About Emiru

Emiru, born Emily Schunk on January 3, 1998, is an American Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and cosplayer known for her contributions to the gaming and cosplay communities. She was raised in Wichita, Kansas, in a family of Chinese and German descent, with a mother who is a lawyer and a father who is an entrepreneur. Her early life was marked by her parents’ busy schedules, leading her to find solace in video games from a young age. She graduated high school in 2016 and briefly attended college before pursuing content creation full-time.

Her Twitch career began in late 2015 while still in high school, streaming League of Legends gameplay at a friend’s suggestion, who highlighted the potential for donations. She joined the platform officially in November 2016 and grew her following to over 1.6 million by March 2025, transitioning from League of Legends to variety content after joining One True King (OTK) in January 2022, following a stint with Cloud9 from August 2020 to January 2022. Her social media career spans Instagram (over 800,000 followers), Twitter (over 760,000 followers), and TikTok (1.8 million followers), where she shares cosplay, gaming, and personal updates.

Emiru’s content career blends gaming, cosplay, and community interaction, with her role as an OTK co-owner enhancing her visibility through events and collaborations. Her YouTube career started with a channel launched on June 26, 2013, where she began posting in 2017, now boasting over 1.18 million subscribers with content ranging from gaming highlights to vlogs and cosplay tutorials. Her cosplay career, a cornerstone of her identity, features intricate costumes inspired by games and anime, notably influencing the League of Legends champion Gwen in 2021.

Her popularity stems from her gaming skills, detailed cosplays, and relatable personality, earning her a nomination for Best League of Legends Streamer at the 2022 Streamer Awards. Fans see her as authentic and engaging, appreciating her humor, creativity, and dedication to her crafts. They enjoy her quirky interests—like her plushie and soap collections—and her ability to foster a tight-knit community. Physically, she stands at 5 feet 3 inches with a slender build, blonde hair (often dyed), and dark brown eyes; her breast size is larger relative to her slim figure, at approximately a D or E (DD) cup, noted in her cosplay and modeling appearances. Fans find her sexy due to her confident poses, expressive features, and stylish aesthetic.

Her net worth is estimated between $1.5 million and $3 million as of March 2025, derived from Twitch subscriptions, YouTube revenue, sponsorships, and OTK-related ventures. Controversies include a stalker incident in Kansas that heightened her caution about IRL streaming, though no major platform bans have marked her career. Her relationship history includes a four-year romance with streamer Dyrus, ending in November 2020; she is currently single.

Emiru’s friends include OTK members like Mizkif, Asmongold, and Esfand, with whom she collaborates frequently, alongside other streamers like Valkyrae and Cinnabrit. As of March 2025, she remains active on Twitch, streaming variety content, and recently participated in a Sis-a-thon event in Los Angeles on March 2, cut short by a stalker encounter. She continues to update her YouTube, TikTok, and social media, balancing gaming, cosplay, and community engagement from her base in Austin, Texas.
