Hololive Production (Japanese: ホロライブプロダクション, Hepburn: Hororaibu purodakushon) (Japanese pronunciation: [hoɾoɾaibɯ pɯɾodakɯ̥ɕoɴ]; stylized in lowercase) is a virtual YouTuber agency owned by Japanese tech entertainment company Cover Corporation. In addition to acting as a multi-channel network, Hololive Production also handles licensing, merchandising, music production and concert organization. As of May 2025, the agency manages 88 active VTubers in three target languages (Japanese, Indonesian and English), totaling over 80 million subscribers, including several of the most subscribed VTubers on YouTube and some of the most watched female streamers in the world.
The name "Hololive" was initially used for Cover's 3D stream distribution app, launched in December 2017, and later its female VTuber agency, whose first generation debuted from May to June 2018. In December 2019, Hololive was merged with Cover's male Holostars agency and INoNaKa music label under the unified "Hololive Production" brand.
