To show you the ins and outs of Japanese anime, Netflix has created its first ever anime ambassador, N-ko Mei Kurono. N-ko isn’t your average anime enthusiast – she’s a VTuber (that’s ‘virtual YouTuber’, in case you’re wondering) voiced by a Netflix employee whose job involves liaising with international offices to improve the quality of anime content on the platform.
In her first YouTube video, N-ko introduces herself as a sheep-human lifeform who was born in California on August 27 1997, which coincides with Netflix’s founding. Because she was raised in California, N-ko is bilingual and she even takes a moment halfway through the video to introduce herself in English.
