometimes, cause in 2020 Hololive was really a wholesome (still is, but they definitively don't have the "amateur" wholesome we could feel back then).
My own list: 1. Miko/Fubuki. Those two are the OG memelords, the amount of people they shove down in the rabbithole is tremendous. 2. Rushia. Rushia in her prime is something, her metal screams, tantrums, and ab*se of desk-kun draw many in the Hololive rabbit hole. 3. Korone. One of the OG memelords too. Many for sure got curious with her "Im'Die", "eekum bookum", "water on the fire" and the hit "Doog" stream. 4. Coco. To be honest i don't know where to place her, technically the most important of all due to her influence and the reason why EN exist im the first place. One hell of a memelord too and the English Lesson with Miko regarding Freedom Lady and I'm ho*ny by Marine are top notch. She is great supporting character just as much as she is good as the main, big respect for this gal. 5. Pekora the War Criminal. From her distinct laugh, to Pain Peko moments, and atrocities she initiated, she is one hell of a content queen. Honorable Mentions: *Watame. She basically did nothing wrong, it was her internet's fault many fell into the rabbit hole 😅 *Gura. The most subscribed talent with considerable amount of memes attached to her enough for her to magnetized many. *Marine the Ho*ny, her collab with Coco, peculiar Idol step, and unquenchable thirst, added to the fact her song hits, no wonder why. *Matsuri the god. From her band aids, obsession with lolis, and her shamele$s talking of her feti$h, the all attack, no defense, the glass cannon of Hololive. *Subaru. The Gap Moe of this tomboy is way too much. No wonder many got caught be her charm. We can add Suisei, Aqua, Botan, Ina, Calli the ID girls especially Kobo, but it will make the list longer and some of them only grew by the time Hololive has already gained reputation, making it easier for latter generations to gain easy sub. Those whom i mentioned at the top 5 was i think the reason why Hololive boomed in the first place. This ain't a battle about subscriber amount, it is about who makes people got curious and got shoved by them into the rabbit hole. They might not have subscribe to them, but it leads them to the plethora of other talents that they Jam more.
Coco have problem, so ppl and the myth it self doesnt want involve to that problem, cuz no benefit at all. For the gree... even hololive doesnt want to say her name.
@@ryansurya5211 that is why i put her in the honorable mention. She isnt on my top 5, but i am pretty sure many has been hooked by her shenanigans. The first one i saw was Miko with her N-moment, but at that time, i didnt know who she was. Few months after, it was Rushia, the one to lured me in. I didnt even know she and Miko is pretty much a coworker if i didnt see the Ochame Kinou and noticed Miko, i was like, "oh this girl! The one who did the N-word!". After watching clips after clips of Miko, that was the time i solidified myself as 35p. 😆
My friends shared to me the clip where Fubuki softlocks herself in Super Mario Bros 3 and just quietly asks for help. That was how I found out about Fubuki.
Gooba Was the one who introduced me to hololive i just found her on my recommendations and it said that a livestream was planned in a few hours The debut I didn't know how any of this works but it's been 3 years now and I finally get Not only with EN but with JP and a little bit of ID as well Thank you Gooba For the amazing Adventures we had together in the last 3 years Happy 3rd anniversary MYTH🔱🔍💀🐔🐙
I started seeing fanarts of Hololive talent a little under 3 years ago, and thought Gura was just so cute. Then I found out she spoke English, much to my surprise, as I thought all VTubers were Japanese-only. I decided this was my chance to finally start watching them, and I’ve been deep in the rabbit hole ever since!
My first Hololive recommendations were Korone dog then Yagoo gets kidnapped & Rabbit goes Psycho mode 😂. The Elite is my Oshi , but don’t tell our wife 😂
Let’s go, we got Gura saying Korone’s name, my (and my others dreams) of a dog shark collab is probably never happening so saying each others name is the closest we’ll get
I had seen clips of Korone before I really understood the whole V-Tuber thing, but what actually started me off on going down the Rabbit Hole was shortly after Calli debuted and "Excuse Me But Rip" appeared in my suggestions. The next day I happened to be around for Gura's and Amelia's debuts. Rest is history.
