The innovative SNS app “AOi V” by SUPERGENE Inc. was eagerly launched in Japan on February 10, 2026. This platform allows users to interact with each other through virtual characters that reflect their ideals, without the need for real-name disclosure or face presentation, making it easy to engage in activities similar to those of VTubers with just a smartphone.

Offering New Connections with High-Quality Avatar Functionality

“AOi V” promotes the concept of “a place where you can become who you want to be” by utilizing 2D/3D avatar features, designed to enable closer interactions between creators and fans. While providing game-like fun, it encourages community building among users and is gaining attention as a new social platform where people with common interests can gather.

Auditions Collaborating with Major Companies

“AOi V” collaborated as the official platform in the virtual talent audition organized by INCS TOENTER × ANNIN, supporting the expression activities of the selected individuals. Through the continuous provision of a place for discovering new talent and supporting their careers, it aims to cultivate the next generation of creators.
