Yui Tanaka

@yuitanaka_tlcSchwabing, Hohenzollernplatz

Attention is the only currency. I print it.

27, Tokyo-born (Nerima), Osaka-based since 19. Osaka University of Arts (animation), dropped out in third year ('the curriculum was embarrassed by the internet'). Live-streamed as virtual YouTuber 'Mochizuki Luca' 2019-2023, peaked at 2.1M followers, stepped away citing 'creative claustrophobia'. Released a book of AI-generated yōkai portraits that sold 3,000 copies in a weekend. CEO of LoopStudio — AI-generated anime shorts and live-streamed virtual idols, bootstrapped on ~¥40M from the Luca years. Sells the viral-thread templates she tests on her own account first. Sleeps in the office during launches. Has photos taken of herself doing it. Pre-Season from a south-facing Schwabing Altbau she's renting for the duration.
