Kizuna no Allele’s Plot
In this story, Kizuna AI disappeared after winning a huge award. The anime follows a girl named Miracle as she enrolls at Aden Academy, where she meets other students aspiring to be virtual singers.
About Kizuna AI
Kizuna no Allele debuted at Kizuna AI The Last Live “hello, world 2022,” the VTuber’s final concert before her current indefinite hiatus.
Nozomi Kasuga joined Kizuna Ai Co., Ltd. as an adviser in April 2020, formally confirming that she is the character’s voice actress. Activ8, the talent agency that manages Kizuna Ai and other virtual YouTuber talent, founded the company.
The staff cited “future activities to further develop Kizuna AI” as the reason for the break. Kizuna (#KZN), an original singing CeVIO AI, was also unveiled at the concert. While Kizuna Ai is sleeping, #KZN is “serving as a hub to connect with everyone to support Kizuna Ai and its creators.” (CeVIO is a software suite that incorporates voice synthesis.)
En Morikura, the original character designer for Kizuna AI, created the AI, with character concept art by Keigo Inoue.
Kizuna AI debuted in 2016 and continued to become a pioneer of the VTuber (Virtual YouTuber) phenomenon, which captivated both Japanese and international audiences. She sings, dances, plays games, and does other things as a self-proclaimed artificial intelligence, both inside and outside of her YouTube channels.
Her main channel has more than 3 million subscribers, and her “A.I. Games” channel has more than 1.51 million. She has since appeared in television shows and commercials, as well as performed as a musician.

Kizuna Ai also appeared in the 2018 science fiction anime Ingress and the 2018 psychological horror anime Magical Girl Site. The former revolves around an organization that discovers an unusual type of matter called “eXotic matter” and attempts to use it to control the human mind. At the same time, the latter tells the story of a young girl who is drawn into a virtual “fight-or-die” world where she must struggle to survive against an array of cute but deadly magical girl warriors.
