佐保里(SAO)Is The Internet’s New Sweetheart

And she knows it.

POSTED BY ZOE TYLER

Tokyo-based @kawausosuki0513 (real name Saori) though she says she goes by SAO, is serving up serious Gen Z main character energy across platforms like X, Threads, Instagram, and possibly YouTube. She blends anime fandom (SAO, H×H), wholesome slice-of-life vlogging, and viral-level charisma into a kind of digital “girlfriend experience” that East Asian fanbases can’t get enough of. One post with just hit 64 million views. Another earned 200K likes just for being relatable. Her vibe is soft, self-aware, and constantly online, with content spanning basketball games, Sony ZV camera vlogs, and the kind of candid selfies that get reposted on meme boards like Disp BBS.

She’s got the recipe down: a little anime-coded charm, short-hair softness, pink baseball uniforms, and ramen in Hokkaido. While she hasn’t publicly linked a YouTube channel yet, she teased it with “I’m scared people might be disappointed when they see how I actually move on YouTube haha,” suggesting we’re getting more than just stills soon. And though her content isn’t music-focused, her fan-centric universe might still overlap with your world, one heart emoji at a time.
