Full Profile
In this profile
Yuniiho, also known as Yuni or Yuyu, is an Italian illustrator and former VTuber whose pink dog character connected drawing, character design and a playful enthusiasm for pesto. Her work belongs to two overlapping histories: the broadcasts that brought viewers into her creative process, and the illustrations and VTuber models collected in her portfolio. Her Yuniiho VTuber activities ended on March 10, 2024; the remaining videos and artwork offer a way to explore that period.
An illustrator behind the pink dog
Yuniiho's own Carrd introduction identifies her as a freelance artist from Italy and uses both Yuni and Yuyu. Her artist membership page describes a self-taught illustrator and 2D model artist with an interest in manga-style characters. Drawing was therefore more than an occasional activity alongside gaming: it was a craft she also practised professionally.
That background gives her broadcasts a different point of entry from a channel built primarily around game highlights. Viewers could encounter an artist working on character images, discussing creative decisions and sharing the process with an audience. Her membership description also explains an illustration feedback format involving a monthly draw-over, placing teaching and artistic discussion alongside the finished pictures. The page is marked as being on hiatus, so its descriptions of rewards should be read as a record of that offering, not as an assurance that mentoring or commissions are available today.
From character illustration to VTuber models
Her ArtStation portfolio includes a dedicated VTuber Models collection, with work labelled for Zentreya, AdmiralBahroo, Bunny_Gif and other creators. It shows how her illustration practice extended into characters made to appear on livestreams.
The individual Zentreya project and Yuniiho character project provide useful starting points for that side of her work. They also illustrate a broader feature of VTubing: an artist may contribute to other creators' appearances while performing through a character of her own.
For readers exploring how those roles fit together, our guide to VTuber content formats distinguishes the performed character from the artwork, animation and programmes surrounding it. Yuniiho is an example of a creator whose audience-facing identity and behind-the-scenes art practice are both important to understanding her career.
Yuni, Hotto Doggo and the Pesties
The HoloList profile records names including Yuni, Yuyu and Hotto Doggo, along with the fan name Pesties. Its description connects her pink dog presentation with drawing streams and her recurring pesto theme. The short phrase “Pesto is Besto” also appears in her own YouTube channel description.
These names make older clips and fan illustrations easier to recognise: Yuyu is another name for Yuniiho, while Pesties refers to her community. The food joke and dog character gave viewers a shared vocabulary that carried between the art, conversation and playful presentation of the streams.
CYBERCITY and the visual world around a stream
The October 28, 2023 video CYBERCITY — Yuniiho Intro is a concise way to encounter the channel's presentation. Its description identifies the piece as a Twitch starting-soon screen and credits Furu for the art and Maritumi for the music.
CYBERCITY makes the collaborative nature of a VTuber broadcast visible: the performer, commissioned artwork and soundtrack all contribute to the same on-screen identity. For a new viewer, the intro offers a different perspective from a long recording of a drawing session, focusing attention on the setting and atmosphere that welcomed the audience into a stream.
Debut, retirement and how to read the archive
HoloList dates her VTuber debut to October 7, 2020 and lists March 10, 2024 as her retirement date. Those dates frame the Yuniiho activity period described here. Her artist pages, portfolio and videos can remain accessible after that period; their continued presence does not make an old streaming timetable current.
The archive brings together several parts of that career. The character projects show her illustration practice, the starting-soon video preserves the broadcast's presentation, and the membership description records how she shared drawing knowledge with supporters. Each offers a different view of the connection between her art and her audience.
Where to begin with her work
For character art, begin with the model collection and its individual project pages. For the tone and visual presentation of the Yuniiho channel, start with CYBERCITY and then explore the videos retained on her official YouTube channel. The Carrd links are useful for recognising her own accounts when an older clip uses Yuni or Yuyu instead of the full channel name.
Her legacy within this archive is the combination of illustrator and virtual performer: a recognisable pink dog character, an art-centred community and model work extending beyond her own broadcasts. Those connections explain why readers may encounter Yuniiho through another creator's appearance as readily as through a clip from her own channel.