Funny thing is, my first interaction with Hololive was a clip of Miko playing either saints row or GTA saying "energy drink-u?" While beating the shit out of some guy. I had no idea who she or Hololive were and my only experience with VTubers before that was, like many others, translated Kizuna Ai videos. I found the technology behind it fascinating, at the time, but never ended up exploring further. It was only years later, during the dark times, that i rediscovered and subsequently became invested in Hololive and other VTubers, with Korone being the main focus. A story many others share, im sure. Its really heartening to see how far Holo and especially Miko have come, especially considering how much she struggled early on. Well done, everyone! (I never could find that Miko clip again 😅)
Kinda wild thinking about how back in the day Miko's GTA clip(s) used to be considered the biggest bait into the rabbit hole, but after the exponential growth of the scene in the following years the numbers she pulled are comparatively small to the numbers today.
I learned of Hololive super early on with Sora around the time Kizuna Ai was popping off. I distinctly remember Ai beating the crap out of a car street fighter style, but I didn’t fall down the Hololive rabbit hole until Coco came a long. After that I was on the Hololive hype train. Great to see how much Hololive and all the talents have grown.
I honestly don't remember who brought me in but I watch Korone and Pekora the most from Japan and Fauna the most from EN. Council debuted a few months after I fell down the hole
Mine it was Suisei. It's one of the clips when she talk about her family found out about her vtuber job. Now I'm using Aqua wake up call as my alarm😂. Onion is my Oshi
Korone because stuff like Snacks, Gurs got me in because I saw her playing DMC, and Fubuki? Well once you fall into the Kamen Rider rabbit hole a bit.... anything goes.
Nice clip, its weird they have been here for 3 years. That's a good list all of them are popular but it doesn't look like lot of people voted though, Gura with 45 votes and Pekora 29. Coco brought me in with ark and Asacoco then Holohouse with Kanata and Suisei. Its been over 2years since Coco left like Biboo didn't know what Asacoco was her chat had to tell her thats crazy to me! Time flys
Gaw Gura brought in a huge ton of people into Hololive, she was the first one to reach 2 million subs and the only one to reach 4 million subs. While she doesn't get as many live viewers as Miko, the fact that she pulled in 4 million ppl into her channel means that she pulled in the most/2nd most ppl into Hololive.
1st Hololive clip i saw was Rushia gushing over a Strider in Minecraft, it was really cute. But the reason i stayed was Miko's GTA Streams.. Her GTA Streams was Really Influential.

Thx for reminding me of the Koro vids that introduced me to hololive. Now I’m gonna go watch them again
I think for veterans, that's indeed the case. But for newer holofans, Calli's songs, Suisei's FIRST TAKE appearance and AI covers may take a huge role on advertising this fantastic world.
I hope they enter the mainstream anime industry, so that more people can cherish them. I got to know 96neko through Paripi Koumei, the anime was so good and when I knew all MC songs were sang by an VTuber, I was really happy.
@@aokikiyoshi shiiii your hopes will probably come true. VTubers are doing great in the industry today, with a huge variety of accolades and business moves
2manysnacks definitely pulled me in.
Yep 2snacks' korone animation pulled me in. Always loved 2snacks animations from the SBF years.
Miko had me looking in the rabbit hole, Pekora kicked me in.
lol me too
"Pekora kicked me in."
Yes, that sounds like something she'd do.
Miko has such a way with words when she said the most gamer thing while playing GTA V, up until that point I had no interest in vtubers.
@@elijahromero1804 literally this
Pekora was the one who dug it I suppose
At first I was gonna say something about Coco not being on the list but then I realized, Myth is celebrating their 3 year anniversary. THREE YEARS. There's so many people falling down the hole who barely know who Coco is. Sobering thought.
Damn I didn't consider that. Still surprising to me because coco was what got me.
@@jamsdiscourse9512she was probably #6
Who got me into the rabbit hole was pekora but coco will always be good, honestly how dumb it sounds not a big fan of her now but as coco she was top tier lol.
Pura gente de la patrona Coco o7
it’s scary to think it’s already been over 2 years since Coco graduated…
Korone indeed attracted a massive western audience to the Vtuber scene, then the rest is history. Different people stayed for their own oshis but she is one of the few who was blessed by RNGod of RUclips to spread recommendations to millions, including me of course. All HAIL KORONE SAMA!!!
"Yubi Yubi!!"
still my oshi to this day
for me is the legendary "stay home", but yeah korone with "wtf" clip bring me to this rabbit hole
RUclips RNG recommending a compilation of moments from her English-only SMB1 stream for me.
