WACTOR - Vtuber agency【Vtuber事務所ワクター公式チャンネル】

WACTOR Production (ワクタープロダクション Wakuta Purodakushon), also known as WACTOR for short, is a VTuber agency that is headquartered in Japan and is primarily targeted at Japanese, Chinese and Spanish-speaking audiences.
== Beginning ==
In March 2019, a VTuber unit named Mirais was established, consisting of Hizuki Miu, Irisu Mia and Otogi Lilu. In October of the same year, five more VTubers were hired after auditions were held. Though one person retired, they were replaced quickly with Lia Mitsurugi.
2020 was a hectic year as Irisu Mia retired 11 days into January, and on 26 January, a large amount of data about upcoming members was deleted from the company's cloud storage. After it was found that one of the many IPs involved belonged to a former employee, on 12 March, Komori Aina's and Mashiro Yuyu's contracts were cancelled, and Mirais and its sister unit were merged into one group called "WACTOR". It was also around this time that they decided to appeal to markets outside of Japan and introduced Nanaha Rui, who was exclusive to Chinese streaming site Billibilli, to Chinese viewers. In March five more people were hired, with the company deciding between sixteen finalists. In June these VTubers were sorted into generations.

== Controversy ==
In 2022, WACTOR doxxed Laila Shino amongst other forms of maltreatment (such as withholding pay). They received mass condemnation from both English and Japanese VTuber communities. Laila has since been open about her experience with WACTOR under her new account.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDtpwOeDERI&t=1s
In February-March 2023, WACTOR would do the same again to Hina Misora, revealing her name, location and Personal Indentification number.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUHwxVhpHwchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85-O_OENiYo Earlier, she was put on indefinite hiatus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MT5HUGh1QU&t=97s They also uploaded a video with this information, but YouTube took it down for violating their Hrassment and bullying policy. However, WACTOR uploaded a video with her information again.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qnP7n3DTJv8 They were mocked by Hina on her alternative account.
While it is unconfirmed, there is a rumour that the CEO was having an affair with a specific talent which led to accsations of favouritism.
