“Konmanbou!”
A solo VTuber who will be “re-debuting” on February 17, 2023. His main job is a mixing engineer. The sunfish backpack on his back holds infinite possibilities. His activities are diverse, including working in the idol unit “épeler” and appearing at DJ events.

A VR idol group formed in March 2018. The members are Suzuki Anzu, Shirafuji Tamaki, and Hinata Nao. They are dedicated to making VR idols and virtual idols a common presence that everyone knows, and on top of that, they are challenging themselves with the goal of becoming the world’s best VR idol.
In 2019, she was the only virtual talent to appear at the world’s largest female idol festival, “TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL” from 2021 to 2024, and in 2023, she entered the “Idol General Election” held at the same event alongside veteran idols. She made it to the grand finale by coming in first in the preliminary election, and third in the final election, making her mark in TIF history.
In 2022, they will perform in 50 live shows and liven up the atmosphere at various venues, working towards a future where we can enjoy the wonderful culture of “idols” beyond the barriers between the real and virtual worlds.
