Kizuna AI, a Japanese virtual YouTuber who debuted in 2016, opens her videos with the greeting Hai Domo, short for a cheerful hello from a virtual YouTuber. The catchphrase became closely tied to her energetic persona and to the early VTuber boom, spreading through clips, fan edits and reaction videos as virtual creators grew in popularity. Because the greeting is brief, bright and instantly recognisable, creators still use it as a nostalgic anime intro and a quick signal of VTuber fandom in short-form content today.

The cheerful Hai Domo greeting from virtual YouTuber Kizuna AI, used as a cute anime intro sound effect for videos, streams, reaction clips and meme edits.
Kizuna AI's signature Hai Domo is a bright, high-pitched hello delivered in her cheerful virtual YouTuber voice, lasting just over a second. The phrase sounds playful and welcoming, with a lilting rise that feels like a friend popping into a stream to say hi. Because it is so short and instantly recognisable to anime and VTuber fans, it works as a quick burst of energy at the start of a clip, instantly setting a light, cute and upbeat mood. It does not carry a joke on its own, but it signals anime culture and fandom, making viewers smile and pay attention to whatever follows.
