Ami Yamato is a Japanese virtual YouTube vlogger. In her videos, she vlogs from the perspective of a 3D-animated character who does not seem to realize that she is animated.[2][3] She is based in London, England,[4] having originally moved there from Japan in the spring of 2011.[5] Her videos deal with topics like her love of Starbucks and her light-hearted perspective on the world.[6] She has collaborated with Captain Disillusion on a Back to the Future-themed video.[7] In 2019, she was nominated for the "Vlogger of the Year" award at the 11th Shorty Awards.[8]
