The company also announced that Tokyo Otaku Mode has released a new line of merchandise featuring the 2026 ambassadors, with pre-orders now available.
In addition, a new initiative titled “hololive Meet STARS Navigator” was introduced. COVER Corporation said the project is intended to offer fans “a new angle” on hololive Meet activities, with further details to be announced through the project’s official website and social media channels.
hololive Meet was first announced in 2023 as a way for fans to get closer to the agency’s VTubers through event appearances and meetups. The agency previously stated that they planned to launch said initiative to hold more overseas events in various forms, including booths at conventions, guest appearances by their talent at overseas events, and self-organized events.
The initiative’s first ambassadors were Sakura Miko, Kureiji Ollie, IRyS, Yukoku Roberu, and Regis Altare in 2023. They were then followed by Shirakami Fubuki, Kobo Kanaeru, Hakos Baelz, Minase Rio, and Banzoin Hakka for 2024; and Aragami Oga, Octavio, Vestia Zeta, Momosuzu Nene, Koseki Bijou, and Otonose Kanade for 2025.
