>>92335831anon, this is not about vtubers.
This article published by the Yomiuri Shimbun states that this is the view that the JFTC gives to general entertainment agencies such as Johnny's.
For example, when Will Smith quit his agency because he was banned from Hollywood, the agency said, “Don't use that name because it's the agency's right” in Japan.
That is the “Nounen Rena” case. After she became independent, she could not use her real name, but went by the stage name “NON.
That is the point JFTC is trying to make.
In the case of corporate Vtubers, they are “character voice actors”, so it is the same as the theory that a voice actor in charge of an anime character cannot use the character without permission after the contract is terminated.
However, not everything is the same as the company's logic.
For example, even if you can't call yourself a fauna, you can still be a “former fauna” or a voice actor who used to play a fauna in the past.
I think the JFTC's opinion will have that kind of impact on Vtubers.
