ねこてん

Eimi Asari (Japanese: 浅利映実) (born: )https://youtu.be/jmmzqYfOqZU?si=sP9DKNVHBMbcQ76k, better known online as Nekoten, is a Japanese YouTuber. Her channel contains videos of cooking, makeup, food review, gaming, humour and other themes. Her trademark was the use of tape over her nose, which she admittedly had a complex over its appearance.https://youtu.be/s-06ncojtvw?si=Mtl-25c2Qqf4ExKs 
Nekoten has two channels, one of which is inactive since 2020.https://youtu.be/QJwMBfL7RWk?si=ZJNvAlcPZ2DBOPez Her other channel is frequently used by her for live-streaming, generally for chatting or gaming.
==Content==
Nekoten doesn't have a particular niche, frequently covering a variety of topics. The contents of her two channels are generally different, and Nekoten presents herself a bit different in both channels. 
In her main channel she usually shows a more humorous and charismatic personality. She often jokes about the comments on her videos, while also talking about her daily life and activities. In her secondary channel, where she frequently live-streams, she is usually more relaxed and easy-going.
Frequent topics on her channels are makeup, food review, cooking, chatting and gaming. She also does live-stream games on Twitch, mainly Apex Legends. Her YouTube live-streams are generally for chatting with her subscribers, sometimes while doing something else like cooking, although only chatting is common as well.
Some of her videos have English subtitles made by fans, but since YouTube removal of the Community Captions, it has not been updated.
==History==
Nekoten started her career on Niconico, where she first started with the nickname "Nekopajaman", but changed it to her current "Nekoten" after her watchers complained it was too long and difficult to remember. Her nickname is an amalgamation of the words "Neko" and "Tenshi", which means "Cat" and "Angel" respectively. She dropped part of the nickname because she felt embarrassed referring to herself as "angel", reframing it as "Tempura".
She always used a tape over her nose, which became her trademark, although sometimes she uses other items to hide her nose. Nekonten is very wary of the appearance of her nose, and mentioned a few times that she had a complex over it. In recent years, after she stopped updating her main channel, Nekoten ceased using the tape on her nose as frequently. She revealed her nose herself on her main channel, after noticing the pictures of it on internet were horrible, usually low quality screenshots of her old live-streams.https://youtu.be/QkRq6wgQg5M?si=vsWN1d7bqwSeP64T
Around early 2018, a image of her graduation album was leaked on the internet. It contained her photo, name and which school she attended. Nekoten probably didn't want her name to become public,https://youtu.be/eBik93orNPs?si=iuhfLwCUBLTP21us but confirmed the information and has since used her name in a few occasions, such as naming characters on games.
==Personal life==
Nekoten frequently comments about her personal life on her videos.
Her most watched video on her main channel was about her weight. At the time she weighted around 39,8kg, which was very underweight for her height (165cm). She commented about her eating habits, which were not healthy at the time, such as skipping meals.https://youtu.be/zL1mCfJ8tgM?si=WVJxMcZR4lBxNb0L
Nekoten's trademark nose tape has not been used as frequently in recent years. She does post photos of herself without the tape on her social media occasionally, but she frequently hides nose unconsciously on photos. On her secondary YouTube channel, she has not been using the tape at least since late 2021.
She lives by herself and is a self-proclaimed NEET.https://youtu.be/ikXFkQyRSuc?si=AK8IW0U8frH4aac0 Nekoten frequently shares stories about her school years, in which she says she was a loner, and gives advice for those who are as well.https://youtu.be/XkwG0KDOQMQ?si=KsQVnPFH47qD6vOX She owned a cat named Churchill, who frequently appeared in her videos and live-streams from the beginning,https://youtu.be/sUOi6Q-z-H8?si=rtjWfgZH0aYmQuMe but has now unfortunately passed away as of August 25, 2024.https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxHF2abB3G1EzKQuEju3TRqhrDmtLkTZia
