Someone who doesn't want to show their face on stream so they instead use an animated anime character that "talks" whenever they talk. It's a smart alternative rather than not showing their face at all (as it attracts more viewers).
User A: You should check out Insert streamer here, she has this totally cute anime character on-screen that talks whenever she talks! It's so cute!
User B: Oooo, sounds like you found a Vtuber!
User A: Vtuber? Didn't know they had a name.

A Vtuber is someone who makes content based off of a 2d or a 3d fictional character. This character is usually an anime character but that's not always the case. Being a Vtuber is a smart way to hide your identity while still growing a platform.
