is a virtual YouTuber agency owned by Anycolor Inc. (formerly Ichikara Inc.). The agency was founded in 2018 with the purpose of promoting the use of Live2D models and live streaming as opposed to the 3D and clips format popularized by Kizuna AI.
==History== ===2018=== On 11 January 2018, Ichikara Inc. announced that they were opening recruitment for virtual idols. The campaign centered around Ichikara's iPhone X face tracking app, also named Nijisanji. The app was designed to simplify the process of becoming a VTuber using Live2D software and the iPhone X's Animoji feature. The announcement stated that accepted talents, known as Virtual Livers, would be expected to stream live to various platforms using this app. The name Nijisanji was not used to refer to the talents themselves until the announcement of the second wave of recruitment on 15 March 2018.
