VTuber Project RINNEKO Launched From Silver Vine Energy Drink HICAT!
The launch of the VTuber project RINNEKO was announced by HICAT, the silver vine-infused energy drink that went on sale in May 2023. The first generation character, NiBOSHI, is a cat girl living in the virtual space RINNEKO, featuring a distinct silver and purple gradient. Additionally, her charm point is her heterochromia, with a yellow right eye and a blue left eye. Her character design was created by the illustrator Yuu (@youcapriccio).
Comment From Illustrator Yuu
I really love the design of HICAT; it is very stylish! I designed her with the goal of creating a fashionable visual that wouldn't look out of place standing next to it. I am looking forward to her future activities!

Story
In the year 2XXX, the virtual space RINNEKO became a massive hit, allowing humans exhausted by the real world to take the form of cats and lead a second life. The cats in this world lived as they pleased, residing happily without suffering, but... The cats living in RINNEKO have changed their appearance and are making their debut to fulfill their dreams of becoming VTubers!
