Bonjour

The name alone tells you something: it is a softened spelling of the French greeting, and it grew out of the player name he used in arcade fighting games, where he was good enough to finish second at an official Virtua Fighter 5 tournament. He wanted to be an actor, and when the auditions did not pan out he turned to posting videos in 2016, later joining the Dozle Corporation group in 2020. The gap between that breezy, approachable name and the long detour behind it is the most interesting thing about him.
