nijisanji

Nijisanji is a face-tracking app and virtual YouTuber group, managed by Anycolor Inc. (formerly named Ichikara Inc.). The company began activities in early 2018, originally as an app developer with no intention of management (legend saying that at one time management had fewer people than their talent, before Mito exploded in popularity and necessitated more staff). The project was helmed by CEO Tazumi Riku and then-COO Iwanaga Taiki, the latter having since departed from the company.

While the app has no release date, and early on wasn't even approved by Apple, it is actively used by Nijisanji Project, a group of official virtual YouTubers referred to as "Virtual Livers".

Their characters are notably in 2D, instead of the initially more popular and established trend of 3D. This strategy was to minimize upfront investment and allow themselves a broader range of personalities. While some of the more popular characters do also have 3D models, 2D is still used for most appearances.

Many of the characters have alternate variations, such as alternate costumes, hairstyles, accessories like kemonomimi, or even aged up forms.

The official website offers a short profile for each character; however, the talent is given the freedom to develop their characters as they wish. As a result, few if any actually resemble their original profile.

Nijisanji Project members

Initially grouping was done according to the time of debut and the nature of contract, but after 2019 these distinctions were removed and all members placed under Nijisanji Project. This list represents their origins.

Nijisanji Gamers

First debut: May 2, 2018. A group specializing in video game streaming, aiming to bridge the gap between the audiences for virtual YouTubers and professional gaming.

Nijisanji SEEDs

First debut: June 3, 2018. A group based on a "challenge framework with the potential for group activities." Its members were selected for variety, rather than experience or skill.

Nijisanji 是一款面部追踪应用程序和虚拟 YouTuber 群组,由 Anycolor Inc.(原名 Ichikara Inc.)管理。该公司于 2018 年初开始活动,最初是一家无意进行管理的应用程序开发人员(传说,在 Mito 人气爆炸并需要更多员工之前,管理层曾一度人手不足)。该项目由首席执行官 Tazumi Riku 和时任首席运营官 Iwanaga Taiki 负责,后者现已离开公司。

虽然该应用程序没有发布日期,而且早期甚至没有得到苹果公司的批准,但它被 Nijisanji Project 积极使用,这是一个由官方虚拟 YouTube 用户组成的组织,被称为“虚拟肝脏”。

他们的角色主要是 2D 的,而不是最初更流行和既定趋势的 3D。这一策略是为了最大限度地减少前期投资,并让自己拥有更广泛的个性。虽然一些更受欢迎的角色也有 3D 模型,但大多数外观仍然使用 2D。

许多角色都有不同的变化,例如不同的服装、发型、配饰(如 kemonomimi),甚至是老年形态。

官方网站为每个角色提供了简短的简介;然而,人才可以自由地按照自己的意愿发展自己的性格。结果,很少有人真正与他们原来的形象相似。

最初是根据出道时间和合同性质进行分组,但在 2019 年之后,这些区别被取消,所有成员都被归入 Nijisanji Project。这份名单代表了他们的起源。

首次亮相:2018年6月3日。以“具有团体活动潜力的挑战框架”为基础的团体。其成员的选择是基于多样性,而不是经验或技能。虽然该团体被视为独立的,但与团体外的成员互动没有任何限制。自 2019 年起并入 Nijisanji 项目。
