**Aichi Prefectural Police commissioned V-Tuber to be a one-day communication commander on â??Day 110â?**
On the 10th of “Day 110”, the Aichi Prefectural Police commissioned the V-tuber ‘s “Kirameki Hiiro” to the one-day communication commander. VTubers are virtual characters that are active on video sites, with the aim of getting many people to know how to properly call 911.
Hiiro Kirameki is a 16-year-old girl who promotes activities to spread the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). On this day, the prefectural police posted a video on the official prefectural police channel. Sugiyama, the head of the section, said, “It’s meaningful to have V-tubers, who are popular among young people, kindly and politely communicate.”
According to the department, about 610,000 emergency calls were made last year. About 150,000 of them were non-essential, with some asking, “Did Japan win the World Cup?” Sugiyama said, “We want you to keep in mind to report appropriately, as it will delay the response to really necessary cases.”
