Syamu_game, or merely "syamu" is a Japanese youtuber who was on youtube from 2010 to the winter of 2014 primely, and also in 2018 secondaly, whose videos were famous for crazy contents as following (not in this page but next time).
LIFE (in short)
What was he like before starting youtube activity? He was born in 1984 in Hiroshima Prefecture and raised in Kaizuka City, Osaka. Though he was once enrolled in a professional school of computer skills, he dropped out of it because he could not get along with other students. Before he start his activity on youtube, he have been involved in music composing with computer, and this experience may give birth to his extraordinary sound effects used in his video in the future. In 2010, he made his first youtube movie in which he introduced his music, under the handle name "Sinn". It is remarkable that his previous contents was such a practical thing rather than video game. Afterward, he eventually start to upload video game walkthrough such as Nobita-no-Biohazard, a free computer game dispensed online. It is critical that he appears to be so obsessed in this title that his later remarks about anything (seemingly) hardly related to it were even forcefully far-fetched to it (e.g., when he played other title, he remarked his extremely frequent act of data-saving was learnt from a bitter lesson in NobiHaza).
Why he is so famous now? As a matter of fact, just like van Gogh, he and his channel was not as popular as today when he was still on youtube. What made him such well-known were his offline event and his extraordinary attempts to get girlfriend. In August 2014, he planned an offline event to gather his fans in real and private, under optimistic estimation that at least 30 people would appear at the venue, Sennan Aeon, Osaka. Although no one appeared there in spite of his estimation, he rather took a movie to report the miserable situation, with a view to unkown purposes. Actually, he had another secret aim in this event; to get a girlfriend. After he failed the concealed mission as written above, he blatantly began to get in touch with nekama in search of ideal woman of his own. The series of action were immediately reported by the nekama to Ni-channel, a Japanese online bulletin board service, which result in debasing his reputation critically. Finally he was shocked to know he had been decepted his friend, who was actually not, and youtube channel was suspended to second appearance in 2018.
