PANDORA Inc. and L&L Victor Entertainment Inc. launched the fan-participatory IP project IDOL:UnderCode on July 2, 2026. Five main characters-Akane Kirishima, Airi Shinonome, Hiyori Hanamura, Matsuri Asahina, and Sayo Sakakibara-began streaming on TikTok LIVE. The project links anime, VTubers, and games in a shared timeline, with fan support influencing storylines, animations, music, events, and game development.
The five characters of IDOL:UnderCode are now live on TikTok, but the streams are not marketing-they are the story itself. PANDORA Inc. and L&L Victor Entertainment Inc. describe the project as a cyclical IP that connects anime, VTubers, and games within the same world and timeline. Fan comments, choices, and support during the TikTok LIVE broadcasts will shape future short animations, music releases, live events, and game content. The characters grow based on real-time interaction, and their paths change with audience energy.
- Akane Kirishima: A passionate leader type from an underworld family, aiming for the top.
- Airi Shinonome: Akane's childhood friend, cool on the surface but naturally absent-minded.
- Hiyori Hanamura: A shy girl with a healing voice, finding resolve to face the stage again.
- Matsuri Asahina: A lively mood maker from Asakusa, bringing energy and dance.
- Sayo Sakakibara: A director type who designs the stage with intellect and aesthetic sense.
