Virtual idol and IP agencies

Yiji Culture (成都一几文化科技有限责任公司) is a Chengdu company that creates and runs virtual idols. Its idol Yi Shiqi (伊拾七), a short-haired Sichuan girl with mismatched eyes and two panda hair clips, first posted on Douyin in May 2019 and has also posted on Bilibili since 2020; the company also develops the technology behind her, including virtual live-streaming and a voice library.

In March 2020 it raised an angel round of several million yuan from Chengdu investor Yuanli Ventures (原力创投), reported by West China City Daily (华西都市报), and spent about a year giving Yi Shiqi a 3D hyper-real design. Song Wei (宋薇), speaking for the company, compared the work to an agency packaging an artist.

Yi Shiqi is listed in the 2022 Virtual Digital Human TOP50 ranking, and the company is part of Sichuan’s early virtual-idol scene.
