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.[1][2] She is based in London, England,[3] having originally moved there from Japan in the spring of 2011.[4] Her videos deal with topics like her love of Starbucks and her light-hearted perspective on the world.[5] 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.[6][7][8] Natalie Tran (Community Channel),[9][10][11] Jaiden Animations,[12][13] Lily Hevesh,[14] LetMeExplain Studios,[12][15] PewDiePie,[16] Marzia Kjellberg,[16] Domics,[16][17] Thomas Ridgewell (TomSka),[18][19] Shutter Authority,[20] and Sneaky Zebra.[21] She was nominated for the "Vlogger of the Year" award at the 11th Shorty Awards.[22]

In 2019, Yamato was featured in an episode of BBC Click[23][24] about virtual YouTubers.
