Tsunderia was a US-based VTuber agency based in Los Angeles, California.[1][2] Their goal was the production and development of VTubers and quality entertainment through creator support, including management of daily streams, assistance with initial design and further development, engaging content creation both physically and digitally, promotion with channel growth and brand identity (including promoting VTubers to the Western market and expanding the industry), and support through resources such as AR and VR technology.
They are partnered with VTube Studio, an app for face tracking and animating Live 2D models. They were also one of the earliest known US-based VTuber companies.
