ANYCOLOR Inc. has announced the debut of eight new virtual streamers from their VTuber/Virtual Liver group “Nijisanji“. The eight will be active as the streaming team “Y4T4”, and their first live broadcast will take place in a relay format over two days, starting at 21:00 on April 21 (Tuesday) and 22 (Wednesday), 2026.

8 New Streamers Making Their Debut

The eight new debuts include Rei7, Otoko Tora, Mikokami Kotone, Tsukahara Daichi, Chihirn Ayumu, Kurin Eita, Koko Nami Iruka, and Rayon. The characters feature a variety of unique backgrounds, including a gamer girl, a mysterious handsome older man living in an arcade, a wealthy heiress, and a genius high school gamer. Each streamer’s X (formerly Twitter) account has already been launched, and they plan to actively stream primarily on Twitch, with YouTube also included in their content schedule.

Nijisanji’s First Simultaneous Debut on Twitch and YouTube

Notably, this debut marks Nijisanji’s first simultaneous live broadcast on Twitch and YouTube. The relay’s first stream will kick off with Tsukahara Daichi at 21:00 on April 21, followed by Koko Nami Iruka and Chihirn Ayumu. The team formation, focused on Twitch, is expected to garner attention in the industry as a new strategic direction for major VTuber agencies.

Debut Merchandise and Voice Sales

Following the relay’s conclusion on April 22 (Wednesday), the sale of debut commemorative merchandise and voice packs will begin at the Nijisanji official store and the NIJISANJI EN Official Store. Available items will include acrylic stands, can badges, random Cheki-style cards, and voice recordings, offering a comprehensive lineup for fans. The rapid rollout of merchandise from debut day is characteristic of Nijisanji’s approach.

Reactions and Future Prospects

The scale of simultaneous debuts by eight members from a major agency, a Twitch-focused platform strategy, and the attempt at simultaneous live streaming gives this announcement significance beyond a typical newcomer debut. The sight of eight streamers appearing all at once in the relay is highly anticipated and is expected to make a significant impact on the VTuber scene in late April.
