Who is Houshou Marine?

Houshou Marine is a Japanese virtual entertainer affiliated with Hololive Production. She debuted on August 11, 2019 as a member of Hololive's third generation, hololive Fantasy, and presents herself as the pirate captain of the Houshou Pirates.

Her character is designed around a playful, seductive pirate motif: she frequently talks about jewels, treasure, and buying a real pirate ship while describing herself with a big sister charm and cheeky humor. Hololive’s official talent profile describes her as charismatic, energetic, and flirtatious while keeping a light, comedic tone.

The character illustration and visual identity were created by illustrator Akasa Ai. Houshou Marine performs across Hololive-supported platforms and is known for livestreaming, singing, and variety content.

Content Type & Format

Houshou Marine's content centers on livestreams and long-form videos on YouTube, where she hosts chat shows, game playthroughs, karaoke sessions, and collaborative streams with other VTubers. She also posts short-form clips and highlights that emphasize punchlines, reactions, and catchy musical moments.

Singing is a major part of Houshou Marine's output: she performs covers, participates in group idol songs, and releases music tied to Hololive projects. Music content appears as full-length uploads, music videos, and digital singles distributed on streaming platforms.

Beyond music and gaming, Houshou Marine creates drawing streams, MMD and animated music video appearances, and light ASMR or variety segments. Houshou Marine's personality—fast-talking, playful, and teasing—shapes her social tone across YouTube, TikTok, X, and Hololive’s official channels.
