## About

Founded in 2021 and based in Tokyo, Japan, Virtualize Co., Ltd. creates and offers a program for virtual live distribution. As of January 2023, Eitetsu Komiyama serves as the CEO of the company. In January 2023, Virtualize Co., Ltd. raised seed funding from Hakobune, Nagoya TV Ventures, and MIRAISE. This round was part of a larger JPY 70 million equity and debt financing.

The company provides a platform for virtual cooperation with creators from many industries, as well as for the creation of new stars and cultures. The firm specialises in the real-time delivery of music and provides the StarLi application, which enables users to create avatars and use them for virtual live performances. Virtualize uses a one-of-a-kind AI system that can automatically apply effects to any song, as well as graphics technology that enables CG effects.

The organisation plans to use the January 2023 funding for the development and implementation of avatar makeup functions and events based on music, dance, and fashion.
