KAMITSUBAKI artists raise 1 million yen for US charity Gamers Outreach

Artists from KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO raised over 1 million yen (approximately $6,180) for the US non-profit Gamers Outreach during the VTuber Summer Slam 2026 charity event. The event ran from June 19 to June 28.

The virtual singers RIM, KOKO, KAKYOIN, and HINAGESHI hosted a special English-language gaming stream. Their goal was to support Gamers Outreach, an organization that provides gaming equipment to children in hospitals worldwide.

The stream was part of the larger VTuber Summer Slam initiative, which brings together creators to fundraise for the cause. The KAMITSUBAKI artists' segment surpassed its initial fundraising target by 50 percent.

The archived charity stream is available on YouTube.

In statements, the artists thanked supporters. RIM called the result "incredible," while KOKO said reading donor messages "warmed my heart." KAKYOIN expressed hope that games would bring more smiles, and HINAGESHI said she was "truly moved" by the collective effort.

Founded in 2007, Gamers Outreach deploys mobile gaming kiosks called "GO Karts" to over 500 healthcare facilities across 15 countries, including Japan. The organization facilitates over 7.7 million gaming sessions for hospitalized children annually.
