Masahiro Inoue Builds A Tokusatsu Drama Inside VRChat

Inoue is an established tokusatsu actor producing his own tokusatsu drama inside a social VR platform rather than through a conventional production pipeline, which puts a working genre performer and the VRChat creators around him on the same production.

Masahiro Inoue Builds A Tokusatsu Drama Inside VRChat

Masahiro Inoue, the actor who played Tsukasa Kadoya in Kamen Rider Decade, posted on X on February 28, 2026 asking for help with VRChat worlds and avatars. He formed a VRChat group in March, launched a joint world project, held a two-day music live in May that lost its first day and ran two hours late on the second, then staged the Masahiro Inoue Debug Festival in July as a one-day rematch. He is now filming a tokusatsu drama inside VRChat and took part in Virtual Market 2026 Summer.

By July, with the event cut to a single day, Inoue also worked as actor and director on a hero show at Aoyama Shoji's booth during Virtual Market 2026 Summer. The tokusatsu drama he is filming inside VRChat is being made alongside the live events rather than after them. The creators he met are part of the work: the group and the joint world project, Warashibe World, formed in the weeks after his February post on X. What he asked for at the start was practical help with worlds and avatars. The output now runs to multi-venue lives and in-engine filming.
