"VCHIBAN VCHIBAN VCHIBAN VCHIBAN!"
One of the more unique subsets of the Virtual YouTuber community, VchiBan is a "found family" VTuber group (not an agency) that was formed in 2023 by four creators: Buffpup and Shiabun from the US, Rosedoodle from Canada, and AiCandii from Australia. Born out of a shared desire to do more within the VTuber space while remaining more or less independent, VchiBan's style of content embodies that sense of camaraderie between its members, while also embodying the... less than prudish side of the community.The group's website can be found here
. In November 2023, the group announced and released a game that they had developed, titled Meet Your Oshi. Their second game, Gooba Ball, was released on May 28, 2024. Their third game, Stardust Skate, was announced on March 7, 2025, and released on March 21.
In December 2024, the group launched the first episode of its podcast, "VchiBanter", which can be found on their joint YouTube channel.
Tropes pertaining to VchiBan include:
- April Fools' Day: Stardust Skate received an update on this day, adding each member's channel mascot as unlockable skaters.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Buff is orange, Candii is purple, Rose is green, and Shia is pink.
- Double Entendre: One of the places in Stardust Valley (and Buffpup's starting area in Stardust Skate) is called "Mourning Wood".
- Fantasy Kitchen Sink: A weredog, a bunnyman, a cat sprout, and the Token Human.
- Hidden Depths: Buff, Candii, and Rose are gifted artists, and Shia is an experienced programmer - talents that get put on full display in Meet Your Oshi.
- Lovable Sex Maniac: All of them, to varying degrees. Their horniness can often rival that of the Bikini Bottoms (Bao the Whale, Akuma Nihmune, and Shylily) and even Projekt Melody.
- Retraux: Stardust Skate opts for a PSX-inspired art direction.
- Shout-Out: All four of them are fans of Five Nights at Freddy's, so it's natural their game Meet Your Oshi takes clear influence from it with animatronic versions of themselves.
- True Companions: Perhaps the truest you’ll find in all of VTubing.
- You All Meet in an Inn: The group's website describes their first meeting in-lore as a chance encounter in a Stardust City café.
