Kizuna AI, one of the earliest and most prominent VTubers, has resumed activities under the name "KizunaAI" and signed an agent contract with Asobisystem to expand her music career internationally. Recent developments also associate her presence with broader digital human and virtual influencer trends, as seen in various mentions of her role in immersive experiences, digital ballet projects, and tourism-related AI guides. These activities position Kizuna AI as both a cultural icon and a representative case of the convergence between virtual idols and digital human technologies.
