Ami Yamato is a Japanese virtual vlogger. In her videos, she makes 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.

Yamato has collaborated with other YouTubers such as Captain Disillusion on a Back to the Future-themed video[7][8][9]. Natalie Tran (Community Channel)[10] [11][12], Jaiden Animations[13][14], Lily Hevesh[15], LetMeExplain Studios[13][16], PewDiePie[17], Marzia Kjellberg[17] Domics[17][18], Thomas Ridgewell (TomSka)[19][20], Shutter Authority[21], and Sneaky Zebra[22]. She was nominated for the "Vlogger of the Year" award at the 11th Shorty Awards.[23]

Ami was featured in an episode of BBC Click[24][25] about virtual YouTubers
