RikuTheBest, whose real name is Riku Lamarr, was born on November 23, 1992 in the United States. From a young age, he had a passion for anime, particularly Dragon Ball and Naruto. This passion would later shape his career as a YouTube star.
RikuTheBest first dipped his toes into the world of YouTube in April 2008 when he launched a channel. However, it wasn't until September of the same year that he created his RikuTheBest channel, where he would focus on anime reviews and discussions. His first uploads consisted of gameplay videos of Warriors Orochi and Budokai 3.
Despite his early success, he faced challenges with copyright claims and was forced to delete over 100 videos. This setback didn't deter him, and he continued to create content that resonated with his audience.
In 2018, RikuTheBest posted a video titled "Literally the best summons on Dragon Ball Legends," which quickly gained popularity and garnered over 100 thousand views in less than 5 months.
Aside from his successful YouTube career, RikuTheBest values his family and has a close relationship with his brother. His middle name, Lamarr, holds significance to him and he often incorporates it into his online persona.
Throughout his journey as a YouTuber, RikuTheBest has drawn inspiration from fellow content creators such as Ryan Higa, Shofu, and KSI. Their success and work ethic motivate him to continue pursuing his passion for creating engaging content for his audience.
