Kaede Higuchi is a Nijisanji virtual liver scheduled to appear as a guest on the official Mabinogi Mobile Japan program on August 24, 2026, and is part of the six-liver Cherry Cherish merchandise lineup that launched July 9, 2026.
Kaede Higuchi is a Nijisanji virtual liver whose recent activities center on two distinct appearances. In July, she was one of six livers featured in Cherry Cherish, a coordinated merchandise release themed around cherries, with products ranging from 350 yen cards to 3,500 yen plushies. The lineup, which also included Mito Tsukino, Yuka Shiina, Ririmu Makai, Meruto Kuramochi, and Berry Saotome, launched at the Nijisanji Official Store on July 9, 2026.
In August, Higuchi was announced as a guest on the official program for Mabinogi Mobile, an online RPG launching in Japan within 2026. The program, streaming on August 24 at 8 PM, will feature host Chunii and voice actors Tomomi Isomura and Tomoaki Ono alongside Higuchi. The broadcast will show new gameplay footage and reveal information about pre-launch campaigns.
Higuchi's role in both projects is as a promotional presence, leveraging her Nijisanji identity to connect with audiences. The Mabinogi Mobile program brings her into a title that already holds a Presidential Award from the 2025 Korea Game Awards, though the program itself is focused on the Japanese launch. The Cherry Cherish release represents a broader trend of coordinated goods within Nijisanji, with Higuchi as one of the participating livers.
