In October 2021, Ironmouse and Veibae were listed, for the first time, among the top 10 female streamers on Twitch based on hours watched. On February 15, 2022, Ironmouse passed one million followers and 75,000 subscribers on Twitch, making her Twitch's most-subscribed female streamer. On February 20, 2022, Ironmouse's Twitch subscription count surpassed 93,000 making her, at the time, the streamer with the most active Twitch subscriptions.

In March 2022, VShojo raised $11 million in a funding round led by Anthos Capital, with goals to expand its focus on working with anime and gaming conventions on content and appearances by its talent, Ignacio's "IRL Backpack" project for mobile video streaming, and a collaboration with the mental health group Rise Above the Disorder.

In July 2022 at Anime Expo, the company announced a new Japanese division, with its inaugural members including independent streamer Kson, and Nazuna.

On April 26, 2023 VShojo announced via Twitter that Silvervale and Veibae would not be renewing their contracts, with Nyanners following on April 30. A new VTuber for VShojo Japan, Henya the Genius, debuted on May 13, 2023. VShojo's first male VTuber, Kuro Kurenai, debuted on September 30. Another new VTuber for VShojo, Matara Kan, debuted just over two weeks later.
