Self-organized VTuber units in Nijisanji are growing from side projects into official-level activity, with event debuts, merchandise, and a scheduled musical. The piece profiles four units: Nanajigen Seitokai, which launched in 2023 and set the current wave, and three channels that began in 2026: Cellmates, Ultimate Creators, and 2-ji kara 3-ji no Sharehouse. Kou Uzuki said the three starting together was coincidence, not coordination; 3D studio capacity forced batch recording.
The piece traces how VTuber-led units moved from side projects to official support. Official program units like ROF-MAO and ChroNoiR, the latter of which grew to a Budokan live event, set the pattern. Self-organized pairs existed from the early days, including Maimoto Rikiichi and Oriko, but the 2023 launch of Nanajigen Seitokai created the current wave, pairing 3D variety with original songs. In 2026 three more channels began: Cellmates, Ultimate Creators, and 2-ji kara 3-ji no Sharehouse. Kou Uzuki said the simultaneous start was coincidence, not coordination, with 3D studio capacity forcing batch recordings.
- Nanajigen Seitokai: started 2023; weekly Wednesday uploads, original songs, and a standalone musical set for 2027
- Cellmates: 2018 debut members plus 2023 debut Sho Hoshimachi; prison-work variety concept
- Ultimate Creators: 2018-2019 debut members aiming to be the strongest video creators
- 2-ji kara 3-ji no Sharehouse: three VTubers as first-time roommates with a cute theme
