Morino Kodoku the schizophrenic vtuber has, well, schizophrenia conditions. Got diagnosed at 16, taking 2 years to overcome, she realized the importance of guidance and sharing experience in helping others, especially young people, to also overcome schizophrenia. And guess what? A lot of young people watch Vtubers, so she became one herself in 2021 at age 19.
Most of her content revolves around this topic, citing and going into crucial information about the conditions from a mostly medical approach, while keeping it easily understood by people with no relevant background. She has successfully crowdfunded to build a virtual space called “Mori no Heya” (forest room) where people with schizophrenia can meet her and other people with the same conditions, or her members.
Since debut, she’s been featured in countless interviews, articles, programs as one of the flagship vtubers in medical topics. Humble viewership, yet a giant heart and unbreakable will.
Fun fact: The Vtubers she watches the most are Kizuna Ai, HimeHina, Triambly and Virtual Witch Performance.
Even if you aren’t interested in the main topic of schizophrenia, I still recommend her zatsus. QnA and drawing streams. She’s grown from a patient to someone who talks to help other patients, after all, she’s good at it.