Yeah, for me was Korone too, now my oshi is Millie but I still watching some clips of Korone for the old times
For me it was kind of funny. The first thing I remember seeing of Hololive was a Sora thumbnail for her cover of 'Alien, Alien'. Thought it was just another vocaloid project so looked over it. Then I randomly got another video but it was Matsuri and her infamous band-aid video. Fubuki and her meme videos cemented Hololive in my life for me. The scatman remix that was made was the final straw.
Yeah, that's the same for me too.
It was Matsuri's band-aid story that spartan kicked me into the rabbit hole and it just keeps on going
I also got into Hololive through the band-aid video, although I had already watched Kizuna Ai for a while before that.
Fubuki introduced me to Hololive back around late October/Early November of 2019 with Scatman. I remember there wasn't a lot of translated clips back then, but there was the iconic Matsuri band-aid story and the back and forth neighborly disputes between Aqua and Shion in Minecraft.
Yeah basically it went like
1.Miko's N word clip started everything, followed by more GTA clips over time and eventually ARK
2.Someone made a bunch of Matsuri clips that took off
3.Matsuri's minecraft collab clips started to draw interest into the hololive minecraft server in general, with stuff like aqua shion and others
4.A bunch of silly clips of Fubuki making noises including the scatman took off
5.A bunch of English fans kept telling Korone to go to sleep during an endurance stream, which lead to her reaching out to the EN fans more and more
Around that time is when covid hit and then hololive exploded because everyone was bored as hell
Most of FBK and Aqua's fans got Thanos snapped so a lot of their momentum and reach got reset.
Yup, Fubuki and Matsuri were the initial pulls for me. Makes me feel like a boomer when people say Korone eekum bokom or Gura.
@@bobpotato1231 Hololive was already blowing up before covid. It would have happen regardless of whether covid happened or not.
Haachama grabbed my attention first back in 2019 Just before Coco, Kanata, ect had their debuts. Hope she's doing ok.
First I saw Korone animations, having no clue on how the Vtuber thing even works. Then I started getting the jest of it by watching so much clips, but only when I saw Pekora dropping her sword on lava is when I understood the appeal of the format, turning into a nousagi in peko-seconds.
Pekora dropping her netherite sword was also my first holo clip lol.
Water in the fire
Is peko seconds a funny thing in the nousagi world? First time I'm seeing it and that's a good pun
went through the same path lol... was bingeing on Korone clips then decided to try another holotuber and the clip I stumbled upon was Pekora dropping the sword in the lava. The rest is, as they say, history.
*gist
Ina's right, Pekora's laugh is both charming and haunting depending on how you look at it. Since Kiara has Peko as her oshi, she could never paint her as a war criminal ww
Korone is so important to the western/international reach of Hololive and VTubers in general. Outside of Coco, she really reached out to the English speaking world more near more than anyone else when it got started.. She made an effort to learn and stream in English, and she called out to us, and tried (and tries) her best to meet us and its so important.

She invented the "hey guys" summoning technique
people are sleeping on Haachama lol, the whole reason Coco even joined is because Haachama was doing semi english streams right off the bat, then when holo was beginning to explode Korone got tons of oversees viewers from the visibility Haachama and Coco gave and decided to learn english to interact with them like your describing.
Pekomoon is more important than cocos entire existence
nothing's stopping you from watching the dragon, she hasn't changed
Its hard to pinpoint which talent was the first or biggest contributor cause the algorithm was crazy around the time. My first Hololive exposure was actually Matsuri playing that Mario hack, “Nande Monday Tuesday Wednesday”. Definitely, definitely though, its very hard to argue that Miko didn’t contribute to the surge of eyes on Hololive after showing of her Elite English. That would have been the safest answer.
i fall in bc of gar gooombus still love that dork very much even when she doesn´t stream that much.
Surely that miko and shuba N word GTA moment bring the most attention, cause its so funny seeing them cheerfully saying it with 0 malice at all
I think it was Miko's "STAY HOME!!" gta clips that got me. Either that or the infamous N-bomb sing-a-long 😂
Same
Also might be the lava incident...
How I fell in the rabbit hole
PekoMiko/PekoSuba Minecraft war arc. Those days just so precious to me.
