My Take
Kimagure Cook — the channel name means roughly "Whimsical Cook" — was launched in 2016 by a Japanese YouTuber known as Kaneko, born 31 May 1991. He was born in a fishing town near Ise Bay, learned seafood from his chef parents, and holds an Aichi license to prepare fugu. The format is almost defiantly unglamorous: he acquires seafood, cleans it, breaks it down, and cooks it, narrating throughout with a running comic patter. That's the whole thing. And it works because of, not despite, its narrowness. Cleaning fish is the part of cooking that traditionally happens out of sight, in the back of the kitchen, because it is messy and unlovely. Pointing a camera straight at it and making it funny is a genuinely original move. There is also something honest about the appeal — the sound of a knife going through a fish, the reveal of what's inside, the small suspense of whether the thing is any good. He didn't build an audience on stunts, which is probably why the audience stayed.
