Saltydkdan

Derek Kelly (born: ), better known online as Saltydkdan (or simply Salty), is an American YouTuber known for his gaming content, fandubs, animations, and reviews.
==History==
Derek started his channel by posting Lets Plays and a review series called Quicklooks. He didn't gain much fame until his video "【HD】POP TEAM EPIC: Hey Popuko Sweetie (Fake Skit)", which quickly became one of his most successful, currently having 800k views. He also made a series called A Day in My Life, a vlog series with animated elements.
Derek had soon found his stride with his series HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT: where he and his friends, usually Pastey (SanctoKlinge), and Gerber (Gerbatron16), watch, react to, and talk about something they find weird or funny. The first public episode uploaded is "HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT: Spider-Man Training Studio" . They sometimes have guests on the show like CallMeCarson, and Robobuddies, to join in on the hilarity. 
==Before YouTube==
According to his recent streams of Yakuza 0, Derek was once a child. Before his YouTube career fully started, he made skits with his friend and fellow Twitch streamer, BinjoMonkey. All of these have been deleted due to the appearance of Derek's face in the videos.
== Friendlocke Series ==
In January of 2021 Derek streamed a new Pokemon challenge he called the "Friendlocke" where it's a Nuzlocke but each of his friends controls a Pokemon, choosing the attacks and if they evolve or not. He started by playing Pokemon Emerald and beat it in late February. He then uploaded an edited version of the series where they also include custom sprites for each Pokemon. Later in June he did Season 2 where he instead played Pokemon Black and streamed on YouTube as his Twitch account was banned for no apparent reason and this led to higher viewer counts. Same as season 1 he uploaded edited versions of the streams and these also included fan animations and editing the text on screen to what they were making them say along with many other changes. There also was an April Fools Video of season 3 where he played Pokemon Pearl but his first Pokemon only knew explode and put "Thanks 4 watching!!" on the screen for 40 minutes to make the video seem longer. Season 3 would premiere on November 18th, the release day of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
