virtual YouTubers
Hololive City is a free art event filled with fun and photo ops for virtual YouTuber fans.
Japan’s biggest and best figure and model show returns with VTubers, action heroes, and the kind of figure that makes us wish we had an extra two thousand bucks to spend.
Hololive Production teams up with one of Tokyo’s most important shrines to provide a creative new method of support.
Realtime 2-D character creation software is a game-changer for artists and non-artists alike.
With a library of over 350 items, you can craft an original model even if you aren’t an artist! So we did.
Hololive English will be the first virtual YouTuber project to specifically target English-speaking countries, and it’s starting right away!
