On August 23rd, Spread Spring Co., Ltd. announced the launch of its AI VTuber project, “Chino Harusaki.” Her YouTube debut is planned for autumn 2026. Further updates will be released sequentially onthe official channel and social media.
Chino Harusaki is an AI VTuber whose backstory is that she was born from a white daisy and is still learning about human hearts and culture. The memory of a single flower that bloomed by a sacred spring was revived in the sea of servers and information that spreads beneath the city. Her birthday is April 6th, and she says she doesn’t remember her age. Her motifs are four things: white daisies, spring breeze, sacred springs, and electronic information. She is said to have a gentle and slightly naive personality, and sometimes stops to think when she is deep in thought.
In this project, conversations during live streams, mistakes made during games, and feedback from viewers will serve as catalysts for growth. The aim is to create a format where viewers can co-create the story through comments and participation in the project. Furthermore, collaborations with other streamers and creators are planned, and it is expected that unscripted reactions will arise from the interactions that take place in the moment.
After her debut, she plans to do casual chats, game streams, planned videos, viewer participation projects, and collaborations with VTubers and creators. In the future, she is also considering exhibiting at events, collaborating with companies and creators, and creating original merchandise.
Springspread is headquartered in Taiwan, with its Tokyo office located in Shinjuku-ku. Having previously focused on design, research and development, and manufacturing, the company established a new AI research and development department at its Japanese branch in 2024. This project is being undertaken by this new department.
