Tokino Sora (ときのそら) is a Japanese virtual YouTuber. She began her activities on 7 September 2017 as the founding member of Hololive Production. Because she debuted before Hololive was officially formed, she is considered a member of the "0th generation" alongside Roboco, Sakura Miko, Hoshimachi Suisei, and AZKi. She signed a record deal with Victor Entertainment in March 2019.^[2]

Overview

Tokino Sora began her affiliation with Cover Corporation before the concept of Hololive existed.^[3] In 2017, the concept of a virtual Youtuber was still largely untested, with the only examples of precedent being Kizuna AI who started posted pre-recorded videos in late 2016. Virtual live streaming had been showcased by Cover Corporation in a March 2017 tech demo, but was still under development and had not yet been implemented on a large scale.^[4]

On 7 September 2017, Tokino Sora held her first livestream, and thus began her activities as a virtual idol. Her initial livestream on Niconico was alleged to have 13 viewers.^[5]
