The Anime Expo 2026 (AX 2026) is the largest anime and Japanese pop-culture convention in North America. The event will take place July 2 to 5, 2026, at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California. VTubers are often associated with Anime and have become a significant part of the community, mainly because their personas and avatars have roots in Japanese animation.
This time around, these Hololive-related VTubers are expected to be visiting the Anime Expo, considering Hololive English’s 4th concert, “Serendipity,” will take place on July 3 to 4, 2026, in Los Angeles, featuring the following:
- Mori Calliope
- Ninomae Ina’nis
- Fuwawa Abyssgard
- Mococo Abyssgard
Mori Calliope is one of the biggest English-speaking VTubers, with millions of subscribers and multiple charting music releases. Ninomae, who is considered a bit more mellow in personality, is recognized for being a trained illustrator.
From Ironmouse‘s camp, she, along with a few other prominent VTubers, will be at the Arcade M&G Booth. Here’s the full list coming to Anime Expo 2026:
- Ironmouse
- Arielle
- VchiBan
- Michi Mochievee
- Bubi
Notably, VchiBan is a VTuber collective featuring Buff, Shia, Roose, and Candii. The group is known for comedy-heavy collaborations, events, and convention appearances.
