Drawing your favorite anime girl is a great way to show affection, but going overboard with skin exposure can be costly. The agency behind the VTuber group VSPO! has just issued a direct legal warning to a social media user after they posted an illustration of Tsumugi Kokage in an extremely revealing outfit, making it clear they won’t hesitate to take the matter to court if the content isn’t removed.

The company’s legal team stated that the image exceeded their official creator guidelines, violating copyright and harming the talent’s honor. The user was given an ultimatum to delete the posts or even the entire account, with the company warning that failure to comply will result in lawsuits for damages.

The agency’s stance isn’t surprising for those following the project. In July 2024, the organization updated its secondary creation rules to strictly ban any explicit, violent, or grotesque content featuring its members. This measure supports Tsumugi Kokage’s own request to fans, where she confessed she felt uncomfortable being depicted in overly revealing outfits and politely asked fans to avoid such artwork.

To show their warnings are serious, the company has already collected millions in damages. In two previous cases between 2025 and 2026, the company reached legal agreements with individuals selling explicit illustrations of their talents, forcing them to pay up to 20 million yen and permanently remove all materials.

VSPO! (Virtual eSports Project) is one of Japan’s most popular VTuber agencies, focusing on talents passionate about competitive gaming, eSports content, and live streams. Unlike other groups, the brand actively monitors fan creations through a dedicated legal account to ensure they respect its members’ images and don’t cross into explicit content.

What do you think of the strict measures this agency takes to protect its members?
