As of Nov 12, 2026, the most-subscribed YouTube channel in Japan is PewDiePie with 109 million subscribers, followed by ISSEI / いっせい (75.6M) and Pokémon Kids TV (46.9M).
Why are the subscriber counts rounded?
YouTube only publishes rounded subscriber counts: three significant figures above 1,000, so 12,345 shows as 12.3K. We show exactly what YouTube publishes. Channels with the same rounded count are ordered by total views.
How do you know a channel is from Japan?
It’s the country the channel sets on YouTube itself. Channels with no country set appear only in the overall and category rankings.
How often is this list updated?
Channel counts are refreshed every 6 hours, and this list is rebuilt from them every hour. Each channel’s own page shows its live count and history.
Why is a channel missing?
We find channels on YouTube’s trending charts in 14 countries and on Wikipedia’s most-subscribed lists. A channel that never charted can be missing: look it up below to see its live count.