Miko is my first vtuber encounter and the clip i saw was when she rap while playing a horror game.., and then i start to watch her everyday
the scatman is the reason im in this rabbit hole , saw it on 9gag
The fubu Scatman and Miko GTA go homu dragged me into the rabbit hole. But what made me stuck there for eternity was the clip of Pekora throwing her saronite sword in the Lava 😂.
For me it was Pekora and Danchou with their getting over it duel that made me fall in the rabbit hole, Noel was the reason I clicked on the video, but Pekora was the reason I came back to it again, and again, and then search for what happened after the duel
The Elite brought me in
Miko's GTAV stream was the shit.. the Gacha door was the peak
Miko truly is the hololive-queen of gta (as well as pekora)! & kiara is now the hololive-en queen of gta now!
now that's the real answer
I had seen Sora videos floating around for a few years but it wasn't until i saw some Korone clips + Miko singing the Ark song + Pekora that I stayed
For me it was Haachama's Big Red Heart song. After that I caught a few streams and realized there were more vtubers, and the rest is history
Yeh, Korone really did play a massive role in causing loads of people to fall into the rabbit-hole, myself included. I still remember the, "Yes My Doggo" clip as being one of the very first exposures I had to Hololive, back in the day.
As you fish! Korone recruited me intro the rabbit hole too (in early 2020). Unfortunately, I do not remember with which clip, but I fell in love with her memes (my all time favorite ones are "I'm die, thank you forever" from the Korone-Calli collab and "Water in the fire?! Why?! I notto understand" from one of 2 English-only Mario streams, and still I think her English-only Mario streams are the best classics, they are literally meme goldmines, it's no wonder they are among the most viewed streams of her).
I distinctly remember which clip got me into Hololive. I started seeing Miko's GTA clips, Korone's meme clips, Fubuki's scatman one day pop up in my feed and I never clicked on any of them. But one night, right as I was about to sleep, I saw a particular Pekora clip pop up in my feed. It was that stupid English quiz she did and out of pure curiosity, I decided to click on it. It was the probably the first time since COVID started that I had laughed so hard from the combination of the sheer ridiculousness of both the quiz and Pekora's laughter, and my fatigue at 2 AM, that I ended up just binge watching a bunch of Pekora clips for the next hour. Needless to say, I was exhausted the next day but all I did during work was watch Pekora clips
Miko and the lava bucket introduced me into the rabbit hole. I am a hardcore minecraft fan at that point watching every minecraft videos. That legendary clip popped up.
Miko got me to this rabbit hole from her gta stream.
It wasn't through RUclips recommendations that I found Korone, but through Twitter. I follow VGM composers, and Grant Kirkhope (composer for Banjo Kazooie, etc.) retweeted a streamer playing Banjo Kazooie. I checked it out and I was instantly enchanted. I must be part of the minority for my method of Hololive discovery eh >_>
Matsuri got me into Hololive around the end of 2019.
For me it was miko and it’s thanks to the GTA5 clip
this is so true tho pekora and miko minecraft pranks are what brought me in and introduced me to vtubers back in 2019 and fubukis funny youtube shorts all 3 of them are the reasons i got into the rabbit hole and im glad theyre all still doing well and streaming
It was Fubuki that dragged me into the rabbit hole. I was randomly recommended a compilation video of her doing a Minecraft parkour challenge, and was struck by how she just quietly laughed whenever she failed instead of exaggerating a response. Then I saw the iconic "beat up a pineapple" Scatman video, and knew I was never getting out. This was in September 2019, I still remember.
love the collaboration
I was just phasing out of watching Achievement Hunter when I started getting into Hololive. I think it was an advertisement for IRyS shortly before her debut that really caught my eye (I'd know of vtubers by then, but hadn't seen much of them). Describing her as 'Hope' resonated for me since I'm a generally depressed person, so I thought I'd keep an eye out for her to see if she could bring me some much-needed hope. But when clips started showing up in my feed I think it was mostly Gura and Calli to start, and I got into watching Myth and IRyS together. Then Council debuted pretty much right as I started getting into it, and I loved their designs! I decided I was going to support them just from their looks alone, and I eagerly awaited their debuts and promptly fell down the rabbit hole with them.
