Streamer k4sen revealed a new VTuber form on a June 14 Twitch stream. The character, named Shinpo-kun, is a white fluffy mascot with Live2D modeling and interchangeable parts, designed by illustrator Touma Yuu. It will be used primarily for YouTube streams from home. This is k4sen's third VTuber transformation, following a 2018 hyper-realistic model and a 2024 realistic avatar for the Qiddiya Gaming booth at Tokyo Game Show.
k4sen's new VTuber form is a white fluffy mascot named Shinpo-kun, designed and modeled by illustrator Touma Yuu. The character originated from a quick sketch k4sen drew during a stream as a placeholder for his face on YouTube, inspired by the commercial avatar Nonbiri Tororu he used in VRChat. The Live2D model includes interchangeable parts and gimmicks such as crying, pulling out a gun or credit card, and stretching its body. The eyes are simple dots but the model supports a wide range of expressions. Shinpo-kun will also become a Twitch membership stamp with additional poses.
