What Makes Vtuber Ironmouse Left VShojo Agency? Here's the Detail!

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Popular VTuber Ironmouse shockingly announced her departure from VShojo, the English-language VTuber agency he co-founded, on July 21, 2025.

The decision was effective immediately and announced via an 11-minute YouTube video that caused a stir in the global VTuber community.

The announcement came amidst a string of other VShojo member departures, but Ironmouse's case highlighted allegations of serious financial problems.

So, what exactly happened between the agency and the vtuber recently? Here are the complete details.

Ironmouse, widely known for his charitable fundraising efforts, accused VShojo of withholding substantial funds that were rightfully her.

The most significant allegation was that the agency had not disbursed more than $500,000 raised from a 2023 subathon for the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF).

This situation was particularly sensitive given that Ironmouse herself was diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), an immune disorder, making IDF a foundation of great significance to her.

Ironmouse's departure from VShojo has sparked a wave of support from fans and fellow creators, while also raising significant questions about the agency's management practices.

Ironmouse's lawyer has advised against further comment on the matter, suggesting legal action may be pursued.

VShojo has yet to officially respond to the allegations and the departure of its co-founder.

Ironmouse was one of the founding members of VShojo, which was announced in November 2020.

The agency was founded with the goal of providing a platform for English-speaking VTubers, and Ironmouse became a key pillar, with its popularity steadily growing.

In 2023, Ironmouse successfully held a successful subathon, raising over $515,000 for the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF).

However, as mid-2025 approached, a series of member departures began to occur within VShojo.

Matara Kan departed on May 5th, followed by GEEGA, who terminated her contract on June 27th, and Zentreya, another founding member, announced her departure effective July 11th.

While their departures were not met with public criticism, Zentreya hinted at unresolved internal issues within the agency.

The culmination of this wave of departures was Ironmouse's announcement on July 21, 2025.

In her  statement, Ironmouse accused VShojo of withholding her personal funds and, more crucially, over $500,000 in charitable funds for the IDF raised the previous year.

She also indicated an attempt at emotional manipulation by VShojo to keep her, claiming that her departure would hurt her friends.

Ironmouse stated that she had been misled by VShojo over the past several months regarding these financial matters.

Following the announcement of her departure, Ironmouse is now operating as an independent VTuber.

Unlike some other VTuber agencies, such as Hololive, VShojo has a policy that allows talents to retain their avatars and branding after leaving.

This ensures that Ironmouse can maintain the persona and identity that fans have become familiar with.

Community support for Ironmouse has been overwhelming.

Within hours of his announcement, fans and fellow creators spontaneously raised over $125,000 for the IDF, demonstrating a strong sense of solidarity.

This demonstrates that the VTuber community can unite for a good cause, even amidst controversy.

Ironmouse herself has revealed plans to hold another special charity livestream in July to raise more funds for the IDF.

She has also committed to donating all ad revenue from her announcement video to the foundation.

These steps demonstrate his unwavering dedication to the IDF, an organization closely associated with her health.

As of this writing, VShojo has not yet issued an official response to the allegations and Ironmouse's departure.