Took me ages to figure out who my Oshi was since all of the girls are fantastic! Not to mention how I pretty much got into them all at once. But these days it's certainly IRyS, the most adorkable delivery of hope I've had the joy to witness. And despite so many great clips from Korone, Gura, and everyone else I do believe that it was her advertisement on Siliconera that was probably what started me on the trip down the hole.
Miko was probably the reason why. Her gta stream brought EVERYONE in.
A Gura clip was the first V-Tuber content that i saw followd by Kiara's Fall guy clip where she cursed in German Callis RIP Song made me a fan of her Ame's rage was fun but Ina's comfy voice and puns is what held me down this rabbit hole 💜❤️🧡💛💙
i think korones eekum bokum meme was the thing that brought alot of kaigai niki to holo live, i dont even remember my self what brought me into the rabbit hole, but i started watching korone just a few weeks after her first debut
The votes are surprisingly accurate with the timeline! Fubuki was the OG Hololive carry at the beginning. Then, Hololive eventually entered its massive growth spike and Korone profited the most of it at the time.... and shortly after that, Hololive EN with Gura as the mascot entered the picture.
Miko's GTA clips probably baited a lot people too (me included) and that was a bit before EN Hololive debut for me.
I'm guessing the Pekora votes are from fans from after the EN debut. I think she only really took off after reaching 1M after her Peko mama reveal stream.
2:42 Pekora's laugh is essentially:
*"Nuclear Launch Detected"*
For me it was Ame, Kiara, and Kobo. First I saw a clip of Ame's Megamind watchalong and then I saw Kobo's/Kiara's Portal 2 playthrough. After that I started watching Kobo and when RUclips nuked her account for the first time I started looking into the rest of Hololive and then there was no turning back.
Incidentally, the reason RUclips recommended me Ame's Megamind Watchalong is because I recently watched the video about Megamind by the channel Cinema Therapy. I went on a whole journey to go down the rabbit hole.
As my fp says, my Oshi was and always will be Peko-chan. I saw a short clip of her killing all her genmates with TNT in Minecraft, that single clip somehow triggered a flood of clips of her on my yt feed. I can't believe that was 4 years ago. ❣️
Edit: I tried to look for that clip but it's either taken down or I'm just not putting in the right keywords. I couldn't find it.
Korone for sure led me down the rabbit hole in 2020 and man time flies…
Back when Doom Eternal’s The Ancient Gods DLC’s were coming out, I found out about the DOOG Easter egg. Didn’t know Hololive at the time so when I saw it was based on Korone I watched her Doom 64 and Doom (2016) streams and the rest is history. Kinda sad that she hasn’t played Doom Eternal yet but still, her playing one of my favorite series is what dragged me in.
Pekora's trap house full of snowmen was the moment that got me into this rabbit hole 😁
Fubuki Scatman, Miko N****, Matsuri playing Cat Mario and Mario Kart while drunk (I AM Hololive clip), Miko "I hope we'll stay together for ever" and Miko send Pekora to the moon are the oldest clips I remember watching from Hololive
Personally me it was miko on tiktok
It saddens me to see that Matsuri's contribution has already been forgotten ever since her popular clips made by the anti-coco channels was deleted. Iirc, the holo members with the most popular clips late 2019 to 2020 was Fubuki, Matsuri, Korone and Miko
Yep, Fubuki is the reason why I'm going to rabbit hole of Hololive... (After or maybe in same time with Collab with Azur Lane x HoloGamers)
Miko and Rushia were my first exposures. Korone was the first I kept coming back to. And Gura was the one I subscribed to first. Her or Korone. I don’t really remember which one.
For me, it was Pekora. The first Hololive video that got me was when I saw her doing a pumpkin cake prank in 2020. It might have been around Halloween. I don’t really watch Vtuber streams though. Only the highlights
I think RUclips recommended me some clip video of what turned out to be Korone's legendary Mario Bros English stream after Game Theory used her "Water in the fire" meme.
The one that brought me in is Suisei. I watched a video about her story and got huge respect for her, decided to see some clips to understand the "Suicopath" memes that was referenced in the video and... one clip let to the other and now I'm here rooting for the ReGloss members and cheering for Raden too. But Suisei is still my favorite and basically watched everything about her.
I meet Miko and stay for MiComet and Gen 0.
I cannot remember which of them was first, but I saw 2 clips very close to each other in late 2019. One with Fubuki, and one with (at the time) Haato
Gura is the one who gets me to know Hololive.
