Otoriza (おとりざ), formerly known as Otogi Resurrection (御伽りざれくしょん), was a 15-member Japanese Virtual YouTuber agency that started its activities in September 2018. The agency's VTubers mainly streamed on colon: but they also streamed on YouTube. In 2019, Otogi Resurrection went through successive waves of talent retirements, and in June 2019, it was acquired by Candee Inc. The agency's name was then officially changed to Otoriza (おとりざ), while the remaining members were moved to a newly launched unit called Miratori (みらとり) in July 2019.

Acquisition
<p>On 21 June, Otogi Resurrection was acquired by <a href="https://candee.co.jp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Candee</a> Inc., the same company behind the VTuber agency "<a href="https://twitter.com/miginaname_" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Miginaname/</a>" (ミギナナメ/) and also the developer of the <a href="/wiki/Colon" data-wiki-target="Colon">colon:</a> streaming app. In line with this, the agency's name was officially changed to just "<strong>Otoriza</strong>" (おとりざ). A new travel-themed project named <strong>Otoriza Miracle Trip</strong> (Japanese stylized: おとりざ〜みらくる☆とりっぷ〜), or just <strong>Miratori</strong> (みらとり) for short, was also launched in July. The project gathered the agency's three remaining talents into one unit.</p>
<p>On 6 July, the newly-formed Miratori debuted on their unit channel.</p>
Disbanding
<p>On 29 January, Otoriza announced that Miratori would be disbanded. Effective on 31 January, Candee Inc. was withdrawing from the VTuber business due to downsizing, and its VTuber agencies Otoriza and Miginaname/ were both shutting down as a result. The three members of Miratori continued as independent VTubers after the group's shutdown.</p>
Miratori
<p>In July 2019, the agency's three remaining members were moved to a new travel-themed unit named <strong>Otoriza Miracle Trip</strong> (おとりざ〜みらくる☆とりっぷ〜), or just <strong>Miratori</strong> (みらとり) for short.</p>

Miscellaneous
<p>*The 15 members of the agency were initially participating in a point system competition based on subscriber count, where the winner will get a 3D model, but Komachi Nono was able to gain a point score that was triple that of the next closest member, so on 25 November 2018 this policy was changed in the interest of fairness, as it was now very difficult for the other members to catch up.</p>
