SPRIX Co., Ltd. announced the debut of three second-generation VTubers-Hinagi Himawari, Shinra Eiru, and Arisugawa Aone-for its VTuber project SPRIX Academy. The project operates on YouTube and focuses on learning and entertainment content for junior high and high school students. A quiz special with seven guests was streamed on May 17, 2026 to celebrate the debut.
The three new members are Hinagi Himawari, described as a girl who loves singing and dancing; Shinra Eiru, a cheerleader character good at sports and cooking; and Arisugawa Aone, a curious young lady who holds a black belt in karate. Each has designated strong subjects: Himawari excels in English and Music, Shinra in Science and Math, and Arisugawa in Japanese and History. The characters are students at a fictional combined junior and senior high school called SPRIX Academy, set in a virtual space.
To mark the debut, SPRIX Academy streamed a quiz special on May 17, 2026, featuring eight VTubers competing in quizzes on erudition, common sense, and ranking. The company plans future collaborations with expert VTubers and YouTubers, as well as program-style projects.
