->''"It's a 100-Strong unit of Vtuber members, so of course there will be different opinions, but Nijisanji is Nijisanji because there's so many people, right? "''
-->'''-- Gwelu Os Gar'''
[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX7YkU9nEeaoZbkVLVajcMg Nijisanji]] (nicknamed [[GoroawaseNumber 2434]]) is a VirtualYoutuber group based in Japan, founded and operated by [[https://www.ichikara.co.jp/en/ Ichikara Inc.]] Nijisanji members make LetsPlay, free chat, and other variety content streams with UsefulNotes/Live2D-animated anime avatars on Website/{{YouTube}} (the Chinese branch though primarily streams on Bilibili). Officially, Nijisanji members refer to themselves as "Virtual Livers", or "Livers" for short.
The group was founded by Ichikara in early 2018 as a proof of concept for the Nijisanji app, after WebAnimation/KizunaAi kickstarted the [=VTuber=] trend in 2016-2017. The app allows streaming with [=Live2D=]-animated anime avatars using the iPhone X facial motion capture technology, which is simpler and much less expensive than full-body 3D motion tracking equipment used with Kizuna Ai.
The debut group consisted of only 8 members, but they became unexpectedly popular in Japan, and Ichikara soon expanded Nijisanji into a massive [=VTuber=] organization. As of March 2021, Nijisanji has a total of [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters 172 active talents]], including members in foreign branches. An overview of Nijisanji's branches are as follows:
%%As of 11 March 2021. +4-1 since end of 2020
* Nijisanji: The main Japanese branch of Nijisanji. It currently has 103 active members and 15 former members (13 members who retired including the two from VOIZ, two members whose contracts were terminated).
** The main branch of Nijisanji formerly consisted of three wings: Nijisanji, Nijisanji [=SEEDs=], and Nijisanji Gamers; these three wings were merged into a single one in December 2018.
** VOIZ was a male unit of 4 members, active from June-August 2018. Two of the members retired in June 2018 while the other two (Air Harusaki and Naru Naruse) subsequently joined [=SEEDs=].
* NIJISANJI ID: The Indonesian branch, which began activities in June 2019. Currently has 16 active members.
* NIJISANJI KR: The Korean branch, which began activities in January 2020. Currently has 14 active members and 6 former members; this includes 6 members from the agency 541 E&G, who merged with KR when it was established.
* NIJISANJI IN: The India branch (temporarily the English branch NIJISANJI EN), which began activities in January 2020. Currently has 3 active members.
* [=VirtuaReal=]: A Chinese "branch" (technically a separate project from Nijisanji, but close enough to Nijisanji that it is usually considered a branch) jointly operated between Ichikara and Bilibili, launched in May 2019. Currently has 36 active members and 4 former members.
** [=VirtuaReal=] Star: A [=VirtuaReal=] branch that creates [=VTuber=] identities for established content creators and celebrities.
** [=VirtuaReal=] Link: A partnership program for independent [=VTubers=] similar to Nijisanji [=NetWORK=].
* Defunct projects:
** Nijisanji Shanghai/Taipei: A branch operated in partnership with local companies that began activities in August 2018. At the end of March 2019 it was reorganised into [=VEgo=] and Ichikara ended its involvement. The last member of the group would retire in March 2020.
** Nijisanji [=NetWORK=]: A partnership program active from May-December 2019 that provides support to independent Virtual [=YouTubers=]. Two members (Tenkai Tsukasa and Fairys) came under the program, and they now operate as independent [=VTubers=] after the program's termination.
Nijisanji members produce a large variety of content, including LetsPlays, free talk streams, singing, voice acting, radio hosting, [[ASMRVideo ASMR]], and other streams or videos that don't fall into any category. The main Nijisanji channel also releases short animated videos of stream highlights, as well as special multi-member projects such as radio talk shows, variety shows, and gaming tournaments.
They have released original songs by members and music. They've currently released two albums of original songs: "にじさんじ Music MIX UP!!" and "SMASH The PAINT!!", and one CoverAlbum "Prismatic Colors", and in addition have contributed to the cover albums "Imagination Vol.1" and "Imagination Vol.2". All of the albums are available on online music streaming platforms like Spotify and iTunes.
Nijisanji also uses the "[=Niji3D=]" technology, which allows 3D motion tracking on the upper part of the body outside of a studio environment. It has seen regular use by some Nijisanji members.

----
!! This group provides examples of:
* AprilFoolsDay: A decent chunk of the livers run their own gags (mostly Twitter-based), some of which are recurring.
