IRIAM Brings One of Japan’s Leading Vtuber-Focused Live Streaming Platforms to the U.S. for iOS and Android Devices

Mobile app offers Vtubers and their fans unparalleled interactive experiences with almost-zero latency

TOKYO, JAPAN – November 15, 2024 – DeNA Co., Ltd., has announced that the beta version of IRIAM, one of Japan’s
leading Vtuber-focused live streaming platforms, is now available in the U.S. for iOS and Android devices. Launched in Japan in
2018, IRIAM has generated over 3.9 million downloads and hosts over 10,000 daily unique streams, allowing Vtubers and their
fans to interact in real-time through seamless, almost zero-latency streams. IRIAM’s intuitive interface makes it easy for fans to
participate in engaging conversations and performances, send virtual gifts, and take part in community events — right from their
mobile device.

Some of IRIAM’s key features include:

● Bigger Interactions in a Smaller Space: Fans can interact directly with their favorite Vtubers to foster a dynamic and
engaging environment optimized for mobile devices. With the ability to send stars (similar to“likes” on other platforms),
comments, and virtual gifts, fans can actively shape the stream and the community.
● Real-Time Interactions with Almost Zero-Latency: IRIAM delivers ultra-smooth, high-quality streams with virtually no
lag, allowing fans to feel like they’re part of a live in-person conversation or performance. Fans can even contribute to
the stream, as virtual gifts turn into stage effects that become part of the show for all to see.
● In-App Events: Special in-app events provide fans with the opportunity to collaborate with each other and their favorite
Vtubers to earn exclusive rewards.

IRIAM was awarded Japan’s Best Virtual Live Streaming App at the Sensor Tower APAC Awards 2022 and aims to foster
deeper connections and build global fan communities for Vtubers with its U.S. launch. “We [IRIAM] serve as a place for people
to express their true selves through animated characters, and we have grown steadily with support from the many Vtubers,
streamers, and viewers who enjoy our service,” said Shinya Masuda, Representative Director of IRIAM. “Since the beginning
our team has wanted to share our unique approach and this experience with people around the world, and as a first step we
have been working on this US launch. I am confident that IRIAM, a service specially designed for mobile, will be a wonderful
new Vtuber experience connecting hearts that is enjoyed by the U.S. users.”

Founding Streamers: The Faces of IRIAM
Founding Streamers are a select group of Vtubers who will be the first to go live on IRIAM when it launches in the U.S. Nearly
80 Founding Streamers will debut, with more added over time. During the app’s beta period, only Founding Streamers will be
able to stream with Live2D® models. Please check out the various personalities and characters coming to IRIAM via the official

Miria and Shirasu: The Official Characters of IRIAM
The platform’s guiding presence, Miria, and mascot, Shirasu, reflect IRIAM’s forward-thinking philosophy. Miria’s name is
derived from the Japanese word for “future” (MIRAI) and represents the colorful, creative world that IRIAM brings to its users,
while Shirasu, a cat-like character with a love for small fish, adds a playful nature to the platform.
