Live2D Inc. announced Live2D Chapters, a system that officially certifies and supports user-run regional communities. The company has held its annual user event "alive" in Tokyo since 2014, but with overseas users making up about 70 percent of Live2D Cubism users, demand for local events grew. Instead of Live2D deploying events worldwide from Tokyo, the Chapters system lets local users operate their own groups with official sponsorship, PR cooperation, and support for one annual signature event per chapter.
The first chapter, Live2D Taipei Chapter, held its inaugural Chartered Gathering on April 30, 2026, drawing approximately 85 participants from across Taiwan. Chapter leaders Huza A Zhe and Dan Tou organized the event, which included technical exchanges, work sharing, and networking. Chapters in Jakarta and Seoul are scheduled for late May 2026, with plans for Perth, Toronto, Sao Paulo, and other locations. Live2D aims to establish 20 chapters in Japan and abroad by the end of fiscal year 2026.
