ZTAO’S MAN is the animated persona of Chinese C-POP singer Zitao Huang. He is an independent virtual idol operating under the artist management model. ZTAO’S MAN draws its inspiration from Zitao Huang himself and incorporates unique Chinese elements into its design, such as the character’s outline and hairstyle, enhanced with ink brushstroke effects that allow the character’s hairstyle to change in different settings. The distinctive details of Zitao Huang’s iconic features, such as his hairstyle and eyes, have been stylized in a more simplified, anime character design, combining elements from American comics’ boldness and Japanese anime’s idol characteristics, catering to the preferences of the wider audience for virtual idols.
