Birthday-commemorative goods and voices for Shirokuma Taberu, a VTuber belonging to the agency Hakonect (operated by Analog Inc.), go on sale from Friday, June 12, 2026 to Sunday, July 12, 2026 at 23:59 on the official Hakonect BOOTH. The full set includes a hand-signed acrylic panel and a tapestry newly drawn by Izumi Nanase.

Full Set Comes Hand-Signed; Four Types Available

Four types are offered. The top-tier “Birthday Commemorative Goods and Voice Full Set” (10,000 yen) bundles a B2 silky-suede tapestry newly drawn by Izumi Nanase, an approximately A5-size acrylic panel with a hand-written signature, a can badge (57mm diameter), and two birthday voices. Full-set buyers receive Shirokuma Taberu’s hand-written signature on the acrylic panel.

In addition, an acrylic panel set (5,000 yen), a tapestry on its own (4,000 yen), and a two-voice birthday set (500 yen) are available, making for a lineup that buyers can choose from according to budget and taste.

Tapestry Newly Drawn by Izumi Nanase, Plus Birthday Voices

The centerpiece tapestry is a newly drawn illustration by Izumi Nanase. The two birthday voices—”Searching for UFOs” and “30 Puns in a Row” (audio in wav format)—put Shirokuma Taberu’s character front and center.

Who Is Shirokuma Taberu?

Shirokuma Taberu is a VTuber whose setting is that of a girl who got lost and eventually arrived at the agency. She carries a mysterious air yet loves talking with people, and—uniquely—lies with fairly high frequency. She has a soft spot for puns and is said to sometimes keep laughing for more than 10 minutes. Her birthday is June 12.

Future Plans and Hakonect’s Activities

Hakonect is a VTuber agency active since June 2021. It runs advertising centered on Akihabara and maintains its own studio, putting effort into recording and streaming environments as well as merchandise. Recently it also held a collaboration with the Sanuki udon restaurant “Menki Yashima Shibuya Maruyamacho”, and together with birthday initiatives for its talents, it is actively building touchpoints with fans.

Impressions and Outlook

Birthday-commemorative goods are a standard way for fans to celebrate a milestone alongside their favorite, but the craftsmanship here—the hand-written signature and the personality-packed “30 Puns in a Row” voice—really brings out Shirokuma Taberu’s character. The pricing, spanning from a 500-yen voice single to a 10,000-yen full set, is also thoughtfully designed to reach everyone from casual to core fans. It looks like a fine example of a mid-size agency steadily monetizing the appeal of its individual talents.
