The Launch of Kureha Madai Version 2 in 'Uomusume'

The realm of virtual entertainment has witnessed an exciting evolution with the VTuber project 'Uomusume' managed by G-Plan Co., Ltd., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo. On January 1, 2026, the project announced the debut of a new character, Kureha Madai Version 2, inheriting the legacy of its predecessor, Kureha Madai Version 1. This transition marks a significant milestone, not just for the character but also for the broader VTuber industry. By maintaining the character's existing IP value and world-building while exploring new artistic expressions, 'Uomusume' aims to redefine the engagement between virtual characters and their fanbase.

On December 30, 2025, a special baton-passing live stream was held, symbolically transitioning from the first version of Kureha Madai to the new iteration. This event was a crucial moment for long-time supporters, as it offered reflections on past journeys, words of encouragement for Version 2, and a nostalgic glance at the beloved character's history in the VTuber space. Fans engaged actively, expressing their sentiments and excitement for the future.

The journey of Kureha Madai Version 2 continued with a highly anticipated inaugural live stream on January 4, 2026. During this session, viewers enjoyed an introduction to the new character, insights into upcoming projects, and messages directed towards the fan community. The reception from the audience was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the strong bond between the VTuber and her supporters.

Moreover, a live stream retrospective on the inaugural event is set for January 5, 2026, at 9 PM, allowing fans to reminisce and engage further with the new character's story. Viewers are encouraged to join and participate in this interactive experience.

As 'Uomusume' moves forward, it remains committed to transcending the traditional boundaries of VTubers. The project aims to embrace the potential of its character IP while celebrating and showcasing the charm of fish and ocean life through innovative entertainment.
