The Charm of the Region to the World—Background of the Business Partnership
Universe Production, as a specialized BtoB VTuber production company, collaborates with businesses nationwide, focusing on promoting local attractions through virtual influencers. They have successfully worked on projects like the Shizuoka Newspaper official VTuber “Kinohana Sakuya” and the OHK Okayama Broadcasting official VTuber “Apare Hokaru.” These achievements have led to the partnership with Iwate Menkoi TV.

Revitalizing the Region Through VTubers
Universe Production explores new media mix possibilities and actively seeks collaborations with local governments and advertisers through VTubers. This enhances the reach of local media audiences and expands advertising options. The success in electoral awareness campaigns and crowdfunding initiatives showcase how VTubers could become a key to regional revitalization.