** Mito started off with a stream done by her hairpins in 2018. This was followed up by the infamous "Nazono Mito" stream in 2019, with the series continuing into subsequent years.
** Other recurring gags include Touya Kenmochi's genderbent version Touko, and Kaede's trumpet valve taking over her accounts.
** Kai Mayuzumi prefers to use April Fools' Day for expanding his lore instead.
* CastOfSnowflakes: Every character design of Nijisanji members is unique and can be distinguished from each other, despite having over 100 active members, to make each Liver stand out during collaborations. Characters have their own designs and backstories and can be a variety from OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent to TalkingAnimal.
* CastHerd: As the number of members increases, this is unavoidable. Since collaborations within Nijisanji are frequent, members who often collaborate together are given names and become subunits. For example: evergreen nerd[[labelnote:note]][[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3lNFeJiTq6L3UWoz4g1e-A Uzuki Kou]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9EjSJ8pvxtvPdxLOElv73w Makaino Ririmu]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoztvTULBYd3WmStqYeoHcA Sasaki Saku]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ1xuCK1kNmn5RzPYIZop3w Lize Helesta]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKMYISTJAQ8xTplUPHiABlA Yashiro Kizuku]][[/labelnote]], Loli gumi[[labelnote:note]][[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt0clH12Xk1-Ej5PXKGfdPA Mononobe Alice]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtpB6Bvhs1Um93ziEDACQ8g Morinaka Kazaki]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmUjjW5zF1MMOhYUwwwQv9Q Ushimi Ichigo]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLO9QDxVL4bnvRRsz6K4bsQ Yuuki Chihiro]][[/labelnote]], and SKB club[[labelnote:note]][[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwokZsOK_uEre70XayaFnzA Suzuka Utako]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPvGypSgfDkVe7JG2KygK7A Rindou Mikoto]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeShTCVgZyq2lsBW9QwIJcw Gundou Mirei]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHVXbQzkl3rDfsXWo8xi2qw Ange Katrina]][[/labelnote]] are only a few of the subunits. Although they split into groups, they still can choose to collaborate with anyone outside those groups, but usually, they stick to group that they are in regularly.
** Nijisanji is also split into [[IdolSinger musical units]] for their albums. The groups also often stream collaborations with each other.
*** Petit Fleurs was a musical unit that contains two members; [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwQ9Uv-m8xkE5PzRc7Bqx3Q Otogibara Era]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtpB6Bvhs1Um93ziEDACQ8g Morinaka Kazaki]]. Their group was signed under the record label [=NBCUniversal=] Entertainment Japan. Due to Otogibara Era's retirement, they are more or less considered disbanded.
*** Rain Drops are a Nijisanji universal unit that has six members: [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt5-0i4AVHXaWJrL8Wql3mw Ryushen]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYKP16oMX9KKPbrNgo_Kgag Elu]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCveZ9Ic1VtcXbsyaBgxPMvg Warabeda Meiji]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUJbHiTVeGrSkTdBzVfNCQ Joe Rikiichi]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNW1Ex0r6HsWRD4LCtPwvoQ Saegusa Akina]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCryOPk2GZ1meIDt53tL30Tw Suzuki Masaru]]. This is signed under the label Virgin Records (Universal Music Group).
*** Dokuzuhonsha is treated as both a musical unit and a collaboration unit with four members: [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSFCh5NL4qXrAy9u-u2lX3g Kuzuha]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0g1AE0DOjBYnLhkgoRWN1w Honma Himawari]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC53UDnhAAYwvNO7j_2Ju1cQ Dola]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKMYISTJAQ8xTplUPHiABlA Yashiro Kizuku]]. When streaming, they treat each other like a family [[labelnote:note]]Dola and Yashiro Kizuku are the parents, while Kuzuha and Honma Himawari their children[[/labelnote]].
*** JK Gumi is another group that is treated as both a musical unit and a collaboration unit. The members are [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD-miitqNY3nyukJ4Fnf4_A Tsukino Mito]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsg-YqdqQ-KFF0LNk23BY4A Higuchi Kaede]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6oDys1BGgBsIC3WhG1BovQ Shizuka Rin]]. All three members were among the first eight original members of Nijisanji.
*** [=▽▲TRiNITY▲▽=] is a musical unit consisting of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV5ZZlLjk5MKGg3L0n0vbzw Rion Takamiya]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGYAYLDE7TZiiC8U6teciDQ Fuyuki Hakase]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuep1JCrMvSxOGgGhBfJuYw Furen E Lustario]]. On February 28, 2021 at the closing ceremony of the Nijisanji Anniversary Festival it was announced that they had signed with NBC Universal.
