The Rapidly Growing VTuber Market Both Domestically and Internationally
The VTuber market is rapidly growing both domestically and internationally, and it is expected to reach 17.4 billion USD by 2028.
In this fast-growing market, businesses and individuals can use VTubers to create new connections with younger audiences.
By leveraging platforms like YouTube and SNS, VTubers enable real-time interaction with fans, contributing to increased brand awareness and sales.
The reach to teenagers and young people in their 20s is particularly strong and effective.
Examples of Business and Individual Use
One successful example of VTuber use in businesses and local governments is its application in regional PR activities.

Character Concept Design
Designing your VTuber character based on your vision
Character concept design is the first step in any VTuber project.
We work with you to define the character’s personality, backstory, and design direction based on your vision and target audience.
This ensures that your VTuber becomes a consistent and engaging presence, laying the foundation for effectively building a fan base.
Character Design and Illustration Creation
High-quality designs by professional illustrators
Character design is a crucial element for maximizing a VTuber’s appeal.
Our experienced illustrators create character design proposals and adjust them to fit your target audience.
We produce illustrations that can be used with Live2D and 3D, delivering characters that combine visual impact with approachability.
3D Modeling and Live2D Conversion
Creating dynamic characters with 3D modeling and Live2D conversion
To actually move characters, 2D illustrations need to be converted into Live2D or 3D models. Using the latest technology, we provide models that can realistically capture subtle facial expressions and movements.
This allows viewers to enjoy real-time interaction and an immersive experience, further enhancing the appeal of VTubers.
