nizima ACTION!! is Live2D's free browser-based video editor, now carrying a growing roster of official Live2D models and an integrated VOICEVOX text-to-speech feature. The most recent addition is a Kasukabe Tsumugi model announced on September 10, 2026, and a desktop version plus collaborative editing are in development.
Live2D's free browser editor nizima ACTION!! started this run of coverage in May 2026 with its Subtitles and Speech Synthesis feature, which integrated the text-to-speech system VOICEVOX. Users could type text, generate a character voice including Zundamon, adjust speed, pitch, volume, and intonation, and drop the audio onto the timeline in one click. The same update added a Zundamon Live2D model illustrated by Ahiru Sakamoto to the asset library, along with eight other models from the Tohoku Zunko and Zundamon Project shop, among them Tohoku Zunko, Tohoku Kiritan, and Shikoku Metan. VOICEVOX supported 37 characters at that point.
In July 2026, Live2D released models of Shikoku Metan and Ankomon, again illustrated by Sakamoto Ahiru. Each carried over 50 facial expressions and motions, supported hand tracking, and could be driven in real time through nizima LIVE and VTube Studio. The editor's VOICEVOX integration let users generate voices and sync lip movements inside the browser. The models appeared as sample assets and were also distributed free on the project's official site. Live2D said models for Tohoku Zunko, Tohoku Kiritan, and Tohoku Itako were planned.
The September 10, 2026 announcement added a Kasukabe Tsumugi model, illustrated by Sakamoto Ahiru, with more than 40 expressions and motions, free to use, hand tracking included, and operable through nizima LIVE and VTube Studio. It works with VOICEVOX, so text input, voice synthesis, and lip sync finish inside the editor, and the model is distributed free on KASUKABEproject's Booth. Use requires compliance with each character's terms and credit notation such as "VOICEVOX: Kasukabe Tsumugi." The editor stays free with a nizima account, while a desktop version and collaborative editing features remain in development.
