Introducing “XTuber®︎” that transcends virtual and real

Corporation PANDORA has trademarked the next-generation talent “XTuber®︎” and its Japanese version “クロスチューバー®︎”. This new concept refers to talents who can operate beyond the boundaries of the virtual (VTuber) and the real (physical body), aiming to become a unique and original entity as an “XTuber”. As a result, talents can harness the features and experiences of both the virtual and real, allowing for richer and more free expression activities.

Background of trademark registration

With the rapid growth of the VTuber market, there has been an increasing demand for creators who operate beyond the boundaries of virtual and real. However, there has been no clear definition or positioning until now. To fill this gap, PANDORA acquired the trademark for “XTuber®︎” and aims to popularize it as a new market. “クロスチューバー®︎” was also trademarked to advance recognition in Japanese.

New project aiming for XTuber “Project YOHANE: Human Metamorphosis Plan”

As a new scheme to support “XTuber®︎”, PANDORA announced “Project YOHANE: Human Metamorphosis Plan”. This project aims to support those who lack experience or funding but wish to start VTuber activities, providing participants with an environment that reduces cost burdens. Applicants need to pass document screening and online interviews. For details on the project and how to apply, please visit here.

Looking to the future

PANDORA’s mission is to “Create places for someone in the world”. By removing the barrier between virtual and real, the company is creating new entertainment value. Recruitment information is also available, seeking companions to build this new market together.

Opinions and Prospects

The fusion of virtual and real is likely to be the key to expanding the possibilities of modern entertainment. The concept of “XTuber®︎” by PANDORA is expected to shine individuals’ inner selves and provide a place for freer self-expression. It is anticipated that many people will take an interest in and venture into this new style in the future.
