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]

In 2019, Yamato was featured in an episode of BBC Click [24] [25] about virtual YouTubers.