And Korone is the one who drags me down the rabbit hole.
Same
The opposite for me lol.
I knew of hololive through Korone.
But what got me invested through Gura since I was a follower of her old channel.
I remember I had got tiktok to see what the big deal was, generally I found it pretty boring until a clip popped up of Korone singing the Earthbound bus music. I can't find that tik tok anymore but I just remember slowly trying to figure out who it was because the tik tok didnt have any credit of course. Lots of googling and youtubing later and I am well in the rabbit hole.
I still remember those days when everyone was watching closely who's gonna get the 1 mil subs on holojp first lol.. it's always korone vs fubuki..
Well goob and Rushia is the reason I fall to rabbit hole more than a year ago.
I gain interest in vtuber thanks to a video about vtubers that including goob in that vid, and then starting to watch some clips and ofc that rushia rfa clips secured my stay here XD
I COULD SAY KORONE is the main one and I would be right but if we talk about the universal bridge between east and west HOLOLIVE world and vtubers that would be the unforgettable KIRYU COCO.and I dare say that she was the main cause of most of us who speak English falling down the rabbit hole.
I don't even remember who was first, could have been anyone out of Miko, Pekora, Fubuki or Aqushion. Maybe I can count them all together, cause it was definitly their clips combined.
Hmm, what brought me into the rabbit hole? I think it was a time when I was watching GirlDM on Twitch talk about their upcoming debuts, which led me to watching Gawr Gura's debut. So, my first step into the Hololive rabbit hole was probably literally "A".
Korone playing metal slug 3 stream got me intrigued (her visible/audible disgust), then had to check her other stuff! what sealed the deal is her later Elite collab with Miko😂
It was such a coincidence too since I was looking for Metal Slug secrets totally unaware of Vtubers~
Poor doggos is terrified of worms.
What got me into this whole mess was a clip of Kanata doing an ikemen voice while playing tetris with Suisei.
After the era of Shitennou, I guess Pekora is the one who brings me to holo rabbit hole, her laugh is indeed iconic.
Pekomom made me stay even longer 👀
Lot of KFP are young fans. Im surprised i didn't see Miko as number 1 or 2. Im also shocked coco wasnt in this.
Miko with the GTA Stay home clip or the Freedom lady with Coco 😂, #2 for Miko would have been my thought. I also thought Matsuri would have made the cut.
@@Ohmu
The Miko n word clip was pretty big too.
@@tpolutts3309& her 2nd response 2 that scene was also iconic.
“FAQ UUUUUUUUU 🎶 !”
What you have to realize is that the majority of EN fans did not get into hololive until mid to late 2020. Matsuri, Miko and Fubuki were instrumental in getting EN fans into hololive in 2019 and early 2020, but Korone became more influential later on.
Bro, A is more iconic.
And korone is also an irreplaceable. So 1 and 2 is clearly not negotiable. I believe if those 2 isn't in hololive, all of them will have half their subscribers and only marine fubu ame kobo and peko will be the only members to have above 1 million.
Not surprised Korone was number 1, I knew about her before I ever heard the term vtuber. It was her Doom clips way back in the day when there was still a question if vtubers were some sort of AI (Neuro-Sama being a long ways away at the time). I didn't know what the cute dog girl playing Doom was saying but I found it infinitely entertaining.
It was Miko that brought me to the rabbithole.
My own list:
1. Miko
2. Fubuki
3. Coco
4. Korone
5. Pekora/Matsuri
There is alot to put the list but these are the OGs, not only they allowed Hololive to reach to whole new audience, they also carried vtubing to new heights. They're the reason there is a lot of vtuber and vtuber agency these days.
Yeah but Gura broke the ceiling. She got to 1m - 2m subs at an insane speed which caused a huge spike in practically everyone's subs in hololive
It honestly depend a lot of the moment people were brought in.
For exemple, Pekora and Fubuki brought a lot of fan (pekora a lot from JP too) when Hololive was very very small.
Korone did attract a lot of fans later and reach a lot of Kagai-niki.
Gura bring a lot indeed, but Hololive was already booming back then. Still impressive.
I'm honestly happy to see so many HoloJP though, i really find since 2022, lot of fans coming from HoloEN, that know almost nothing of HoloJP and Hololive lore, and while it's normal, it sadden me sometimes, cause in 2020 Hololive was really a wholesome (still is, but they definitively don't have the "amateur" wholesome we could feel back then).
