Reporting from 1 source: KAI-YOU.
The doujin circle Kaze to Virtual is distributing the VTuber Conversion Dictionary, an IME dictionary that converts readings into VTuber names. It contains 18,515 words covering about 10,000 VTubers, including full names and given names. The dictionary works with Microsoft IME, Google Japanese Input, ATOK, and macOS Japanese input. It sells for 1,800 yen on BOOTH.
The dictionary maps readings to names, so typing "kougaryuuninjaponpokopon" converts to "Kouga Ryuuninja! Ponpoko." Both full names and given names are registered; "kizunaai" or "ai" both bring up Kizuna AI as a candidate.
Creator Topunrop built the data with files for each environment, including TSV (UTF-16LE), a plist for macOS, and an Excel file for browsing and editing. Commercial use is allowed, with applications such as doujinshi production, clip editing, collaboration streams, and Wikipedia editing.
The selection criteria are not public. Some entries use short readings that match everyday words, so unintended candidates may appear. No updates or new registration requests are planned, and downloads end on August 15, 2027.
