Sprix Inc.‘s official VTuber project SPRIX Academy reached its first anniversary on July 26, 2026. To celebrate, the project has announced a quiz special featuring YouTube team Sekibun Circle as guests, along with an SNS campaign offering original merchandise as prizes.

First Anniversary Quiz Special: “SPRIX Academy Quiz Club with Sekibun Circle”

To mark the first anniversary, a quiz special titled “SPRIX Academy Quiz Club with Sekibun Circle” has been confirmed for August 2026. Guest team Sekibun Circle was originally formed by students from Osaka University and boasts 610,000 YouTube subscribers as of July 2026. This marks their first collaboration with VTubers.

The quiz will feature questions about “today’s junior and senior high school students,” with a unique twist designed to put Sekibun Circle at a disadvantage. SPRIX Academy members Hinagi Himawari, Arisugawa Aone, and Shinra Eiru will face off against Sekibun Circle. The stream is scheduled on SPRIX Academy’s YouTube channel.

SNS Prize Campaign

A first anniversary SNS prize campaign is also underway. By following SPRIX Academy’s official X account and liking or reposting the designated post, fans can enter to win original merchandise — a student handbook-style memo pad, a sticky note set, and a tote bag (three types). Details are available on the campaign page.

The merchandise illustrations were created by popular illustrator Kaomin, who is known for designing the characters of hololive’s Juufuutei Raden.

SPRIX Academy: Learning Meets Entertainment

SPRIX Academy is an official VTuber project built around the concept of “learning meets entertainment.” Its parent company Sprix is known for operating individual tutoring chain Morijuku and other educational services. The current roster consists of second-generation members Hinagi Himawari, Arisugawa Aone, and Shinra Eiru, who debuted in May 2026 and have been actively promoting the joy of learning ever since.

Outlook

SPRIX Academy’s first collaboration with an educational YouTube team is a noteworthy development. Sekibun Circle’s reputation for academic prowess makes them a natural fit for SPRIX Academy’s “education meets entertainment” concept, and the crossover between the two should make for compelling content. Depending on the response, further collaborations with educational creators may follow. The use of illustrator Kaomin for anniversary merchandise also shows a strategic appeal to VTuber fan demographics, setting the stage for an ambitious second year.
