Nijisanji (にじさんじ, Also shorten as 2434) is a Virtual Youtuber(VTuber) talent agency owned by Ichikara Inc. The agency was founded in 2018 with the purpose of promoting the use of Live2D models and streaming as opposed to the 3D and clips format popularized by Kizuna AI. As of March 2021, there are 176 active VTubers (or Livers are they are called by Nijisanji) operating under Nijisanji, their various overseas branches and partnered program. Notable Nijisanji member include Kuzuha, Tsukino Mito, Kanae, Himawari Honma and Suzuhara Lulu.

Overview

In the beginning of 2018, Ichikara Inc. founded the VTuber agency Nijisanji. Nijisanji helped popularise the use of Live2D models instead of the prior focus on 3D models as well as the shift towards livestreaming instead of edited video and clips that was the standard for VTubers like Kizuna Ai.

In September 2020, Ichikara created an "Aggressive Acts and Slander Countermeasure Team" to offer counselling to victims of harassment and take legal measures against perpetrators of harassment, specifically the online harassment plaguing the Japanese entertainment industry. This announcement came in the wake of Hololive VTuber Mano Aloe's retirement after only two weeks of activity due to online harassment.
