Some things are just too good to be true and so perfect that they’re almost unreal—kind of like virtual influencers.
They’re really here, but they’re not real.
Virtual influencers are fictional, computer-generated characters with an online presence. Typically, these personalities are designed to connect with audiences and influence their purchasing decisions.
With their stories being designed to perfection, they’re virtually capable of attAIning anything. And now, we’re going to stop with the puns and show you who the top 20 virtual influencers are.
Warning: Computer graphic content ahead (okay, now we’ll stop with the puns.)

This influencer from Tokyo who’s into fashion, art, and film is the first virtual human and model from Japan.

12. Lu do Magalu | @magazineluiza
Lu do Magalu’s 6.2 million followers are proof that there’s nothing stopping virtual influencers from owning the spotlight.

13. Janky | @janky
Janky is a part-time cartoon stuntman (probably the first of his kind ever) who continues to gain popularity for his eye-catching street fashion. This virtual influencer has become such an icon that he’s even become a character in the Fortnite game! Get it, Janky.
14. Noonoouri | @noonoouri
Oh what we’d give to be at least half as stylish as Noonoouri is.
In addition to working with the biggest fashion brands—such as Jacquemus, Dior, Off-White, and so much more—this virtual influencer never fails to advocate for important causes such as social good and sustainability.

Say “hola” to Mexico’s first virtual influencer, Maria!

16. Lechat | @lechat.vv
Lechat is a virtual influencer who’s just like us—she’s obsessed with K-Pop, K-Drama, and shopping.
On top of that, you’ll also enjoy watching her dance cover videos, where she always slays the choreography of the biggest hits!
17. Blu | @xanadublu
Roses are red; aliens are blue—and we’ll end our poem right there to introduce virtual influencer @xanadublu.
This alien—who’s blue, BTW—is out to build a DIY empire in the Metaverse, starting with his spaceship glow-up. From there, he plans to take over the whole galaxy because he thinks “everything is cooler when it’s blue.”
We must say that we love his ambition. But if you can’t rock the colour blue as a skin tone, then we highly suggest you start looking for a new galaxy to live in, stat.
18. Ailynn | @ai_ailynn
Hailing from Thailand, Ailynn is the country’s first Metaverse human!
A few scrolls through her feed, and you already know that this virtual influencer is one of your brand new sources of fashion inspiration. She’s totally the stylish best friend we’d love to go on a shopping spree and a food trip with—yup, she also recommends delicious food spots!
19. KAF | @virtual_kaf
With her cute and girly aesthetic, KAF’s been charming audiences since 2018. But there’s a twist, she’s known for her “sad girl” vibes and melancholy words that seem to be referring to a lost love.
Prepare to get all sentimental as you read her mysterious captions.
