Peanuts-kun is a member of the VTuber unit PokoPie with Ponpoko. The unit's planetarium program PokoPie Planetaria is scheduled to screen at Planetaria TOKYO in Yurakucho from November 19 to November 23, running 10 times a day, once hourly, across five days.
Peanuts-kun is a VTuber who appears mainly as half of the unit PokoPie, with Ponpoko. The two operate without an agency. Their work across 2026 has moved between a browser game, a planetarium program, and a unit name that appears in two forms: PokoPie in the planetarium story and Pokopea in the game story.
In September, the unit released the free browser game Pokopea in The Backrooms on September 7. The game tied into the Japanese release of the A24 film Backrooms, which opened in Japan on September 4. Players move through three stages, photographing Pokopea-themed objects as evidence while avoiding an unknown creature in Normal mode, or focusing on photography in Peaceful mode. Clearing one stage opened a made-to-order merchandise page. Clearing all three earned a wallpaper for PC and smartphone. The merchandise sale ran until September 20 at 23:59, with shipping planned for mid-to-late December, and the game site was available until September 20.
The planetarium program followed. PokoPie Planetaria will run 35 minutes, 10 times a day, once hourly, across five days from November 19 to November 23 at Planetaria TOKYO in Yurakucho. It is scheduled to run at the same time in VRChat. Tickets go on sale first-come, first-served from 10:00 on October 17.

VTuber unit Pokopea, made up of Koga-ryu Ninja Ponpoko and Peanuts-kun, released the free browser game Pokopea in The Backrooms on September 7. The game is a collaboration with the A24 film Backrooms, which opened in Japan on September 4. Players move through three stages, photographing Pokopea-themed objects as evidence while avoiding an unknown creature in Normal mode, or focusing on photography in Peaceful mode. Clearing a single stage opens a made-to-order limited merchandise page, and clearing all three stages earns a wallpaper for PC and smartphone. The merchandise sale runs until September 20 at 23:59, with shipping planned for mid-to-late December. The game site is available for a limited time until September 20. The collaboration is part of a wider push around the film's Japanese release, which also includes the Q LIMINAL spatial experience event at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro from September 11 to 20.
Kizuna AI celebrated her birthday on June 30, 2026, with a 3D live and collaboration stream featuring Sakura Miko, Mori Calliope, and others. The pioneer of the VTuber scene, active since November 29, 2016, is approaching her 10th year, prompting a two-part analysis of whether VTubers are idols.