*** Other groups who are both collaboration groups and musical units include [=SanBaka=][[labelnote:note]]although their name can be translated as "3 idiots" (the English phrase would later be used by the IN trio), it actually comes from the phrase "Samba Carnival"[[/labelnote]], made up of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ1xuCK1kNmn5RzPYIZop3w Lize Helesta]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHVXbQzkl3rDfsXWo8xi2qw Ange Katrina]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXRlIK3Cw_TJIQC5kSJJQMg Inui Toko]], [=ChroNoiR=], a duo of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSFCh5NL4qXrAy9u-u2lX3g Kuzuha]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspv01oxUFf_MTSipURRhkA Kanae]], le jouet, made up of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt5-0i4AVHXaWJrL8Wql3mw Ryushen]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmovZ2th3Sqpd00F5RdeigQ Kagami Hayato]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTIE7LM5X15NVugV7Krp9Hw Yumeoi Kakeru]], and VALZ (Officially spelled as VΔLZ), a trio made up of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXW4MqCQn-jCaxlX-nn-BYg Nagao Kei]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGw7lrT-rVZCWHfdG9Frcgg Genzuki Tojiro]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo2N7C-Z91waaR6lF3LL_jw Kaida Haru]].
** Other members are easily recognized by their debut groups such as Beni Zuwaigani (Saegusa Akina, Aizono Manami), SMC (Yorumi Rena, Kagami Hayato, Hakase Fuyuki), Blues (Mayuzumi Kai, Ars Armal, Aiba Uiha), Posanke (Amamiya Kokoro, Ratna Petit, Eli Conifer), The Red Organization (Matsukai Mao, Luis Cammy, Emma August), Orihimeboshi (Hoshikawa Sara, Fumi, Yamagami Karuta), Tulip Gumi (Sukoya Kana, Shellin Burgendy, Hayase Sou), Night Kingdom (Fuwa Minato, Shirayuki Tomoe, Gwelu Os Gar), Mananatsu (Mashiro, Naraka, Kurusu Natsume), Meifu (Furen E Lustario, Melissa Kinrenka, Ibrahim), and the Sereine Girls' Academy group AKA the Selejo Girls (Asahina Akane, Suo Sango, Todo Kohaku, Kitakoji Hisui, Nishizono Chigusa).
* DevelopersForesight: A non-gaming example: the home version of Nijisanji's 3D model tracking actively prevents people from FlippingTheBird. Nobody knew this feature existed for several months, until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Uij9E0cHw Lize tried to do exactly that]] on a whim wondering why her model's fingers were acting weird.
* DigitalAvatar: They use the Nijisanji App to allow streaming through digital avatars by using iPhone X facial motion capture to control [=Live2D=] models. This is cheaper than some alternatives, but movement and animation are limited. They also have [=Niji3D=] which allows members to use full-motion tracker outside the studio. [=Niji3D=] is limited to the upper body, although there are a few people who use [=Niji3D=] when streaming.
* FantasyKitchenSink: Due to the CastOfSnowflakes and having over 100 talents, this is to be expected to keep every design unique. Characters' designs range from high school students and middle-aged otaku, to things like vampires, knights, witches, elves, angels, animals in human form, talking animals, demons, devils, dragons, and youkai.
* IdolSinger: Though operated primarily as a streamer group (and not an "idol" group like hololive), Nijisanji has many members who are talented in singing, and they have released 4 albums of songs so far. They planned to perform in a 6-show national music concert tour called "Nijisanji JAPAN TOUR 2020 Shout in the Rainbow!" starting in February 2020, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Tokyo show was cancelled and the second Zepp Namba show was exclusively streamed online. A "Tokyo Revenge" show was subsequently held at the Nijisanji Anniversary Festival in February 2021 alongside several other performances.
** Kaede Higuchi in particular has so far had two solo concerts, the first ("KANA-DERO") in 2019 and the second ("AIM") in 2021.
* LetsPlay: A popular category of content. Game choices will depend on the liver but can cover trending games, hard games such as ''VideoGame/GettingOverItWithBennettFoddy'', horror games such as ''VideoGame/{{Outlast}}'', or just those games that interest them. Mito in particular gained much of her early popularity from her playthroughs of Europe Kikaku games and similar strange web games.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Nijisanji has been recruiting talents into the group since their debut and now has over 100 active members.
