Sykkuno (/ˌsaɪˈkuːnoʊ/ SY-KOON-oh) is an American Twitch streamer and YouTuber. As of April 2021, he is the 39th most-followed channel[1] and is in the top 30 most-subscribed channels on Twitch.[2]

Career[]

YouTube[]

Sykkuno began creating video content for the online game League of Legends back in 2011 on YouTube. He started his YouTube career by posting commentary videos and gameplay on an older channel named "Sykku" before creating a newer channel later in 2012 named "Sykkuno". The newer YouTube channel would later on become the main channel in which he would continue posting videos that today consist of clips and compilations of his Twitch streams. Sykkuno continued to post videos and content primarily related to League of Legends until 2019, when he started playing other online games, such as Among Us and Grand Theft Auto V, with fellow content creators of the gaming community. While Sykkuno posted commentary game videos, he did not show his face until he started streaming with a webcam on Twitch in February 2020.[3]

Twitch[]

While his Twitch account has been active since November 14, 2011, Sykkuno began streaming on a regular basis in April 2019 after being convinced to do so by fellow streamer and OfflineTV member LilyPichu. He quickly gained popularity on the platform, with many attributing his calm, laid-back demeanor as a factor.[citation needed]

In August 2020, Sykkuno briefly moved into the OfflineTV house and collaborated with the group in certain video projects. He moved out two months later, stating that he wanted to move back in with family.[4][5]

Sykkuno's Twitch channel gained over 620,000 followers over a 30-day period in November 2020, making him one of the fastest growing streamers on the platform.[6][7]

In April 2021, Sykkuno participated in an hour-long charity Among Us stream on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, members of The Roots, fellow streamers Valkyrae and Corpse Husband, and Stranger Things actors Gaten Matarazzo and Noah Schnapp, with proceeds going towards Feeding America.[8][9]

Personal life[]

Sykkuno is a native of Southern California. He is of Chinese and Vietnamese descent.[10] He has two sisters.[11] In January 2021, he announced that he would be moving to Las Vegas, Nevada.[12][13]
