## About

Founded in 2021 and based in Tokyo, Japan, Blackbox Inc. creates and manages intellectual property (IP) for entertainment. In June 2024, Blackbox Inc. raised JPY 80 million in seed funding from ANOBAKA and Nissay Capital. As of 2024, the company is led by its CEO, Ryusuke Sakamoto.

Blackbox provides intellectual property-based entertainment content. The firm offers a variety of services, including VTuber production, media mixing, and live music events. VTubers are virtual YouTubers who use avatars instead of showing their real faces. The company’s product line includes LoVVebox, which is a 2.5-dimensional IP, which means they can be active both virtually and in the real world through live streaming on YouTube, events, and live music.

The company plans to use the funds raised in January 2024 to grow the 2.5D VTuber idol group and provide new content.