* LocationThemeNaming: All the August 2020 Nijisanji debuts (Akane Asahina, Sango Suo, Koharu Todo, Hisui Kitakoji, and Chigusa Nishizono) have names with characters corresponding to a cardinal direction/location. Asahina (朝日南) is South, Suo (周央) is center, Todo (東堂) is East, Kitakoji (北小路) is North, and Nishozono (西園) is West.
* MultinationalTeam: The main Nijisanji is in Japan but they also have Korea, Indonesia, China[[note]]The original Nijisanji China was operated by a Hong Kong company with Ichikara license, receiving Nijisanji branding and tech. However, the group eventually closed down following mass retirements and the end of Ichikara's licensing. The current "official" Chinese branch of Nijisanji is a joint operation between Ichikara and Bilibili known as [=VirtuaReal=].[[/note]], and India branches.
* PanelGame: The monthly "Niji Quiz" series, which as the name suggests is a quiz show featuring the livers. This is done in collaboration with the quiz site [=QuizKnock=].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: While official English spellings are provided on the website, this doesn't extend to unit names. In particular, the unit consisting of Akina Saegusa, Minato Fuwa and Kai Mayuzumi has been spelt "Meshers", "Meschers", "Mesherz" and more by fan translators. Incidentally, the name originates from the highlights in the members' hair, the Japanese term for which comes from the French word mèche.
* TournamentArc: Nijisanji hosts tournaments for members to participate and go against each other from time to time. They've hosted many different types of tournaments, from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSSw6WoPlXc typing tournaments]] to games tournaments like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkSsBMac7wc&t=6s Splatoon 2]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EVw8i8zmBI Tetris 99]]. These tournaments are usually hosted by either one of the members or a staff member at the main channel.
* UnPerson: Raito Shindo was a member who retired after his debut due to the controversies and Flame Wars surrounding him. Nijisanji deleted all of his accounts including both his [=YouTube=] account and his Twitter due to him breaching his contract. He apparently made inappropriate tweets and leaked other Vtubers' personal data, although the information surrounding the controversy is dubious. Neither Nijisanji nor any of the other members have said his name or referred to him after the event. His suspension happened after only two videos, making him the quickest retiring member.

*** JK Gumi is another group that is treated as both a musical unit and a collaboration unit. The members are [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD-miitqNY3nyukJ4Fnf4_A Tsukino Mito]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsg-YqdqQ-KFF0LNk23BY4A Higuchi Kaede]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6oDys1BGgBsIC3WhG1BovQ Shizuka Rin]]. All three members were among the first eight original members of Nijisanji.

*** Other groups who are both collaboration groups and musical units include [=SanBaka=][[labelnote:note]]although their name can be translated as "3 idiots" (the English phrase would later be used by the IN trio), it actually comes from the phrase "Samba Carnival"[[/labelnote]], made up of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ1xuCK1kNmn5RzPYIZop3w Lize Helesta]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHVXbQzkl3rDfsXWo8xi2qw Ange Katrina]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXRlIK3Cw_TJIQC5kSJJQMg Inui Toko]], [=ChroNoiR=], a duo of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSFCh5NL4qXrAy9u-u2lX3g Kuzuha]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspv01oxUFf_MTSipURRhkA Kanae]], le jouet, made up of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt5-0i4AVHXaWJrL8Wql3mw Ryushen]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmovZ2th3Sqpd00F5RdeigQ Kagami Hayato]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTIE7LM5X15NVugV7Krp9Hw Yumeoi Kakeru]], and VALZ (Officially spelled as VΔLZ), a trio made up of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXW4MqCQn-jCaxlX-nn-BYg Nagao Kei]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGw7lrT-rVZCWHfdG9Frcgg Genzuki Tojiro]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo2N7C-Z91waaR6lF3LL_jw Kaida Haru]].
** Other members are easily recognized by their debut groups such as Beni Zuwaigani (Saegusa Akina, Aizono Manami), SMC (Yorumi Rena, Kagami Hayato, Hakase Fuyuki), Blues (Mayuzumi Kai, Ars Armal, Aiba Uiha), Posanke (Amamiya Kokoro, Ratna Petit, Eli Conifer), The Red Organization (Matsukai Mao, Luis Cammy, Emma August), Orihimeboshi (Hoshikawa Sara, Fumi, Yamagami Karuta), Tulip Gumi (Sukoya Kana, Shellin Burgendy, Hayase Sou), Night Kingdom (Fuwa Minato, Shirayuki Tomoe, Gwelu Os Gar), Mananatsu (Mashiro, Naraka, Kurusu Natsume), Meifu (Furen E Lustario, Melissa Kinrenka, Ibrahim), and the Sereine Girls' Academy group AKA the Selejo Girls (Asahina Akane, Suo Sango, Todo Kohaku, Kitakoji Hisui, Nishizono Chigusa).
