J-Moshi: Japanese AI System Mimics Natural Conversation – Nagoya University

Nagoya University Unveils J-Moshi: Advanced Japanese AI Voice Assistant Mimicking Human Conversation

Nagoya, Japan – Researchers at Nagoya University have announced the growth of J-Moshi, a elegant AI voice assistant designed too replicate natural Japanese human speech. This groundbreaking system is an enhancement of Moshi, an existing spoken dialog system created by Kyotoi, an open-source AI research institute. Moshi itself is recognized for its ability to express emotions in real-time.

The development of J-Moshi took approximately four months adn involved training on extensive Japanese speech datasets. The AI system is noted for its remarkable ability to perfectly mimic human speech patterns, capturing the natural flow of Japanese conversation. A key feature highlighted is its capacity to accurately reproduce “backchannel” responses, which are common interjections made by Japanese speakers during dialogue. A demonstration of J-Moshi’s audio output is available for review, showcasing its natural sound.

A important portion of the training data for J-Moshi included the J-CHAT dataset, a Japanese dialogue dataset compiled and released by the University of Tokyo. This dataset comprises around 67,000 hours of audio data sourced from podcasts and YouTube. The research team also incorporated smaller, high-quality dialogue datasets, including audio recorded in laboratory settings and archival recordings from 20 to 30 years ago. To further augment the training data, a speech synthesis program was utilized to convert chat conversations into artificial voices for the AI’s learning process.

J-Moshi is also accessible on the Hugging Face platform, wiht the model available under the identifier nu-dialogue/j-moshi-ext.

The researchers point out that the availability of Japanese speech data is comparatively limited when contrasted with English speech data. This scarcity has historically posed challenges for adapting conventional voice dialogue systems to specific industries. However, the Nagoya University team believes that J-Moshi’s capabilities could be commercially valuable in sectors such as Japanese call centers, healthcare, and customer service.

The research team is led by Professor Ryuichiro Higashinaka, who brings extensive experience from his 19-year tenure as a corporate researcher at NTT. During his time at NTT, Professor Higashinaka contributed to the development of consumer dialogue systems and voice agents, including a project focused on a question-and-answer function for the voice agent service ‘Shabette Concierge’.

Inosuke rarely plays in the first chapter of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugenjou Arc”? “One-of-a-kind talent” that you want to draw even if it’s short | Magmics

Hashibira Inosuke, who has been portrayed in many roles alongside the main characters Tanjiro and others, may not be able to appear in the first chapter of the film “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugenjou” which will be released recently? It is seen as However, there are great expectations for the performance that will captivate viewers even with the few appearances.

At first glance, she looks rough, but was she portrayed as “excellent”?

Hashibira Inosuke is depicted on the jacket, Blu-ray/DVD Vol. 6 (C) Gotouge Koyoharu/Shueisha, Aniplex, ufotable

The first chapter of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Castle” will finally be released next week, Friday, July 18th, 2025. What many people are curious about is, “How far will it be drawn?”, but with a poster visual that is given as the subtitle “Akaza Re-issue” and depicts Akaza, the Upper Moon demon, has been released, it is imagined that the fierce battle between Akaza and Tanjiro and others will be mainly depicted.

Based on this information, Tanjiro’s friend Hashibira Inosuke has been saying things like, “Isn’t there a lot of plays?” and “I wonder if they’ll be appearing in full swing from Chapter 2?” in Chapter 1 of “Infinity Castle.”

Inosuke is a wild swordsman with a wild boar headpiece and a rough personality, and is a wild swordsman who leaves a strong impression with every appearance. At first glance, it may seem like a lively character, but in fact he is one of the most talented swordsmen in Demon Slayer.

As revealed at the end of episode 5 of the anime “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Pillar Rehearsals,” Inosuke had been trained in the Rock Pillar, Himejima Gyo Meditation before Tanjiro and the others. It may be difficult to imagine because the details are not shown, but this means that he has overcome the flexible training for Koi Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri, the basic physical fitness training for Sono Pillar Uzui Tengen, and the infinite driving practice for Wind Pillar Fushikawa Sanya, as well as the high-speed moving practice for Kasumi Pillar Tokito Muichiro and the Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai’s Tachimus Muscle Correction Pillar.

At first glance, Inosuke seems to be fighting according to his instincts, but in fact he has mastered the basic skills of a swordsman and has been given the passing exams by the pillars who have trained.

Learning ability and “support” that created “breath” on self-study

Inosuke rarely plays in the first chapter of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugenjou Arc”? “One-of-a-kind talent” that you want to draw even if it’s short | Magmics — ARTFX J Demon Slayer Hashibira Inosuke 1/8 scale PVC painted finished figure

The most surprising thing about Inosuke is that he has never learned swordsmanship before, but he has created his own breathing technique called “beast breathing.” Usually, swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps undergo long-term training under the training train before learning breathing techniques. Tanjiro has been training for about a year before he can learn to breathe water, and Zenitsu has also gained considerable training until he masters breathe lightning.

However, Inosuke did not have a master and came up with a breathing technique on his own. The fact that Inosuke, who had separated from his parents in his childhood and had not received an educational education and survived on his own, has come up with breathing techniques, is a sign of his extraordinary talent.

It is also worth noting that Inosuke’s changes since he began to act with Tanjiro and the others. He acquires human emotion in a short period of time, and sometimes plays a role in inspiring Tanjiro and others, saving him from a predicament. Also, when he first met Himejima, he instinctively felt that he was the “strongest” even before he met him.

＊　＊　＊

The battle at the beginning of the “Infinite Castle” in the original manga focuses on the battle between Akaza and Tanjiro and others, while also dynamically depicting the battles that progress at the same time, with scenes of the battles between Agatsuma Zenitsu, Kocho Shinobu, and Kurikara no Kanao in place. Inosuke may not appear in the first chapter of the movie “Mugenjou” but I hope that even if it’s a short appearance, Inosuke’s charm and reliability will make a strong impression on the audience.
