KIWI design Launches VR Creator Support Program in Japan, Partnering with VRChat Pianist 'Tomoshou'

KIWI design (headquartered in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, China), a global brand of VR accessories, is pleased to announce the launch of its 'Creator Support Program.' Aimed at achieving 'true localization' and contributing to VR culture in the Japanese market, this program will provide multifaceted support for individual creators operating in virtual worlds.

As the first phase of this initiative, the company has entered into a partnership with Tomoshou, a pianist who captivates numerous users with heartwarming piano performances, primarily within the social VR platform 'VRChat.'

■ Program Philosophy: Supporting 'Human Warmth' Beyond the VR Boom

As technology evolves, the enthusiasm surrounding VR will inevitably change shape. However, KIWI design is convinced that even if the buzzword 'VR' settles down, the 'human connections' nurtured in virtual worlds, the 'music' played there, and the 'warmth' of people will never disappear.

We do not consider our products to be mere 'peripherals.' Hardware serves as the stage for creators to shine, and the content and expression unfolding there are the very soul of the VR world. Serving as the infrastructure that supports this 'soul,' KIWI design aims to be a brand that is deeply rooted in Japanese VR culture and seamlessly integrated into players' daily lives.

■ First Partner: Co-creation with Pianist Tomoshou

Welcomed as the program's inaugural partner, Tomoshou continues to provide special musical moments within VRChat as a 'VR Pianist.'
Tomoshou's passion for 'delivering pleasant tones' resonated deeply with KIWI design's mission of 'supporting immersion with a comfortable fit,' leading to this collaboration. Moving forward, we will undertake initiatives to improve the quality of music experiences in the metaverse through equipment support for performance events and joint information dissemination.

■ Future Outlook: Expanding Support for Software and Virtual Spaces

This partnership is just the beginning of KIWI design's long-term support plan. Looking ahead, the company envisions expanding its sponsorships beyond individual creators to encompass 'virtual space platforms,' including in-space events, world creation on social VR platforms, and software development.

We deeply respect the diverse and delicate VR ecosystem built by Japanese users. Going beyond the boundaries of a hardware manufacturer, we aspire to be a partner that mutually supports the growth of the community.

■ Invitation to Chou Meta Fes 2026

At the 'Chou Meta Fes 2026,' scheduled to be held in Akihabara on May 23, 2026, the KIWI design booth will feature exhibitions related to the details of this program and the collaboration with Tomoshou. We sincerely invite you to visit the venue to experience KIWI design's vision for the future of VR and our commitment to the community.
