A Live2D model of a young man in traditional Japanese dress, featuring 6 hair colors and 9 differentials. With a calm, Japanese-style design in a kimono, it works with VTube Studio and Nizima LIVE. You can switch between expressions and poses using the various differentials while streaming. A model well suited to Japanese-themed or historical content, and to relaxed chatting streams.

A free tool that captures your expressions with iPhone/iPad face recognition and sends them to a VRM avatar on your PC. It can send motion to VMC Protocol-compatible software, including Virtual Motion Capture. Requires an iPhone/iPad with an A12 Bionic chip or later, and a PC viewer is included.

A free video asset for a starting soon screen that loops a 'Now Loading' display. It's a lightweight MP4 that supports infinite looping — just load it into an OBS media source and enable 'Loop' to easily build a waiting scene before your stream begins. Besides the free version, a ¥300 supporter version with bonus variant assets is also available. When you use it, you must credit it with a link to the BOOTH page or YouTube channel; redistribution and reposting are prohibited.

Highly customizable software built specifically for 3D VTuber streaming. Features built-in face and hand tracking, a Blueprint system, and support for C# plugins. Also comes packed with viewer-interaction features for Twitch and YouTube.

Motion capture software that naturally tracks even your hands and fingers using just a webcam. It supports VRM models, can send data to external apps via the VMC protocol, and can save files in FBX format — boosting the expressiveness of full-body streams without any dedicated hardware.

An AI motion capture app that can track your full body with just a single webcam. It uses MediaPipe and TensorFlow.js to animate VRM/MMD models. You can export motion as VMD/BVH/glTF, and also send it to VSeeFace, VNyan, or Warudo via VMC Protocol. The source code is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, but using the app or the motion you export for monetized streams isn't restricted.

A feature-rich, Windows-only streaming software that lets you composite desktop and webcam video in picture-in-picture. It supports simultaneous multistreaming to YouTube, Twitch, and more, and its rich effects let you build elaborate scene transitions — a paid, license-based streaming software long known as an industry veteran.

A subtitle tool that captions your stream audio live and translates it into multiple languages for OBS. It integrates with OneComme, VRChat, and Discord, letting individual streamers offer live multilingual subtitles for international viewers. Core features are free; a supporter version with higher-accuracy translation is available through FANBOX.
