IDOL:UnderCode launched on July 2, 2026, with five characters streaming on TikTok LIVE, following a June 30 audition call for six main cast members.
IDOL:UnderCode is a fan-participatory IP project from PANDORA Inc. and L&L Victor Entertainment Inc. that combines anime, VTubers, and games in a shared timeline. On June 30, 2026, the project opened auditions for six main characters, with successful candidates set to debut as XTuber cast members performing both VTuber streaming and real-life events. The project uses AI animation with TikTok Live to let fan interactions shape character stories.
Two days later, on July 2, 2026, the project launched with five characters-Akane Kirishima, Airi Shinonome, Hiyori Hanamura, Matsuri Asahina, and Sayo Sakakibara-streaming on TikTok LIVE. The launch story describes fan support influencing storylines, animations, music, events, and game development, making the streams the primary narrative driver rather than promotional material.
The audition call listed six main cast positions, while the launch introduced five characters, suggesting one role remains unfilled or was restructured. The project's real-time fan interaction model ties audience engagement directly to narrative outcomes, with the streams serving as the primary story. No further updates or additional characters have been reported since the July 2 launch.
