Nanashiinku

774 inc. (ナナシインク, Na Na Shi Inku), is a Japanese company dedicated to the production and management of teams of virtual talents, best known for AniMare and HoneyStrap.

As of April 2022, the company has in total over 2.8 million subscribers on YouTube, making them the fourth most subscribed Japanese VTuber agency after hololive, NIJISANJI and VSPO!. Suou Patra has the highest subscriber count out of the agency with over 605,000 subscribers.

Overview
774 inc. started activities on the spring of 2018 with the release of the thematic assembly of VTubers under AniMare. The agency formally revealed itself in June 2019, with the opening of official website that encompasses AniMare, HoneyStrap, and VApArt. Unlike other companies that build and design their in-house motion capture and body tracking technologies, 774 inc. uses software and technology created by ANYCOLOR Inc. (the same company behind NIJISANJI). Their headquarter is located in Akabane, Kita-ku, Tokyo.

2023
On 3 January, 774 inc.'s Twitter account announced VApArt's disband.

On 7 January, VApArt disbanded with a last stream featuring all members on Uge's channel. From this point on VApArt's former members are directly under 774 inc.'s managment.
