VTuber Ironmouse is known for her fun persona and Twitch success, but now she’s in the middle of a huge controversy. After leaving VShojo, she accused the group of holding back over $500,000 meant for charity. Here’s who she is, her story, and why fans are rallying behind her.
Ironmouse has been a bright star in the VTuber world, known for her playful demon girl avatar, high-pitched voice, and impressive Twitch streams. But now, she’s caught in a messy controversy. After leaving VTuber agency VShojo, she accused them of hiding charity funds, leaving fans shocked and concerned.

Ironmouse’s VShojo controversy


In July 2025, Ironmouse left VShojo, a VTuber agency she helped found. She later revealed she was owed a significant amount of money and that VShojo failed to send over $500,000 in donations raised for the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF).


In a YouTube video, Ironmouse expressed frustration, saying she couldn’t share full details due to legal reasons. However, she promised to speak freely once she could. Her claims sparked widespread discussion, especially since she trusted VShojo to handle funds from her record-breaking subathons, where she raised millions for charity alongside streamer CDawgVA.

Why her face is still a mystery


Ironmouse has always kept her real face and name private, a rare thing even among VTubers. For her, privacy is also about protecting her health. Her audience knows her only through her character and voice, but this hasn’t stopped her from becoming a Twitch sensation.


She holds the record for being the most subscribed female streamer, even briefly surpassing Kai Cenat during a 2024 subathon. Alongside streaming, she’s raised awareness for CVID, earned awards like the Plasma Hero Award, and even released music, including her 2024 song Carry On to support IDF campaigns.

More VTubers leave VShojo


Ironmouse’s departure wasn’t the only one this year. Multiple VTubers exited VShojo, raising questions about the agency’s management. Names like Matara Kan, GEEGA, and Zentreya, one of VShojo’s founders, also left.


While most didn’t speak openly against the agency, Zentreya hinted at deeper, unsolved problems within VShojo. The timing of these exits has led fans to suspect internal conflicts and financial mishandling may have pushed creators away.

Who is Ironmouse and why is she famous?


Ironmouse is a Puerto Rican VTuber who started streaming in 2017. She lives with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), a condition that keeps her indoors on oxygen support. Her health struggles led her to the virtual world, where she could perform and connect while staying safe.


She first dreamed of becoming an opera singer, but her illness made her choose a new creative path. Inspired by early VTuber icons, she created her vibrant demon girl character with pink and purple hair. Over time, she gained 2.3 million followers on Twitch and became one of the most watched female streamers on the platform.

What’s next for Ironmouse?


Despite the controversy, Ironmouse remains determined. She announced that all earnings from her latest video will go to the IDF, showing her continued commitment to the cause. She also teased plans for a charity stream later this month.


Fans are eagerly waiting to hear more from her side, hoping she’ll soon be free to share everything she knows about what happened behind VShojo’s doors.