My own list:
1. Miko/Fubuki. Those two are the OG memelords, the amount of people they shove down in the rabbithole is tremendous.
2. Rushia. Rushia in her prime is something, her metal screams, tantrums, and ab*se of desk-kun draw many in the Hololive rabbit hole.
3. Korone. One of the OG memelords too. Many for sure got curious with her "Im'Die", "eekum bookum", "water on the fire" and the hit "Doog" stream.
4. Coco. To be honest i don't know where to place her, technically the most important of all due to her influence and the reason why EN exist im the first place. One hell of a memelord too and the English Lesson with Miko regarding Freedom Lady and I'm ho*ny by Marine are top notch. She is great supporting character just as much as she is good as the main, big respect for this gal.
5. Pekora the War Criminal. From her distinct laugh, to Pain Peko moments, and atrocities she initiated, she is one hell of a content queen.
Honorable Mentions:
*Watame. She basically did nothing wrong, it was her internet's fault many fell into the rabbit hole 😅
*Gura. The most subscribed talent with considerable amount of memes attached to her enough for her to magnetized many.
*Marine the Ho*ny, her collab with Coco, peculiar Idol step, and unquenchable thirst, added to the fact her song hits, no wonder why.
*Matsuri the god. From her band aids, obsession with lolis, and her shamele$s talking of her feti$h, the all attack, no defense, the glass cannon of Hololive.
*Subaru. The Gap Moe of this tomboy is way too much. No wonder many got caught be her charm.
We can add Suisei, Aqua, Botan, Ina, Calli the ID girls especially Kobo, but it will make the list longer and some of them only grew by the time Hololive has already gained reputation, making it easier for latter generations to gain easy sub. Those whom i mentioned at the top 5 was i think the reason why Hololive boomed in the first place.
This ain't a battle about subscriber amount, it is about who makes people got curious and got shoved by them into the rabbit hole. They might not have subscribe to them, but it leads them to the plethora of other talents that they Jam more.
Fair enough
Coco have problem, so ppl and the myth it self doesnt want involve to that problem, cuz no benefit at all.
For the gree... even hololive doesnt want to say her name.
I hate to say it but matsuri holding pee stream is the first 1 to be recommended to me..
@@ryansurya5211 that is why i put her in the honorable mention. She isnt on my top 5, but i am pretty sure many has been hooked by her shenanigans. The first one i saw was Miko with her N-moment, but at that time, i didnt know who she was. Few months after, it was Rushia, the one to lured me in. I didnt even know she and Miko is pretty much a coworker if i didnt see the Ochame Kinou and noticed Miko, i was like, "oh this girl! The one who did the N-word!". After watching clips after clips of Miko, that was the time i solidified myself as 35p. 😆
I was pulled by Calli's debut song appearing in a RUclips mix. I was a fan of hers before Hololive, so yeah.
My friends shared to me the clip where Fubuki softlocks herself in Super Mario Bros 3 and just quietly asks for help. That was how I found out about Fubuki.
I wonder how many Subaru has brought in just by how widespread her dancing gif is.
I have Pekora's laugh as my notification sound so it makes me happy Ina had her laugh as an alarm
fubuki is the first hololive member that i know, but ollie is the one who drag me to this rabbit hole
Fubukis "I am eee to japanese gobolin" is a banger. The gobolin part always gets me.
Gooba Was the one who introduced me to hololive i just found her on my recommendations and it said that a livestream was planned in a few hours The debut I didn't know how any of this works but it's been 3 years now and I finally get Not only with EN but with JP and a little bit of ID as well Thank you Gooba For the amazing Adventures we had together in the last 3 years Happy 3rd anniversary MYTH🔱🔍💀🐔🐙
I started seeing fanarts of Hololive talent a little under 3 years ago, and thought Gura was just so cute. Then I found out she spoke English, much to my surprise, as I thought all VTubers were Japanese-only. I decided this was my chance to finally start watching them, and I’ve been deep in the rabbit hole ever since!
it was matsuri's band aid clip for me back in 2019 also saw miko completely burning her house down in minecraft. hilarious.
Surprised Matsuri isn't in here, considering a certain clip of hers which most people declare as their first step into the rabbit hole
My first Hololiver that I watch is definitely Kiryu Kazum- um, I mean Kiryu Coco. The GMMF was too good.
