Gizmoz, a start-up that lets users create animated 3D avatars, has received $6.5 million in its second funding round. DoCoMo Capital, NGI Capital, Benchmark Capital and Columbia Capital all contributed.

According to mocoNews, Gizmoz will use this latest infusion to expand into Asia and also launch a suite of mobile services, including one that allows "animated 3D talking characters based on photographs to be delivered to any mobile device that supports video."

The company snagged a deal with AOL to let AIM users create Gizmoz as well.
