In 2017, [[Motoaki Tanigo]] and [[Ikko Fukuda]] created a two-way livestreaming app that allows to viewers to view virtual livestream using AR technology.<ref> Hirota, Minoru (19 May 2017).

Their company was approached by future Cover employee, [[A-chan]] who wanted to let her friend, the future [[Tokino Sora]], to become the promotion girl for the app in exchange for borrowing Cover's equipment for use in her activity.
In the 7th of September 2017, Tokino Sora debuted on [[w:Niconico|Nico Nico Douga]] to an audience of 50 of which 13 were viewers not related to the company. One month later, their livestream app, now named ''hololive'' was released on the Appstore and Google Store.

'''Hololive''' (ホロライブ, ''stylized as '''hololive''''') ,often referred to as '''Hololive Japan''' for clarity or '''HoloJP''' for short, is the original branch of Hololive and Hololive Production. Prior to the creation of the overseas branches, Hololive the group and Hololive Japan were the same entity with only informal distinction made by the talents after the first overseas branches were established. This arrangement likely continued until the formation of [[Hololive English]] and the personnel expansion for [[Hololive Indonesia]] which necessitate Hololive Japan being separated into its own branch. This is why HoloJP shares its official name with that of the overall agency.

Hololive Japan has 8 generations of talents consisting of 39 members (34 active, 3 terminations, 1 ending of contract and 1 graduation).
