The meme is the entry point: a shaved head, a uniform, and a job title that changes with every repost. Under that is a long studio career and a YouTube channel that turned the persona into a second audience.

For viewers, the useful question is not “what is the meme” but “which era do I want?” The studio work is broad and heavily indexed by scene partners and studios. The YouTube work is a different product: reaction videos, vlogs, and a more controlled version of the same persona.

The record below keeps the career facts separate from the meme. That separation is the whole point of a star profile on this desk.
