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, Synthesizer V and VOCALOID6 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]

On August 29, 2024, the official Tsuina-chan PR Twitter account announced that it was preparing a big announcement, that was being kept a secret, on the following day, August 30 between 3:00 to 4:00 P.M. JST. In accordance with the announcement, a set of voice materials was also announced to be released on the official Tsuina-chan Fantia account the same day. The following day, Internet Co., Ltd. and Tsuina, the Ogre Hunter Project announced the development of an AI voicebank to be released for VOCALOID6 for Tsuina-chan on September 20, 2024 based on the voice of Mai Kadowaki.
