Why it matters
Asahara Giken is putting Izumi in front of exhibition crowds about once a month and rewriting her between venues, so the character is being built through trade show floors before the January 2027 debut rather than through streaming.

It follows October's CEATEC 2026 at Makuhari Messe as her second live venue. Her official debut is scheduled for January 2027.
The Yokohama stage is a measurement table, not a song stage. A visitor asks Izumi to run a measurement, and the character on the monitor connects the devices, raises the camera, moves the stage, projects 32 stripe patterns and captures images, then explains the point cloud and cross-section by voice. No human touches the equipment during the run.
Asahara Giken began the exhibition software on September 29 and revised it through three stages in about four weeks: fixed lines, then a guide who demonstrates when spoken to, then an exhibition staffer who greets visitors, summarizes conversations into minutes, reads business cards and outputs a daily report. The Yokohama build is a different version from Makuhari's.
