The social media account for a mysterious new indie Vtuber going by the name of Sameko Saba announced she’ll make her debut on June 28, 2025. A new, animated teaser video hinted at the character’s design and various motifs surrounding her. There’s a nautical, fish theme for the performer.
Here’s the tweet with a video that hints at the performer’s character design. The character seems to have long, blond hair in pigtails, with blue streaks at the front. One strand is pulled off to the side in a smaller side ponytail. She has light blue fingernail polish. She also seems to have cat ears and a fish tail. The final shot of her silhouette suggests a crab will appear as her mascot. It also shows that the character is rather short, due to her height compared to the doorframe.
The Sameko Saba teases first started in the middle of May 2025. A YouTube video called “saba / saba” showed up, then a tweet with a fish emoji that said, “Yoho!”
Here’s that first teaser:
That was followed by an animation of a beach with a lighthouse showed up at the start of June 2025. It again suggested a nautical theme for the performer.
A number of other notable indie Vtubers already started talking about Sameko Saba ahead of her debut. One of them is Dooby, who brought up the newcomer during a May 2025 DOOM stream. She’s also an indie performer who debuted back on October 19, 2024, and she’s appeared alongside Dokibird, Henya the Genius, Nimi Nightmare, and Mint Fantome. More recently, Nimi also mentioned Saba’s debut at the start of her Elden Ring stream on June 22, 2025. Other indies like Shylily also commented on the latest reveal.
New indie Vtuber Sameko Saba will debut on June 28, 2025, though an exact time hasn’t been set yet.
