Ironmouse Departs VShojo Amid Charity Fund Controversy
Hey everyone, so I wanted to take a moment to talk about something that’s been stirring up the VTuber community recently—something really important involving one of its biggest stars, Ironmouse. As many of you may have heard, Ironmouse has officially announced her departure from VShojo, the talent agency she helped build from the ground up. This isn’t just about a contract ending or creative differences—it’s a much deeper and more troubling situation.
In a heartfelt video statement shared on YouTube, Ironmouse explained that she made the difficult decision to leave VShojo due to financial disputes, particularly involving charity funds that were never delivered. And we’re not talking about small change here—according to her, the Immune Deficiency Foundation, a cause that means everything to her, is still owed over $500,000 from a previous fundraising effort. That’s not just a missed payment—that’s a broken promise.

For those who don’t know, Ironmouse lives with a rare condition called Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), and this foundation has played a vital role in her life. So when she partnered with fellow creator Connor “CDawgVA” Colquhoun to raise money through subathons, it wasn’t just a gesture—it was personal. The two raised more than $4 million over the years, with Ironmouse trusting VShojo to handle the transactions on her behalf due to privacy concerns.
The most recent subathon brought in an incredible $515,000 , but here we are nearly a year later, and the funds still haven’t reached the foundation. Legally, she can’t say much more right now due to advice from her attorney, but she did mention that all the revenue from her announcement video will go directly to the charity. She’s also planning another live fundraising stream later this month to help make up the difference.
What's even more heartbreaking is that she described feeling emotionally manipulated—like she carried the weight of the entire company’s success on her shoulders. It’s evident that this wasn’t just a professional breakup—it was personal and painful. She’s clearly hurt and disappointed, but also determined to continue streaming independently and do right by her community and the cause she cares so deeply about.
The VTuber world has responded with overwhelming support. Big names like Zentreya, Bao the Whale, Shylily, and many others have publicly stood by her, showing just how impactful her presence is in the space. And it's not just fans who are shaken by this—VShojo has seen a string of departures recently, including founding member Zentreya and others like Matara Kan and GEEGA.
So, what does this mean for VShojo moving forward? That’s a big question. But one thing is clear: Ironmouse isn’t backing down. She's continuing to advocate for a cause that saved her life, and she’s proving that being independent doesn’t mean being alone—not when you have a community that believes in you and what you stand for.
Stay tuned for updates as things unfold, and if you can, consider supporting the Immune Deficiency Foundation. No matter what happens next, Ironmouse is showing us all what true strength and integrity look like.
