metatropi Inc. has launched a new VTuber project, “Yojohan Project” (nickname: Yonpro), and opened auditions to recruit four VTuber members who will perform together as a group, starting June 10, 2026 (Wed). Applications are open until July 9 (Thu); no prior experience is required, and the compensation model combines a fixed fee plus revenue sharing.

A New Project Built Around Group Activity: “Yonpro”

The operator, metatropi Inc., has supported its talents by drawing out their individuality through its existing VTuber group “Aslla beStar” (Asurabi). This new “Yojohan Project” treats the relationships between members, their joint planning, and the very culture unique to a group as the core appeal of its content.

A defining feature is its emphasis on having members share the same worldview while building the group’s atmosphere and content together. Being able to take part from the earliest startup phase is a major draw.

The Agency Supports Debut Preparation After Selection

A major feature of the audition is the support system for those selected. Successful applicants will be provided with a character model by the agency so they can perform as a VTuber, and the management will also support preparations and environment setup leading up to the start of their activities.

The four who pass selection will begin activities as group members, taking part in collaborative streams and joint projects while their individual personalities and activity policies are respected. With a fixed fee plus revenue-sharing model, a framework is in place that lets them perform with peace of mind from the early days of their debut.

Selection Flow and the Road Ahead

Selection is planned to proceed through a first-round document and video screening, a second-round online interview, a third-round streaming review, and a fourth-round offline interview, followed by results notification and then debut preparation. Applications are accepted via the application form on the audition site (yonpro-audition.studio.site).

The application period runs until July 9, 2026 (Thu). Once the four successful applicants are in place, the group is expected to begin full-fledged activities. Going forward, further news on member reveals and debut streams will be worth watching.

Impressions and Outlook

While solo VTuber debuts are becoming more active, projects designed as a group launch from the very start are still uncommon. By placing the relationships between members and their joint projects at the core of its content, “Yonpro” reaffirms a way of enjoying group VTubers that is uniquely their own. Given that the design—providing character models and a revenue-sharing reward—makes it easy even for inexperienced applicants to take on the challenge, expectations are mounting for the kind of worldview these four members will build.
