Who is Saiko?
Saiko is a VTuber who streams horror games on Twitch as a ghost, with about 148,000 followers as of October 2026. She is a member of the six-person VTuber group Vaifu and also posts videos on a YouTube channel called Saiko Games.
Her Twitch bio introduces her as a spooky ghost who plays too many horror games and sometimes goes on IRL paranormal investigations, "while being a ghost." She started out as an IRL streamer with a face camera, switched to a VTuber model in 2024 as a killer clown, and swapped that model for a ghost in September 2026.
How did Saiko get into streaming?
Saiko streamed on Twitch as a regular IRL streamer before she was a VTuber. In an August 2025 post on X she said she had been at 146,000 Twitch followers before she committed to VTubing full time in 2024.
The switch cost her. In the same post she says she lost 75 percent of her income and 75 percent of her community, more than 5,000 followers, and that viewership was cut in half. Some viewers sent her long messages saying she was wrong to stop showing her face. She wrote that she nearly went back to being what she called a fleshtuber, but kept going because VTubing made her happy.
On August 14, 2025, she posted that she had climbed back to 146,000 followers, the exact number she had before the switch. She signed that post as a psychotic clown girl, which was the character she was playing at the time.
From killer clown to ghost
The first VTuber model was a killer clown. Her Linktree still carries the tagline "Your favorite Killer Clown Vtuber," and the Saiko Games YouTube channel was built around horror games, survival games and what she calls friendslop and rage-baiting games.
On August 24, 2026, a pinned post on X introduced the replacement: a spooky ghost who haunts the halls looking for memories and other little ghosties to join her adventures. Her Twitch stream titles counted down to a new model debut on September 4.
The debut stream was a subathon. Day 1 ran 14 hours and 33 minutes under the title 2.0 Model Debut Happening Now, and Day 2 through Day 4 followed. A debut lore video and a one-hour debut upload went up on YouTube in September, and her Twitch panels now describe the channel as a ghost who sometimes investigates paranormal places while being a ghost.
What does Saiko stream now?
Her recent Twitch titles are mostly horror, most of them marathon length. October 2026 started with an October of Horror stream, and the month's titles include SCP and creepypasta story days, Silent Hill: Townfall, and a game where she owns a graveyard. In September she played a horror version of Stardew Valley and reviewed Halloween candy.
A typical week has her live Wednesday through Sunday at 8 p.m. Central, according to the descriptions on her YouTube uploads. The Saiko Games channel lists about 11,400 subscribers and 316 videos. Recent uploads include a blindfolded run of the Hellraiser: Revival demo and a plant shop night-shift game.
Her Twitch titles also keep returning to a recurring Saiko Size Sunday stream. In August she streamed Elden Ring's DLC for the first time and chasing a platinum trophy in Dead by Daylight as The Ghoul.
Saiko and Vaifu
Saiko is one of six members of Vaifu, a VTuber group whose pinned post from July 2026 lists her alongside Vikifye, Lidia, Kinaiya, Ketzy and Elara. The group describes itself as bringing collabs, special events and chaos.
Her Twitch titles reflect it. One September stream was a spooky game night with fellow Vaifu member Lidia, and she has repeatedly streamed with the streamer Icy Rayne, including a Grounded 2 session before the debut and a Saiko Size Sunday.
