Kevin Kpelafiya (born: )https://www.deviantart.com/kevinkpelafiya91/about, formerly known as kevin557823, is an American YouTuber, mainly known for their animations and YouTube Poop videos.
==YouTube History==
Kevin created their first YouTube Channel at the age of 9 on September 28, 2016, and began uploading videos later that same year. The channel's name was kevin557823 until 2017, when they renamed it to Kevin Kpelafiya. They created a second channel in August 2018, and a third channel they created that was deleted on September 23, 2021.
==Content==
Kevin's content consists of effects and animations, and has nine shows on their channel. On October 8, 2016, they created the FreeRiderHD channel, and made levels until March 27, 2018, when they could not upload any more levels. They uploaded a video on Halloween Day, 2016, showing their camera that had a black screen. They did not upload anything for three weeks until November 25, 2016, when they started to upload animations. However, the animations were "somewhat horrible" and "somewhat slightly decent." Around late-December 2016, they began taking other people's videos without asking for permission.
In March 2017, Kevin received a second copyright strike for stealing from episodes of Teen Titans. In May 2017, they stated that their channel would be on hiatus on June 28 that year, and it would last until August 2017, but decided to keep uploading videos afterwards.
In late-July 2017, Kebin stated that they were about to delete their first account due to stealing someone else's videos. However, it was later deleted on August 2, 2017, that they created their second account named "Kevin Kpelafiya", stating they did not like their old name, which was "kevin5557823". They stole some people's videos, and in late 2017, they started to make their content without stealing someone's videos. Around March 2018, their channel had 4 million views and 9,000 subscribers.
Kevin began to upload fewer videos in their second channel. In mid-August 2018, they created their 3rd account, and their second account got deleted at the end of August 2018, leaving with 13,500 subscribers and 8 million views. In late 2018, their channel started to get fewer subscribers. They made some animations and effects. 
Sometime around mid-2021, Kevin's third account was deleted, and they stated that their fourth channel name could finally go back to "Kevin Kpelafiya," their original name, instead of "Kevin Kpelafiya 2006 // Productions" because they stated that they are tired of that name.
==Creating other social medias==
In mid-2016, Kevin created their Free Rider HD account, since they were no longer using their old account. In late-November 2016, they began using their Dailymotion account until a few years later. In March 2017, they would delete their Newgrounds account due to faking their age. In early-2018, they created their Facebook account, and they also created their Marble Blast account when they were 11.
As of 2021, Kevin's Facebook account has been inactive since 2019. They created their Instagram account in March 2020, and they created their DeviantArt, but they forgot to activate their account. They have a DeviantArt account, named "kevinkpelafiya91". In December 2021, they created their Twitter account.
