Nippon TV’s group company ClaN Entertainment Inc. (Headquartered in Tokyo; President & CEO: Motoyuki Oi), an entertainment company specializing in VTubers and other influencers, is pleased to announce the official launch of its global initiatives. As the first major step, ClaN will debut its exciting new VTuber project, IZIGENIA, accompanied by a global talent search to discover outstanding individuals who will bring these characters to life.
In addition, ClaN will expand its creator support business to international markets. Building on the success of its multi-channel network C+ (C Plus) in Japan, ClaN will work alongside Sanrio to deliver comprehensive support for creators worldwide.
Izigenia is a VTuber project created with world fans in mind. Just as manga, anime, and video games have won the hearts of fans around the globe, ClaN Entertainment seeks to share the magic of Japanese culture using virtual avatars that people can identify with personally no matter where they are or what language they speak.
ClaN Entertainment is dedicated to creating characters that are genuine and authentic—the kind of personalities people will really love and root for. With Izigenia, the company is building a new genre of entertainment where each talent can be their own incredible, one-of-a-kind personality. Even though they’ll be speaking mostly English so everyone can join the party, the project will also integrate Japanese and other languages to ensure a genuinely international experience that brings Japanese culture to life in fresh and exciting ways.
CREATIVE SUPPORT
We provide extensive creative and financial support to enable our talents to concentrate on content creation and performance excellence. Izigenia covers all fundamental production costs, including professional character design development and Live2D model creation. Additionally, we supply necessary equipment such as high-performance computers, professional-grade microphones, and mobile devices, tailored to each talent’s specific requirements and streaming needs.
MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
Our team of experienced VTuber producers delivers individualized management services to each talent, encompassing performance analytics, strategic content planning, and targeted marketing initiatives designed to leverage your unique strengths and achieve your professional objectives. Revenue distribution is structured according to commitment level and performance metrics.
