## What it is
A PixiJS plugin that displays Live2D models (Cubism 2, 3, and 4) in the browser with a unified, simplified API. It provides Pixi-style transforms, automatic interactions like focusing and hit-testing, and support for render textures and filters.

## Use cases
- display live2d anime characters on a website
- add interactive live2d mascot to web app
- render live2d models with pixijs
- load cubism 2 and cubism 4 models in browser
- make live2d character follow mouse cursor
- build live2d model viewer web app

## When to choose
- you use PixiJS v6 and want Live2D support with a clean high-level API
- you need to support all Cubism model versions in one framework
- you want automatic interactions like hit-testing and focus tracking
- you prefer typed APIs and Pixi-style transforms

## When to avoid
- you need PixiJS v7 or v8 support
- you want the official Live2D SDK's exact behavior
- you work outside the browser (e.g. native apps)
- you can't include the proprietary Cubism Core runtime