I'm surprised not many people mentioned matsuri at all. Kinda sad because her band aid story clip went pretty viral back in the day.
Maybe the vote is rig.
Botan is what brought me into JP but Calli and Ina made me fall in love with vtubers as a whole
My first Hololive recommendations were Korone dog then Yagoo gets kidnapped & Rabbit goes Psycho mode 😂. The Elite is my Oshi , but don’t tell our wife 😂
Let’s go, we got Gura saying Korone’s name, my (and my others dreams) of a dog shark collab is probably never happening so saying each others name is the closest we’ll get
so much fun this anniversary with holomyth!
I had seen clips of Korone before I really understood the whole V-Tuber thing, but what actually started me off on going down the Rabbit Hole was shortly after Calli debuted and "Excuse Me But Rip" appeared in my suggestions. The next day I happened to be around for Gura's and Amelia's debuts. Rest is history.
Funny thing is, my first interaction with Hololive was a clip of Miko playing either saints row or GTA saying "energy drink-u?" While beating the shit out of some guy. I had no idea who she or Hololive were and my only experience with VTubers before that was, like many others, translated Kizuna Ai videos. I found the technology behind it fascinating, at the time, but never ended up exploring further. It was only years later, during the dark times, that i rediscovered and subsequently became invested in Hololive and other VTubers, with Korone being the main focus. A story many others share, im sure. Its really heartening to see how far Holo and especially Miko have come, especially considering how much she struggled early on. Well done, everyone!
(I never could find that Miko clip again 😅)
Kinda wild thinking about how back in the day Miko's GTA clip(s) used to be considered the biggest bait into the rabbit hole, but after the exponential growth of the scene in the following years the numbers she pulled are comparatively small to the numbers today.
We all know which clip of Miko put us in the rabbit hole
I learned of Hololive super early on with Sora around the time Kizuna Ai was popping off. I distinctly remember Ai beating the crap out of a car street fighter style, but I didn’t fall down the Hololive rabbit hole until Coco came a long. After that I was on the Hololive hype train. Great to see how much Hololive and all the talents have grown.
I honestly don't remember who brought me in but I watch Korone and Pekora the most from Japan and Fauna the most from EN. Council debuted a few months after I fell down the hole
Mine it was Suisei. It's one of the clips when she talk about her family found out about her vtuber job. Now I'm using Aqua wake up call as my alarm😂. Onion is my Oshi
Definitely the 5 I would've expected, though not quite in the same order. Would not have been surprised to see Coco on the list either.
Korone because stuff like Snacks, Gurs got me in because I saw her playing DMC, and Fubuki? Well once you fall into the Kamen Rider rabbit hole a bit.... anything goes.
Nice clip, its weird they have been here for 3 years. That's a good list all of them are popular but it doesn't look like lot of people voted though, Gura with 45 votes and Pekora 29. Coco brought me in with ark and Asacoco then Holohouse with Kanata and Suisei. Its been over 2years since Coco left like Biboo didn't know what Asacoco was her chat had to tell her thats crazy to me! Time flys
Of course you wake up hearing that laugh ! it usually followed by an explosion, it's basic survival instinct !
Damn, I would've thought miko would be no. 1 or 2.
Fr Miko and Ko'one brought more people in than Gura
Cant really helped it theyre New fans that didnt see the early era of hololive
Gaw Gura brought in a huge ton of people into Hololive, she was the first one to reach 2 million subs and the only one to reach 4 million subs. While she doesn't get as many live viewers as Miko, the fact that she pulled in 4 million ppl into her channel means that she pulled in the most/2nd most ppl into Hololive.
@@spectrum9092 New fans? Korone's eekum bokum is almost 4 years old.
1.Miko
2.Matsuri
3.Korone
4.Fubuki
5.Coco
I wonder if they were thinking the gamer word when Miko was brought up, that clip got me and multiple friends into the rabbit hole
its Korone Mikochi and Peko for me
1st Hololive clip i saw was Rushia gushing over a Strider in Minecraft, it was really cute. But the reason i stayed was Miko's GTA Streams.. Her GTA Streams was Really Influential.
Korone's ekam bokan video was the first time I ever seen a vtuber.
Gura was the reason why i got drag into the rabbit hole.
