Quick Facts about Ironmouse: VShojo Controversy Explained and Has She Done a Face Reveal?

Popular VTuber Ironmouse remains one of the most recognised figures in the Twitch community, yet her face and real name stay hidden. Her departure from VShojo in July 2025 has added another chapter to her story, amidst allegations of unpaid funds and organisational mismanagement.

But just what do we know about her, and what happened with VShojo that caused her to leave?

Who is Ironmouse?

Ironmouse is a Puerto Rican VTuber, singer, and Twitch streamer. She began her online career in 2017, driven by her diagnosis of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), which has left her largely confined to her home and reliant on oxygen support. Originally aiming to become an opera singer, her illness prevented her from pursuing that path. Inspired by Kizuna AI, the first Virtual YouTuber, she adopted an animated avatar to protect her identity.

Her avatar depicts a horned demon with pink and purple hair, a character she describes as a 'bigger version' of herself; almost like a superhero costume. Ironmouse's voice is high-pitched due to her health condition, surprising some viewers who initially thought she used a voice changer. Her unique persona and engaging streams have earned her over 2.3 million followers on Twitch, making her one of the most-watched female streamers globally.

Has Ironmouse Done a Face Reveal?

Despite her fame, Ironmouse has not publicly shown her face - something that most in the Twitch community has kept sacred. She has consistently kept her real identity private, citing health and personal safety reasons. Her voice, while distinctive, is her own and not altered, but her face remains unseen in all her content and appearances.

Over the years, there have been unverified rumours and speculation about her appearance, but Ironmouse has not confirmed or shown her face on camera. Her choice to remain anonymous is part of her persona's appeal and her focus on her health advocacy. As of now, she continues to operate as a fully virtual character, with no indication she plans to reveal her face in the future.

Her Rise and Achievements

Ironmouse's popularity surged in 2024 when she became the most-subscribed Twitch streamer at the time, surpassing Kai Cenat during a September subathon. She briefly held that record until Cenat reclaimed it in November 2024. Her streamathons, including a notable 31-day event in early 2022, raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity, particularly supporting the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF). In 2023, she was recognised as Best VTuber at The Streamer Awards, a notable accolade in her field.

Her influence extends beyond streaming. Ironmouse has been active in raising awareness about CVID and plasma donation, often using her platform to encourage donations and educate people about immune disorders. Her efforts earned her the Plasma Hero Award at the 2024 PI Conference. She also released a single titled Carry On in June 2024, supporting the IDF's educational initiatives.

The VShojo Controversy

On 21 July 2025, Ironmouse announced her departure from VShojo, the organisation she helped co-found in 2020. Her statement cited unpaid earnings and the organisation's failure to transfer over $500,000 in charitable donations to the IDF.

She claimed that VShojo owed her a significant sum for her work, and her lawyers advised her to wait before commenting further. Unlike other VTuber agencies such as Hololive, Vshojo allows talents to keep their avatars and brand after departure, so Ironmouse retains her persona as an independent VTuber.

Her departure marks the latest in a series of exits from VShojo, with other members leaving over recent months. The organisation's current roster includes VTubers like Kson, Henya the Genius, and co-founder Projekt Melody, but it remains silent on Ironmouse's accusations.

Social media reactions from fans and fellow creators have shown support for her, highlighting the ongoing uncertainty around the organisation's internal affairs. 'I'm so sorry the people you trusted let you down so badly, Ironmouse. It's genuinely disgraceful and VShojo really do have an awful lot to answer for. This isn't a situation you should have to go through. You've got our full support. '
