Who is LilyPichu?
Lily Ki is an American streamer who was one of the best Twitch streamers, having streamed on the platform for over a decade. But now, she will be streaming on YouTube after signing the exclusive deal with the platform.
Lily is also part of an entertainment company, OfflineTV, consisting of streamers like Pokimane, Disguised Toast, and her boyfriend, Michael Reeves. Furthermore, she is the first OfflineTV member to stream on YouTube. Pokimane and Toast have YouTube channels, but they only upload Twitch stream highlights and vlogs.
Aside from being a successful streamer, Lily is also a musician and voice actor. She had voice-acted in many anime series like Cardfight!! Vanguard: overDress, Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun, and Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro. Moreover, she also lent her voice to video games like Genshin Impact and Paladins.
