Kaso Shojo

Kaso Shojo (仮想少女, Virtual Girl) was a project by Neo Motion Entertainment, a new company located in Shibuya, Tokyo. It aims to create a virtual idol YouTuber using fan input and direction.

There were Makuake and Kickstarter projects, which required funding of 20 and 10 million yen (~$177K and ~$88K USD) respectively by 28 January 2019 for the project to occur. As of 09 Dec 2018 these were at 9% and 1% of their end goal respectively. The funding end date passed without either of the targets being reached (both required 100% of target, but were at 71.3% and 1.3% respectively).

As of 01 February 2019, the girls with the lowest scores (Luv, Mana, Lilia) were not able to progress past the qualifying audition.

The project was dissolved on 31 October 2021, citing economic problems relating to COVID-19 pandemic and trend changes within the VTuber industry, which made difficult to continue its operation. Its talents would continue their activities as indies.
