IA (Japanese: イア) is a humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer application developed by 1st Place Co., Ltd., headquartered in Meguro, Tokyo, Japan. They use Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid 3 singing synthesizer technology. Her voice is created using samples of Lia. She has performed at live concerts onstage as either an animated projection or a Pepper's ghost. A rhythm game featuring her called IA/VT Colorful was made. Many songs have been made with her.
IA's name was taken from her voice provider's name, "Lia". She was illustrated by Aka Akasaka, the author of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War and Oshi no Ko.
