Sasazaki Kiki Joins NIJIN Project School Drawing Event
Project School books VTubers as instructors and uses a drawing tool as the draw, which tells you the program is buying reach through the hobbies children already hold rather than through curriculum.

NIJIN Inc.'s Project School held a summer vacation drawing exchange on August 28, 2026, with VTuber Sasazaki Kiki as instructor. Elementary and junior high students from across the country were split into three groups and drew together on a shared canvas in real time. Kiki visited each room, spoke to children individually, and answered questions on character design, illustration work, and keeping a YouTube channel going.
The event ran online at the end of summer vacation, with a picture chat tool that let every participant draw on the same canvas at once. Children were divided into groups A, B, and C, and Kiki moved between the rooms to draw alongside them and talk to each child directly.
A whole-group Q&A took up the second half. Asked how she comes up with character designs, Kiki described using dress-up makers and combining favorite elements through trial and error. Asked about the most fun part of drawing, she named facial expressions. Talk also turned to games the children are playing, including Splatoon, Final Fantasy 14, and ENDER MAGNOLIA. When one participant who runs a YouTube channel said video ideas were hard to sustain, Kiki advised keeping one easy idea that can be continued without overdoing it.
