Trippy and Don't Disturb Build AI Character Streaming System for Tamahime Unveil
The companies built the system to handle response delays, speech overlap, missed Super Chats, and audio dropouts in live streams, and they plan to expand it to other VTubers and character IPs.
Reporting from 1 source: PANORA.
Trippy and Don't Disturb jointly developed a streaming system for AI characters, used to unveil AI Tamahime during VTuber Inuyama Tamaki's 8th anniversary stream on September 22, 2026. The system supports solo AI character streams and real-time co-appearances with a streamer. Under Inuyama Tamaki's supervision, Trippy handled AI and character development while Don't Disturb drove the project.
The stream ran from 23:00 on September 22, 2026, and the AI Tamahime unveiling begins at 41:14 in the archive. Tamahime is a character built on an IF premise: what if Inuyama Tamaki had been born female and led a life of singing. On stream, AI Tamahime exchanged lines with Inuyama Tamaki and answered viewer comments in real time.
The voice heard during the stream used different technology and data from the commercial text-to-speech software VoiSona Talk Tamahime, and the same voice quality cannot be reproduced with that software. Trippy is based in Shinjuku-ku and led by CEO Riku Urushihara; Don't Disturb is based in Shibuya-ku and led by Takuya Nakagawa.
