Ami Yamato

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 produced a series of parodies called "Mash-Ins" where she edits herself into popular movies and TV shows, changing the narrative with a comical twist.
