ARRI Virtual, a Myanmar-based VTuber production company, organized the country's first VTuber Exhibition at the Japan Foundation branch in Yangon on June 20. The agency pitched the event as a bridge between Japanese pop culture and Myanmar's local creative scene. Participating talents included ARRI's Nyanoh, Sasayaka Lumi, Seika Marionette, Amanogawa, Hoshimi Ritsu, Kasumi Toka, and Danny Amberynth, alongside independent creators Aria, Elio Fuyuki, Kana Hiyasawa, Isumi, and Soutakun.
The exhibition featured a VTuber Avatar Experience with Nyanoh, a Live2D rigging session with moon fox Aria, and a VTuber/VSinger starter pack with Toka. Screens around the venue showcased the creators' works. Organizers said they did not expect a full house, but attendees arrived continuously throughout the day and stayed for hours. Participants requested deeper technical breakdowns and more educational materials in Burmese, which ARRI Virtual took as confirmation that the event motivated attendees to learn VTubing mechanics.
