Ibaraki virus (IBAV) is a member of the epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) serogroup, which belongs to the Orbivirus  genus of the Reoviridae  family. Although EHDV, including IBAV, represents an ongoing threat to livestock in the world, molecular mechanisms of EHDV replication and pathogenesis have been unclear. The reverse genetics (RG) system is one of the strong tools to understand molecular mechanisms of virus replication. Here, we developed a RG system for IBAV to identify the nonessential region of a minor structural protein, VP6, by generating VP6‐truncated IBAV. Moreover, several tags were inserted into the truncated region to produce VP6‐tagged IBAV. We demonstrated that all VP6‐tagged IBAV could replicate in BHK cells in the absence of any helper VP6 protein. Further, tagged‐VP6 proteins were first assembled into puncta in cells infected with VP6‐tagged IBAV. Our data suggests that, in order to initiate primary replication, IBAV VP6 is likely to accumulate in some parts of infected cells to assemble efficiently into the primary replication complex (subcore).
