My Japanese Company Made a VTuber...then Replaced her with AI Misstranslation 2026-07-04 | This was Silk-chan. I was her mother, father and herself. My company spent over a year creating her. She got socials, merchandise, a cosplay outfit, a VTuber model... and then the president replaced her after watching a single music video.I have been wanting to make a behind-the-scenes story of Silk-chan (Shikisai Silk), our company's original mascot, for quite a while. Maybe she can serve as an example of what it is like to work in Japan!From designing the character and learning Live2D, to creating merchandise, a cosplay costume, and preparing for one of the biggest doujinshi events in the world, this project had everything and I learned a lot as well. I got the memories and experience to keep with me forever at least!An uh, if you need anything planned, made, manufactured in japan, don't hesitate to reach out! We can do those things at my company. We just have too many cooks in our internal projects.------------------------------Songs used are from Persona 3/ Persona 5
