LiveCartoon LLC (合同会社ライブカートゥーン) was established in September 2016 in Tokyo, Japan, with Shohei Tsuji as its representative member. The company was founded with a focus on motion capture-based content creation, an area that was gaining traction with the rise of virtual reality and virtual YouTuber (VTuber) culture. From its base in Ginza, Chuo-ku, the company set up its own motion capture studio, which became a core asset for serving clients in the entertainment and digital content sectors. Over the years, LiveCartoon built a specialization in VTuber content production. According to its official website, its in-house studio supports more than 100 VTuber content projects annually, drawing on accumulated experience and know-how. The company expanded its service offerings to include not only studio rental but also on-location motion capture, creator introductions, VTuber content planning and production, and production consulting. Its business scope also covers 3DCG and video production, MMD-based animation, software and application development, and virtual character management. As a small limited liability company (godo kaisha) with capital of one million yen, LiveCartoon has remained privately held and independent. It has continued to update its studio capabilities, announcing a new studio system and the introduction of an ASMR microphone in 2025. The company also received media coverage in May 2025. While not a large corporate group, LiveCartoon has carved out a niche as a dedicated production partner for VTuber and motion capture projects in Japan.
