ClaN Entertainment Inc., part of the Nippon TV group, is stepping onto the global stage with an ambitious new vision that blends cutting-edge VTuber projects and international creator support. Known in Japan for its innovative work with VTubers and influencers, ClaN is now expanding its creative universe worldwide. At the heart of this global push is IZIGENIA, ClaN’s latest VTuber project designed to resonate with international audiences. More than just a new character launch, Izigenia opens the door to a worldwide talent search. ClaN is inviting aspiring creators from across the globe to audition for the chance to bring the Izigenia characters to life. The project’s mission is to find unique, diverse voices who can shape the future of virtual entertainment.
To officially introduce Izigenia to the world, ClaN will make its debut appearance at Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles, from July 3 to July 6. During the event, the company will premiere an exclusive Izigenia audition animation, setting the stage for the global casting call and giving fans a first look at this exciting new universe. But ClaN’s international ambitions don’t stop there. The company is also expanding its creator support services beyond Japan, building on the success of its domestic multi-channel network, C+ (C Plus). In a strategic partnership with the iconic brand Sanrio, ClaN is launching C+ Global, a new initiative designed to help creators worldwide grow their presence and monetize their content.
C+ Global will offer comprehensive support to international creators, providing resources in content management, branding, and audience development. By teaming up with Sanrio, ClaN aims to create a supportive, creative space where influencers, artists, and storytellers can thrive, regardless of their location.
“Our goal is to build bridges across cultures through entertainment,” said Motoyuki Oi, President & CEO of ClaN Entertainment. “With Izigenia and C+ Global, we’re creating new opportunities for creators to collaborate, express themselves, and connect with fans around the world.”
As ClaN makes its first appearance at Anime Expo, it marks the beginning of a dynamic chapter in the company’s evolution—one that reaches beyond Japan’s borders to embrace the global creative community.
