CyberAgent, Inc.’s Anime & IP Business Division has announced the collaborative event “2026 NIJISANJI Baseball Day” between NIJISANJI and Taiwanese professional baseball team Rakuten Monkeys. Collaboration games will be held over three days from September 11 (Fri) to September 13 (Sun), 2026, at Rakuten Taoyuan Baseball Stadium in Taiwan.

NIJISANJI and Rakuten Monkeys Team Up in Taiwan

“2026 NIJISANJI Baseball Day” is a collaboration event jointly presented by VTuber group NIJISANJI and Rakuten Monkeys, a team in Taiwan’s professional baseball league CPBL. The venue, Rakuten Taoyuan Baseball Stadium, is the home ground of the Rakuten Monkeys, located in Taoyuan City in northern Taiwan.

Collaboration games will be held across three days, drawing attention as an unusual crossover between NIJISANJI and Taiwanese professional baseball. NIJISANJI has previously hosted baseball-themed events such as “NIJISANJI Koshien,” and this partnership with a real professional baseball team marks a new chapter in their activities.

Lauren Iroas, Fuwa Minato, and Koyanagi Rou to Participate

Three NIJISANJI livers will participate in the event: Lauren Iroas, Fuwa Minato, and Koyanagi Rou. All three are highly popular livers with strong international fan followings.

During the event, original merchandise featuring exclusive event visuals of the participating livers is also planned. Further details on the goods are expected to be announced by the Rakuten Monkeys at a later date.

Ticket Information and Future Developments

Tickets are available through Taiwan’s ticketing service ibon. Fans considering attending the games in Taiwan are encouraged to check availability early.

NIJISANJI continues to expand its diverse event portfolio both domestically and internationally, and this collaboration with a Taiwanese professional baseball team is poised to further grow its overseas fan base. For the latest updates, follow NIJISANJI’s official X account and NIJISANJI’s official YouTube channel.

Thoughts and Outlook

This marks NIJISANJI’s first collaboration with a Taiwanese professional baseball team. While the group has built a strong track record through its virtual baseball event “NIJISANJI Koshien,” partnering with a real professional team represents a new stage entirely. With CyberAgent behind the project, this event is expected to become a landmark moment in accelerating VTuber content’s expansion across Asia.
