American YouTube Manga Girl

How fame has its fickle way on the internet never ceases to amaze me. Here is Magibon, an American You Tube idol who spends her time making YouTube videos of herself staring blankly into the camera, babbling elementary Japanese, and striking cutesy poses.

It seems she’s now becoming wildly popular in Japan after Japanese online publication JCast wrote an article about her and a Japanese broadcasting company called Gyao invited her to be a guest on one of their shows.

I guess if you’re first to market, you can make a name just by staring at the camera..
