The Tokyo Design Technology Center (TECH.C), located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, recently announced that students participated in producing content materials for the "Shishihai - Offline -" event hosted by the renowned VTuber, Shishiro Botan. This event took place from April 11 to April 12, 2026, providing a unique opportunity for the students to experience a real-world production process during a significant event.

Event Overview

• - Event Name: Shishihai - Offline -
• - Date: April 11-12, 2026

This two-day event kicked off with the "4th Shishihai" tournament, featuring eight teams battling in a double-elimination format on the first day. The second day showcased a face-off between Shishiro Botan and Laplus Darkness in the "East-West Showdown".

Student Contributions

As part of this initiative, TECH.C students were tasked with creating materials for live streaming, guided by concepts and design directives provided by the event organizers. The focus was on developing three types of on-screen graphics:

• - Name Tickers
• - Next Match Tickers
• - Interview Tickers

Approximately 20 students submitted design proposals, of which a selection advanced through initial review. Those chosen received constructive feedback mimicking real production environments from the event organizers. After refining their submissions, two student designs were officially utilized in both the main event and preliminary tournament broadcasts.

Educational Value of Practicing Real-World Projects

At TECH.C, students engage in corporate project-based classes, bridging academia with industry. This collaboration proved invaluable as it not only allowed hands-on experience in creative production but also enhanced understanding of project intent, client interactions, and iterative revisions—critical skills for a successful career in the creative industry.

Challenge in Material Production

Students from TECH.C were privileged to receive guidance on the event's overarching theme and design aesthetics, diving into the intricate process of designing graphics for streaming. Each student put their creativity to the test, leading to innovative submissions that underwent real-time editing suggestions aimed at achieving high quality in their work. Ultimately, two pieces were chosen for final use during the streaming of the Shishihai event.
