Oshi Push began with a simple but bold idea from Japanime Games founder Eric Price:
What if a TCG didn’t revolve around monsters or battlefields, but around the vibrant, chaotic world of VTubers chasing their big break?
That spark quickly grew into one of Japanime’s most daring projects. To shape it, Eric brought in Beenetti as Creative Director, transforming the raw idea into a complete world filled with style, personality, and strategy.
Together, they set out to build a TCG that broke the mold—one that puts players in the spotlight as rising VTubers chasing online fame.
To bring the game’s mechanics to life, Japanime partnered with award-winning designer Justin Gary, former Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour champion and creator of Ascension and SolForge Fusion. Justin’s experience in competitive play and game design gave Oshi Push the depth and accessibility needed for a modern TCG.
Visually, the game is shaped by our graphic designer Neil Burdick, working closely with Beenetti to blend anime vibrancy with clean, modern card frames. Every icon, layout, and Persona frame is crafted to feel both collectible and instantly readable.
For our first generation of content, we wanted to work with partners who truly understood VTubing, not just as a trend, but as a culture built on creativity, community, and chaos.
We partnered with Phase Connect, a VTuber agency known across the community for its energy, storytelling, and fiercely loyal fans. Their trust, energy, and involvement have elevated this project far beyond a standard licensing partnership.
Oshi Push: Phase Origins features the iconic seven talents from the agency’s first generation:
Their personalities, lore, and style are woven directly into their Persona cards and gameplay strategies, making each one feel alive at the table.
We deeply appreciate the trust Phase Connect has placed in us. This game would not exist in its current form without their collaboration.
Shaped Together With the Community
From that point on, Oshi Push grew not only through internal development, but through the passion and feedback of its community. We worked with a large team of dedicated playtesters, fans, and card-game veterans who helped refine the mechanics, improve balance, and bring the game to the level of polish it has today. Their insight shaped everything, from the flow of Platforms to the pacing of content creation or the identity of each Persona. Oshi Push is, at its core, a game built with people who will play it.
Oshi Push isn’t a typical battle-driven TCG.
There are no life points to destroy and no creatures to trample.
Instead, you step into the spotlight as a VTuber, competing for influence, visibility, and the ultimate goal:
Reach 1,000,000 subscribers before anyone else.
The game shifts the focus from combat to creativity:
Oshi Push is a celebration of the online creator ecosystem, its chaos, its humor, its grind, and its heart.
Oshi Push is more than just a card game.
It’s a celebration of creators, communities, and the unique relationships they share. Whether you’re a long-time fan, a card-game enthusiast, or someone discovering VTubing for the first time, Oshi Push invites you into the spotlight.
