MUGEN LIVE (also written as MUGEN-LIVE or just ML for short) and formerly known as 萌咲学园/Moesaki Academy/Méngxiào Xuéyuán, is a Chinese VTuber and Virtual UP (VUP) agency operated by Brave Group China. In August 2021, the agency started operations as Moesaki Academy with the debut of its first 3 members. In June 2022, it was acquired by Brave Group under its new subsidiary, And Epoch Inc. and later consolidated into their Brave Group China subsidiary the following year.
Its talents mainly stream on Bilibili, but since 2023 a growing number of multilingual indie VTubers from overseas have also joined the agency. Brave Group bills MUGEN LIVE as a "multilingual VTuber project" on their publications due to its large number of multilingual talents. In October 2025, all members of VSPO!'s China branch transferred into MUGEN LIVE after VSPO! CN's closure.

Trivia[]
- Yoki from Gen 2 lived overseas (i.e. outside of China), which allowed her to have YouTube and Twitter accounts. She also promoted her activities on Reddit as well.
- Takatsuki Ritsu is MUGEN LIVE's first Japanese member and also its first solo talent.
- Inazuma SuperSpeed is MUGEN LIVE's first primarily English-speaking member.
- He streams in English on YouTube and uploads videos in English on Bilibili. He admitted on debut that he was still learning both Japanese and Chinese, which means he is likely not multilingual like the other solo members.[12]
- Hananashi Nano is the first MUGEN LIVE member to not have a Bilibili channel.
- She streams in Japanese on YouTube, describing her activities as a way to become fluent in Japanese. She introduced herself as an international student VTuber from the Panda country (i.e. China). This is the opposite situation for the other overseas solo members, who are mostly Japanese but are streaming in Chinese on Bilibili.[11]

Notes[]
- ↑ Some of the former indie members likely joined the agency (as a "guild") so that they can stream on Bilibili while keeping their identities safe. China has a law and regulations on the identities of streamers (including VTubers) and other social media influencers that require them to disclose their real identities to the government.
- ↑ Pastel Uyu originally started as a Japanese VTuber on YouTube, but later deleted her channel and moved to streaming on Bilibili.
- ↑ Hosimiya Sio's membership is unannounced, but Brave Group has her image among the 2025 members of MUGEN LIVE on at least two occasions (see Gallery).
- ↑ This image is from October 16 at the earliest, since ex-VSPO! CN members are included. Administer and Fuuwa are missing, indicating that they might have already left the agency at some point after April.
