Metatropi Inc. announced the launch of a new VTuber group called Yonjo-han Project (Yonpro) on June 10, 2026, and opened auditions to recruit four members who will work together as a group. The company, which already operates the VTuber group Aslla beStar, said Yonpro emphasizes members sharing a common worldview while collaboratively building the group's atmosphere and content. Applications are accepted via the official audition website until July 8, 2026. Eligible applicants are women aged 18 or older who can communicate in Japanese; no prior streaming or video posting experience is required, and independent talents may also apply. Successful candidates will receive Live2D models and streaming equipment from the office. Compensation is a fixed salary plus revenue-sharing model. The selection process has four stages: document and video screening, an online interview, a streaming review, and an offline interview. The company stated it wants applicants who enjoy anime, games, streaming culture, or creating content with others.
Metatropi Inc., which operates the existing VTuber group Aslla beStar (nicknamed Asurabi or Asulabi), said the new project is a deliberate shift in approach. The company stated that for VTubers working as a group, "the relationships among members, projects, and the culture itself have the appeal of becoming content." Yonjo-han Project is designed to emphasize members sharing a common worldview while collaboratively building the group's atmosphere and content.
The four selected candidates will begin activities as a group. While respecting each member's individuality and activity policy, they will also engage in group activities such as collaboration streams and joint projects. The company particularly welcomes applicants who enjoy anime, games, streaming culture, or creating content with others.
Successful applicants will be provided with character models for VTuber activities by the office. The management will also support preparations and environment setup for starting activities. Compensation is a fixed salary plus revenue-sharing model, and the management has established a support system so that members can focus on activities from the early stages of their debut. Details of compensation and activity conditions will be individually communicated during the selection process. Applications are accepted via the official audition website at https://yonpro-audition.studio.site.
