Kuro, the new Vtuber with VShojo, noted that part of what got him started with the company was Ironmouse and CEO Justin “Gunrun” Ignacio helping him with his tax issues. He mentioned considering doing his own thing, but reached out to associates for assistance when he was about $350,000 in debt due to taxes. Because of Ironmouse reaching out, that led to him eventually becoming the first male Vtuber with the company. [Thanks, LIR Clips!]
This came up during Kuro’s debut stream. He noted that Ironmouse was the first to respond, even though the two of them weren’t close. He noted that resulted in him getting in touch with Gunrun, who is the CEO of VShojo. He said Gunrun worked with him for “like four five months” to ensure he was okay and making progress.
Ironmouse also commented, which Kuro read on-stream at the 1:14 mark of the clip below, and said, “I’ll never forget the day. I knew I couldn’t sleep if I didn’t get you help.” Kuro then described Ironmouse’s assistance as “a chain of events.” Kuro also repeatedly said that both Ironmouse and Gunrun said they had his back, and continually showed they did both during and after it was over.
Kuro officially joined VShojo as its first male Vtuber on September 30, 2023. He says he’ll try to stream every day at 9am UTC.
