WACTOR



WACTOR Production (ワクタプロダクション Wakuta Purodakushon), also known as WACTOR for short, is an agency of VTubers managed by the company of the same name.

In early 2019, it began reaching Chinese audiences, and on January 2021, Spanish-speaking audiences.

Background
WACTOR Production began as a Vtuber unit named Mirais (みらいず Miraizu) which was formed on March 2019, with Hizuki Miu, Irisu Mia and Otogi Lilu as its first three members. WACTOR was eventually established as company on July 2019.

2019
On 3 October 2019, WACTOR's twitter account announced auditions for six new members for a sister unit. Over the following days, WACTOR introduced five of their new talents: Mihana Rio, Komori Aina, Tsukito Hana and Mashiro Yuyu, who would form the new sister unit; Kogure Piyoko, who would join Mirais, and an unknown silhouette, who would be later revealed to be Mitsurugi Lia.

On 25 October, Otogi Lilu announced her retirement via Twitter. She graduated on 16 November 2019.

On 21 November, WACTOR introduced Mitsurugi Lia, a new member for Mirais.

2020
On 11 January, Irisu Mia announced her retirement via Twitter, and graduated on 29 February.

On 26 January, a large amount of data about upcoming members was deleted from the company's cloud storage. After it was found that one of the many IPs involved belonged to a former employee, on 12 March Komori Aina's and Mashiro Yuyu's contracts were cancelled, and Mirais and its sister unit were merged into one group simply called "WACTOR".

On 28 January, WACTOR introduced Nanaha Rui, their first bilibili-exclusive Vtuber (or Virtual UP).

During January and February, WACTOR's talents began expanding towards Spanish-speaking fanbases. On 16 January, Hizuki Miu was the first to publish a presentation video in Spanish, followed by Mitsurugi Lia on 19 January,, Tsukito Hana on 24 January, and Kogure Piyoko on 10 February.

On 17 March, WACTOR's twitter account announced auditions endorsed by bilibili for five new members, from 17 March to 5 April.
