A New Category to Broaden Creative Horizons

On August 12, 2025, BookLive Co., Ltd., a group company of TOPPAN Holdings Co., Ltd., launched the beta version of the “Video” category on its creative platform, Xfolio. Previously, Xfolio offered categories for “Illustration,” “Manga,” and “Novels,” but now it incorporates new features to cater to the diverse needs of video creators as well.

Abundant Features for Video Creators

The newly added “Video” category allows creators to register videos published on platforms like YouTube in their portfolios, enabling public sharing and playback. Additionally, creators can now set specific videos as the key visual on their portfolio’s homepage. The incorporation of video functionality in the downloadable sales feature helps creators effectively present their work. Furthermore, the video sharing feature within fan communities strengthens the connection between creators and their fans.

Practicality through Collaboration with “Xissmie”

A significant highlight is the close collaboration with the dedicated social network for Xfolio, Xissmie. Creators can share information and engage in real-time interactions with fans on Xissmie, facilitating smooth promotion and sales of their works. With support for a wide range of video platforms, it provides opportunities to reach a larger audience.

Reflections and Future Prospects

With the addition of the “Video” category, Xfolio has firmly established itself as a comprehensive creative platform. The expansion of tools for video creators to showcase their works is indeed commendable. Looking ahead, it is expected that many more talented creators will leverage this platform to produce new works. We hope that the environment provided by Xfolio will further support the activities of creators.
