This article is also available in Japanese: Read the Japanese version
Arya Kuroha is a streamer in VSPO! EN, the VTuber group VSPO!'s English-language project. Her name is written 黒刃アリヤ in Japanese, and she uses "Arya Kuroha" on YouTube and X. She streams mostly in English, and the game she plays, above all, is Apex Legends. In August 2026 she even announced an Apex tournament bearing her own name.
In this article, we lay out the agency's official profile and what can be traced from the videos still on her own channel. We do not fill in, by guesswork, anything that did not appear in the primary sources we checked.
Arya Kuroha's Profile: VSPO! Calls Her "really careful" and "totally dedicated"
Name: Arya Kuroha
Name in Japanese: 黒刃アリヤ
Affiliation: VSPO! (VSPO! EN)
Height: 163 cm
Birthday: September 22
X: @aryakuroha
VSPO!'s official member page has an entry for Arya Kuroha, listed under VSPO! EN. It gives her height as 163 cm and her birthday as September 22.
Her official profile opens with "In games, she’s a bold fragger who makes aggressive plays." A fragger is the player who leads the team into fights and goes for kills.
The next sentence turns the other way: "But she’s also really careful and totally dedicated once she sets her mind on something." Bold in matches, careful the rest of the time: it's quite an interesting combination.
It closes with "Her reward for a tough day? Potato chips and plenty of sleep." Her YouTube channel description says just two words: "Potato Chips". Potato chips linking her official profile and her channel description may just be a little playful touch.
Only the month and day of her birthday are public; her age is not given. We won't guess her age either.
VSPO! EN Launched in June 2024, and Three Members Debuted Together
VSPO! EN's launch was announced in a press release (in Japanese) issued by Brave group on June 24, 2024. According to the release, the project was started with the aim of taking VSPO!'s project vision beyond Japan to countries and regions around the world.
The members debuted one after another starting at 10:00 a.m. JST on June 30, 2024, and Arya was one of the three, alongside Remia Aotsuki and Jira Jisaki. The member profile in the same release is almost word for word the Japanese profile on the official site today. Her persona, it seems, was firmly in place even before she debuted.
Her debut stream was titled "Don't get too excited !!" and started at 10:40 a.m. JST on June 30, 2024. The description adds: "If I mess up, promise you won't say anything...?!" It's a glimpse of her careful side, a little different from the bold fragger in her profile.
As of September 25, 2026, this debut stream had more than 90,000 views, the highest figure among the videos we were able to retrieve. The video that VSPO!'s official member page places beside her profile is this debut stream, too. Her channel was created in April 2024, and as of September 25, 2026, it had about 101,000 subscribers.
Apex Legends at the Center of Her Streams: Apex in More Than Half of Her Titles
When we counted her uploads list by title on September 25, 2026, 304 of the 553 videos we could retrieve had "Apex" in the title. Judging by the start times and lengths, most of them are archived live streams. If you're new to her, starting with the VODs of a game you're curious about may be the quickest way in.
In January 2026, for example, all 18 videos she published had Apex in the title. The "fragger" in her profile, too, presumably refers first and foremost to the way she fights in Apex.
What stands out most are her streams aiming for Predator, the top rank. In July 2025 she published a highlight video titled "JOURNEY TO APEX PREDATOR RANK !" Its description reads: "This video is showcasing my highlights on the journey to the highest rank in Apex Legends, Apex Predator !!" In December 2025 came another video, "GETTING TOP 50 PREDATOR IN APEX LEGENDS !" The way she keeps at it seems to fit her official profile's "totally dedicated once she sets her mind on something" to a T.
She plays in tournaments, too. According to her own description, "I WON AN APEX LEGENDS TOURNAMENT !" from October 2024 is "about my first experience playing in an Apex Legends tournament !!"
Outside Apex, there was also a stretch of Minecraft streams: in April 2026, 12 of 25 videos had titles tagged MINECRAFT. So it isn't all Apex; there seem to be periods when she settles into other games, too.
Collabs with JP Members: From a Drawing Game to a Dead by Daylight Tournament
Her streams with VSPO! JP members are on record as well. The August 31, 2024, stream "VSPO JPxEN COLLAB !" had EN and JP members playing the drawing-telephone game Gartic Phone together.
On the JP side, the description lists the accounts of Tsumugi Kokage, Sendo Yuuhi, Yumeno Akari, Yano Kuromu, and Hanabusa Lisa, among others. Arya herself wrote "I CANT DRAW !!" in the description. Even without a shared language, everyone can laugh over the drawings—a nice match.
On October 31, 2025, she streamed "VSPO! EN x JP TOURNAMENT !", a Dead by Daylight tournament, with Amayui Moka among the names on the JP side. An EN-versus-JP event like this was probably something fresh for viewers, too.
In August 2024 she also streamed a watch party for the Apex tournament V最協 (VSaikyo) Season 6. Its description links to Kaminari Qpi's stream under the label "Qpi-senpai's POV". Her channel also has Apex streams from May 2025 and July 2026 with 「ぶいすぽGG」 ("VSPO!GG") in their titles. You can see EN and JP members crossing back and forth through games.
Does She Speak Japanese? What We Could Confirm
Some readers may wonder whether she speaks Japanese. The audio-language setting YouTube stores for her videos was English for almost all of them.
In July 2024, she streamed "Learn Japanese With Photography", a game for learning Japanese. In November 2025 there was also a YouTube Short titled "Teaching Toxic NA Apex Comms to JP…" That said, we have not watched what is in these videos, and how much Japanese she can speak could not be determined from the sources we checked.
Sticking to what is known: the announcement of the tournament described below was posted on her X in two versions, English and Japanese. Perhaps that was so it would reach fans in Japan, too.
KUROHA × INZONE INVITATIONAL: A Tournament Under Her Own Name
On August 2, 2026, an announcement of KUROHA × INZONE INVITATIONAL was posted on her X (@aryakuroha). Her English post describes it as "a unique Apex Legends tournament bringing together two amazing regions". Scrims (practice matches) were set for August 6 and the tournament itself for August 9, both at 11:00 a.m. JST. INZONE is Sony's gaming-gear brand, and the stream description also links to an INZONE product page.
As of September 25, 2026, the tournament stream had more than 60,000 views, the most among videos published in 2026. What "two regions" refers to was not stated in the parts of the announcement we could read.
About two years after her debut, she had gone from playing in tournaments to also announcing one under her own name, which it seems fair to call a major milestone.
Most recently, on September 22, 2026, she held a chatting stream called "SURPRISE !! I'M BACK !!", followed by a birthday stream the next day, the 23rd. Since only YouTube Shorts had followed her chatting stream on September 4, a birthday so soon after her return was probably a welcome bit of timing for fans, too.
For the latest, check her X (@aryakuroha) and her YouTube channel. The channel's links section also points to Twitch.
