VShojo

VShojo is an American VTuber company founded by former Twitch employee Justin Ignacio and YouTuber Philip 'Mowtendoo' Fortunat, who were huge fans of the VTuber subculture. Its name being a pun on the Japanese word bishoujo, meaning "pretty girl", its goals were to help boost the careers of its members by providing support in terms of in-house tech, legal, PR, sponsors, upgrades, opportunities, social media expansion and a positive environment as well as allow them to have complete freedom. It was founded on November 24th, 2020.
==About==
Unlike most VTuber companies such as Hololive, Nijisanji and PRISM, VShojo usually hires VTubers that debuted independently. On the 24th of November 2020, five extremely popular Twitch VTubers, Nyanners, Silvervale, Ironmouse, Projekt Melody and Zentreya announced their partnerships with the company. Later in 2021 Hime Hajime, Froot and Veibae joined it.
==Collaborations==
VShojo is famous for hosting collaborations with the anime side of YouTube. Ironmouse is known to collaborate with CDawgVA in multiple videos and twitch streams - even though Connor has associated with other VTubers in the past, she is the one he has had the most collaborations with, often gaming and chatting with each other. At one point he even said he knew everything about herhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UtEkBaoabE. She has also been interviewed by AnthonyPadillahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObOBG0nHkB0 in his video "I spent a day with VTUBERS"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLh43_4jw60. Hajime is actually Sydsnap, and as the girlfriend of Gigguk, she has cameod in several of his videos. Hime Hajime and Froot also became famous for being part of Nux Taku's videoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv-XU84kyDw&t=61s, and he has professed his love for Projekt Melodyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44AfwKZttvI, who has reviewed hentai with Penguinz0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SPRpHHOuvE. Nux has also said that Ironmouse is a like a sibling to himhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrewq9pX9fU. Ironmouse, Silvervale and Projekt Melody host Lewdcast, a "Weekly Variety VTuber Podcast" where they talk about various topics, mostly related to VTubing, and invite guests to talk with them - some so far include Kano Shibuyahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYJKgkengj8, Takahata 101https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVSWgIrmiQQ and Merryweather Comicshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a__qPhL7Fh0.

==Controversy==
In November of 2021, the talents of VShojo were targeted by a doxxer/swatter, which caused law enforcement to get involvedhttps://www.reddit.com/r/VShojo/comments/r0skzw/official_vsj_cybersecurity_statement/.
Nux Taku found them, and made a video exposing themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Fx_zwsO1Y. This was despite the talents telling him not tohttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/835224931247194202/913461405288656896/FFBpGLqUYAU48IH.jpeghttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/FE8W8ITWQAAwmt2?format=jpg&name=large, out of fear that it would harm their safety even more and revealing the methods they used to catch him will just make it easier for others to learn how to get away with it. Eventually, Nux privatized the video but by then he had already been condemned by creators both in and outside of the VTuber community.
However Nux claimed that he had discussed the issue with upper management and they greenlighted his decision, with the official VShojo Twitter account even making a tweet thanking him for the videohttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFBACLZXIAEwCvL?format=jpg&name=medium. Nux also released a Twitlonger where he detailed his side of the storyhttps://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srsouvhttps://twitter.com/VTuberCringe/status/1463740660935184387.