* DevelopersForesight: A non-gaming example: the home version of Nijisanji's 3D model tracking actively prevents people from FlippingTheBird. Nobody knew this feature existed for several months, until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Uij9E0cHw Lize tried to do exactly that]] on a whim wondering why her model's fingers were acting weird.
* DigitalAvatar: They use the Nijisanji App to allow streaming through digital avatars by using iPhone X facial motion capture to control [=Live2D=] models. This is cheaper than some alternatives, but movement and animation are limited. They also have [=Niji3D=] which allows members to use full-motion tracker outside the studio. [=Niji3D=] is limited to the upper body, although there are a few people who use [=Niji3D=] when streaming.
* FantasyKitchenSink: Due to the CastOfSnowflakes and having over 100 talents, this is to be expected to keep every design unique. Characters' designs range from high school students and middle-aged otaku, to things like vampires, knights, witches, elves, angels, animals in human form, talking animals, demons, devils, dragons, and youkai.
* IdolSinger: Though operated primarily as a streamer group (and not an "idol" group like hololive), Nijisanji has many members who are talented in singing, and they have released 4 albums of songs so far. They planned to perform in a 6-show national music concert tour called "Nijisanji JAPAN TOUR 2020 Shout in the Rainbow!" starting in February 2020, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Tokyo show was cancelled and the second Zepp Namba show was exclusively streamed online. A "Tokyo Revenge" show was subsequently held at the Nijisanji Anniversary Festival in February 2021 alongside several other performances.
** Kaede Higuchi in particular has so far had two solo concerts, the first ("KANA-DERO") in 2019 and the second ("AIM") in 2021.
* LetsPlay: A popular category of content. Game choices will depend on the liver but can cover trending games, hard games such as ''VideoGame/GettingOverItWithBennettFoddy'', horror games such as ''VideoGame/{{Outlast}}'', or just those games that interest them. Mito in particular gained much of her early popularity from her playthroughs of Europe Kikaku games and similar strange web games.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Nijisanji has been recruiting talents into the group since their debut and now has over 100 active members.
* LocationThemeNaming: All the August 2020 Nijisanji debuts (Akane Asahina, Sango Suo, Koharu Todo, Hisui Kitakoji, and Chigusa Nishizono) have names with characters corresponding to a cardinal direction/location. Asahina (朝日南) is South, Suo (周央) is center, Todo (東堂) is East, Kitakoji (北小路) is North, and Nishozono (西園) is West.
* MultinationalTeam: The main Nijisanji is in Japan but they also have Korea, Indonesia, China[[note]]The original Nijisanji China was operated by a Hong Kong company with Ichikara license, receiving Nijisanji branding and tech. However, the group eventually closed down following mass retirements and the end of Ichikara's licensing. The current "official" Chinese branch of Nijisanji is a joint operation between Ichikara and Bilibili known as [=VirtuaReal=].[[/note]], and India branches.
* PanelGame: The monthly "Niji Quiz" series, which as the name suggests is a quiz show featuring the livers. This is done in collaboration with the quiz site [=QuizKnock=].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: While official English spellings are provided on the website, this doesn't extend to unit names. In particular, the unit consisting of Akina Saegusa, Minato Fuwa and Kai Mayuzumi has been spelt "Meshers", "Meschers", "Mesherz" and more by fan translators. Incidentally, the name originates from the highlights in the members' hair, the Japanese term for which comes from the French word mèche.
* TournamentArc: Nijisanji hosts tournaments for members to participate and go against each other from time to time. They've hosted many different types of tournaments, from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSSw6WoPlXc typing tournaments]] to games tournaments like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkSsBMac7wc&t=6s Splatoon 2]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EVw8i8zmBI Tetris 99]]. These tournaments are usually hosted by either one of the members or a staff member at the main channel.
* UnPerson: Raito Shindo was a member who retired after his debut due to the controversies and Flame Wars surrounding him. Nijisanji deleted all of his accounts including both his [=YouTube=] account and his Twitter due to him breaching his contract. He apparently made inappropriate tweets and leaked other Vtubers' personal data, although the information surrounding the controversy is dubious. Neither Nijisanji nor any of the other members have said his name or referred to him after the event. His suspension happened after only two videos, making him the quickest retiring member.
