Pre-debut
EIEN Project was founded by former VTuber Eri (aka Moeri), who is CEO of the project. EIEN Project's origins are from when Eri was still VTubing, and was imagining various possible, drastically different new designs for her character. She ultimately opted to stick with her original design and not rebrand. However, with such designs in mind, she then thought: "Oh, I can create unique, fun, and cute new characters and support aspiring VTubers at the same time!". Eri also "knows how difficult it is for VTubers just starting out [...and] saw that there was so much talent that wasn't being recognized [and] wanted to shine a light to those aspiring VTubers."
On 12 Nov 2022, EIEN Project announced that auditions for its 1st generation were open, with a submission deadline of 11 December. The announcement video showed silhouettes of the VTuber models.
On 9 Feb 2023, Eri announced that she would be indefinitely suspending her activities as a VTuber, with her last stream on February 24, in order to focus on EIEN Project.
