A New Dimension in Video Editing: Live2D Model of Kasukabe Tsumugi
On September 10, 2026, Live2D Inc., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, announced an innovative addition to their online video editing tool, Nizima ACTION!! beta version. The new feature includes a Live2D model of "Kasukabe Tsumugi," beautifully illustrated by Sakamoto Ahiru. Now, users can easily create rich videos with this 3D-like animation technology, all while enjoying seamless integration of lip-sync capabilities and VOICEVOX technology.
What is Nizima ACTION!!?
Nizima ACTION!! is a free online video editing tool that allows users to edit videos directly from their browsers. It boasts advanced features like keyframe manipulation and multi-track editing, making it far more sophisticated than typical web apps. By leveraging Live2D's strengths, the editor enables the integration of Live2D models into videos. Users can also record live movements in real-time when used with tracking applications. The platform comes with a wealth of free resources, perfectly suitable for creating short videos, promotional clips, singing content, VTuber videos, and showcases for Live2D modelers. The beta version is currently available at no cost.
Introducing the Kasukabe Tsumugi Live2D Model
The latest addition of Kasukabe Tsumugi's Live2D model makes it available as a sample in Nizima ACTION!!. Users can utilize various expressions and motions configured for this model, taking full advantage of the tracking capabilities. The model provides opportunities for real-time expression, including motion capture with hand tracking, making it perfect for creating meme videos or explanatory content. Note that using the character requires adherence to their usage guidelines and proper credit, such as "VOICEVOX: Kasukabe Tsumugi."
Enhanced Video Creation with VOICEVOX
In May, the VOICEVOX text-to-speech system was integrated into Nizima ACTION!!. This feature can generate the voice of "Kasukabe Tsumugi," allowing users to combine this new Live2D model with the generated audio. The VOICEVOX function creates subtitles and allows generated audio to be quickly added to the editing timeline. By linking the generated audio with the model's lip-sync, users create a streamlined workflow that encompasses text input, audio synthesis, and model animation—all through Nizima ACTION!!

Live2D's Kasukabe Tsumugi (Sakamoto Ahiru-style) model is also available for free distribution on the KASUKABEproject Booth. Models downloaded from the official site can be utilized in Live2D-compatible tracking applications like Nizima LIVE and VTube Studio.
