to let fans around the world meet, perform with, and connect to their favorite characters through cutting-edge VR technology.

Why Gakugeki?
We began as an amateur VR development team brought together by a shared love for anime and games.
Our dream was to build a virtual world just like those seen in anime and light novels—
a world where you could literally step into the screen.
That dream became Gakugeki Inc.
Our product is constantly evolving.
Our goal is to break down the boundaries between people and virtual characters.
To put it simply from a business perspective:
We aim to update the world’s entertainment experience.
