About Izigenia

Izigenia is a VTuber project created with world fans in mind. Just as manga, anime, and video games have won the hearts of fans around the globe, ClaN Entertainment seeks to share the magic of Japanese culture using virtual avatars that people can identify with personally no matter where they are or what language they speak.

ClaN Entertainment is dedicated to creating characters that are genuine and authentic—the kind of personalities people will really love and root for. With Izigenia, the company is building a new genre of entertainment where each talent can be their own incredible, one-of-a-kind personality. Even though they’ll be speaking mostly English so everyone can join the party, the project will also integrate Japanese and other languages to ensure a genuinely international experience that brings Japanese culture to life in fresh and exciting ways.
