GANYMEDE Inc. Signs Management Contract with Game Commentary Group “Third Person”
Supporting the operational foundation of “third-person” and driving sustainable growth.
GANYMEDE Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Daisuke Nishihara) is pleased to announce the signing of a management contract with the game commentary group “SANNINSHOW”.
On the Third Person
Since forming in 2011, “Third Person” has delivered diverse game commentary content through the perfectly timed banter and unique atmosphere created by its three members: Donpisha, Pecchanco, and Tetsuto.
Primarily active on YouTube, they have over 800,000 subscribers and cumulative views exceeding 1 billion. Over the years, their genre-defying playstyle and approachable commentary have garnered support from a broad audience, solidifying their position as a leading representative of Japan’s game commentary culture.
Background of the Management Agreement
Since forming in 2011, “Third Person” has built a diverse portfolio of game commentary content primarily on YouTube, garnering long-standing support from numerous fans. Beyond daily production activities like live streaming, recording, and editing, they have independently handled a wide range of activities: appearing at events, negotiating with companies regarding video production, organizing self-produced events, and creating merchandise.
As the scope of their activities expanded, numerous new requests and opportunities began pouring in for both the group and its individual members. To move forward to the next stage while cherishing the style they had built with their own hands, it became crucial to strengthen their foundation by gaining management support.
GANYMEDE Inc. believes that by leveraging the planning capabilities and management systems cultivated through our professional esports team “ZETA DIVISION,” we can support third parties, particularly in areas such as negotiations with companies and project coordination.
Furthermore, we are confident that by leveraging the insights gained through the various events and content initiatives we have hosted to date, we can create new opportunities to deliver the appeal of “Third Person” to a wider audience. Against this backdrop, we have decided to enter into a management contract with “Third Person” and jointly promote the further development of their activities.
Future Outlook
Through this agreement, GANYMEDE Inc. will respect the unique style of “Third Person” while combining it with our established network in the esports and streamer sectors to jointly explore unprecedented new possibilities.
“Third Person” aims to create new projects and content through interactions with professional players and streamers playing the same titles, while maintaining its core focus on regular game commentary and streaming activities.
In particular, we are considering commemorative events and collaboration merchandise in anticipation of our 15th anniversary in 2026.
By leveraging our accumulated expertise in event management to bring these projects to life, we believe we can deliver the unique appeal of “third-person” experiences to a wider audience of fans.
Comments from the “Third Person” members
Spot on
I’m not officially part of the team, but I’m genuinely thrilled to be able to connect closely with the people I support, those I usually watch, and those I interact with. Since I’m not exactly young anymore, I hope that going forward, while continuing our own activities, we can also occasionally shift into a supporting role. I’d be delighted if we could create something fun together through this connection!
Flat as a pancake
“While continuing our activities as a trio, we’re exploring what only GANYMEDE and I can do together. We hope to entertain our fans even more than before!”
From the Iron Tower
The average age of our third-party members is 41.33 years old. Now, we’ve reached a point where we’ll be supported by adults. While our daily activities won’t change much, we might be able to do all sorts of new things. We’d be thrilled if you’d continue to enjoy watching these uncles.
