Who is Sykkuno?
Sykkuno is a Las Vegas-based American live streamer. He is well known for his Twitch live streams, which he aired from 2019 until April 2022 before moving to YouTube in May 2022. He has two sisters and is of Chinese and Vietnamese origin.
He also appeared 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 for an hour-long charity Among Us stream. He revealed in 2022 that he was leaving Twitch for an exclusive streaming contract on YouTube, and he signed with United Talent Agency for representation.
Will Sykkuno join OTV?
Pokimane is no longer a member of the OTV group, but she still collaborates and creates content with the current members. She recently teamed up with Masayoshi and long-time buddy Sykkuno to play online games on a webcast while reminiscing about earlier collaborations.
“How does it feel that you are not with OTV anymore?” Sykkuno asked Pokimane. "Bittersweet," she said in response. Sykkuno joked that with the open slot, they would need new people, but Masayoshi swiftly responded that the spot was already filled. He stated that RoboDog, a meme figure obtained with group finances by Michael Reeves, had been on the bench but was now back in action.
RoboDog, commonly known as Spot, is a Boston Dynamics quadruped robot that was used in skits by the OTV group but had been inactive for a while. Pokimane's departure raises the question of who will take her position in the group. Users will have to wait a bit longer to find out.
