nizima ACTION!! is a free browser-based video editor from Live2D that now integrates VOICEVOX text-to-speech and a growing roster of official Live2D sample models from the Tohoku Zunko and Zundamon Project, including Zundamon, Shikoku Metan, and Ankomon. A desktop version with offline startup and local saving is planned.
Live2D's free browser-based video editor nizima ACTION!! has expanded twice in 2026, each update adding tools for creating voiced videos with Live2D models. In May, the editor gained the Subtitles and Speech Synthesis feature, integrating the text-to-speech system VOICEVOX. Users can generate character voices by typing text, adjust speech speed, pitch, volume, and intonation, and add the audio to the timeline with one click. The same update added a Live2D model of Zundamon to the asset library, illustrated by Ahiru Sakamoto, with lip-sync support for VOICEVOX, preset motions and expressions, hand tracking, and compatibility with tracking apps like nizima LIVE and VTube Studio.
In July, Live2D released models of Shikoku Metan and Ankomon, also illustrated by Sakamoto Ahiru, bringing the editor's official sample models to five characters from the Tohoku Zunko and Zundamon Project. Each new model includes over 50 facial expressions and motions, supports hand tracking, and can be driven in real time through tracking apps. The models are available as sample assets in the material collection and are also distributed free on the project's official site. Live2D plans to add models for Tohoku Zunko, Tohoku Kiritan, and Tohoku Itako, the Tohoku Three Sisters, also illustrated by Sakamoto Ahiru.
Both updates emphasize the editor's role as a one-stop tool for VOICEVOX-based video creation, with lip-sync and voice generation happening entirely in the browser. Users must comply with each character's terms of use and include credit notation, such as "VOICEVOX: Shikoku Metan." The beta version is free with a nizima account. Live2D is developing a desktop version with offline startup and local saving, as well as collaborative editing, drawing, and user template distribution features.
