Our community is well-moderated by our Support and Leadership Teams, guided by the Azure Council, ensuring a positive, organized, and thriving environment.
Merger with Run Around:Network
Azure Infinitum Community and Run Around:Network merged officially in 2023, forming Azure Infinitum Network (AIN). This association began in 2019 when Azure Infinitum was recognized as a product of RA:N. During the COVID-19 pandemic, RA:N was put on hold while Azure Infinitum remained active.
Run Around:Network originated in 2005 as a Myspace blog by Hikaru Kazushime, known for posting memes and otaku content as "The Run Around."
From 2008, Hikaru expanded his career as a web developer, journalist, and entertainment industry figure. He established RA:N to promote visual culture, fandoms, Japanese culture, and conventions, focusing on event coverage and articles.
To consolidate his endeavors and create a unified platform, Hikaru merged his productions, rebooted RA:N, and formed Azure Infinitum Network, aiming to combine the Azure Infinitum Community, RA:N readership, and his network into one cohesive entity.
