The models, illustrated by Sakamoto Ahiru, follow the Zundamon model added in May of the same year. Each model includes over 50 facial expressions and motions, supports hand tracking, and can be driven in real time through tracking apps such as nizima LIVE and VTube Studio. The editor also integrates with the text-to-speech software VOICEVOX, allowing users to generate character voices and sync them with the models' lip movements entirely within the browser-based tool. The models are available as sample assets in the material collection and are also distributed free on the Tohoku Zunko and Zundamon Project's official site. Live2D plans to add models for Tohoku Zunko, Tohoku Kiritan, and Tohoku Itako, collectively known as the Tohoku Three Sisters, also illustrated by Sakamoto Ahiru. Users must comply with each character's terms of use and include credit notation, such as \"VOICEVOX: Shikoku Metan.\"","whyItMatters":"The addition expands the free editor's roster of official sample models to five characters from the Tohoku Zunko and Zundamon Project, strengthening its appeal as a one-stop tool for VOICEVOX-based video creation.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eLive2D president Tetsuya Nakajo is named in the press release, and the company is based in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
