Tsuina, the Ogre Hunter Project (鬼っ子ハンターついなちゃんプロジェクト) is a project revolving around the character, Tsuina-chan, and was originally developed in 2011 and made in response to the Hinomoto Oniko Project (日本鬼子ぷろじぇくと) by former author Saki Ohenri (大辺璃紗季) featuring Mai Kadowaki. Originally starting as a voice drama series featuring Tsuina-chan, the project branched off into various manga and illustration projects as well as various sound sources and led to the development of VOICEROID and Synthesizer V libraries.[1][2]
Its parent company is legally registered as Kisaragian LLC (合同会社如月庵; Gōdōgaisha Kisaragian);[3] however, works pertaining Tsuina-chan are credited as "Tsuina, the Ogre Hunter Project" in lieu of Kisaragian.
History[]
Tsuina, the Ogre Hunter Project collaborated with AH-Software Co. Ltd. to develop their first VOICEROID2 speech synthesis library for Tsuina-chan; it was released on November 1, 2019.
On September 14, 2020, the Tsuina-chan Project launched a contest for fans to design what would be an outfit for her if she were to become a singing synthesizer.[4] The contest was set to last until November 14. Less than a month later, on October 5, Tsuina-chan's official Twitter account confirmed that she would be starting a crowdfunding campaign for a singing synthesizer later in winter.[5] On October 30, Synthesizer V AI was announced, and it was later revealed that Tsuina-chan would begin a crowdfunding campaign for both Synthesizer V Studio Standard and Synthesizer V AI voice databases later that year.[6] The campaign began on December 4 and reached its initial goal of 5,000,000 yen in one day.[7][8]
