YunokiRoom

**YunokiRoom** is the name given to a France-based doujin circle and project, which originally started in March 2018 as a YouTube channel under the name of Naoko Usami and later SEANaoko, a month after the abrupt end of Doki Doki Sakuya in early 2018 due to the termination of the two channels associated with YunokiRoom Generation 0 in December 2017 and March 2018, and unlike the two channels, the Naoko Usami channel mainly focused on uploading MapleStory-related content and gained initial success in the game's community, until it diversified its focus to other video games, creating its own original characters including its own VTuber characters and art, writing its own diverse stories, creating many projects and many more. The entire project is divided into three different generations, multiple branches, webseries and episodes, and has multiple mascots representing the project's main activities.

## History

### 2014-2018

Not much is quite known about the origins of the online activities of YunokiRoom in the mid-2010s, except that it can be traced all the way back to late 2014, when its creator Zunko's personal Facebook account was first created, and its very first YouTube channel was created in early 2015, which effectively marked the creation of YunokiRoom Generation 0, otherwise known as Fallen Cherry Blossom, which continued, along with the creation of its Twitch channel CherryPinkie and its very first DeviantArt account Gobopinkiepie, and its Ameba blog, after the termination of the very first channel and the eventual Google account loss in summer 2016 that the second channel, which was named Naoko Usami at the time of its termination in late 2017, was created in the same year, and at the same time, between 2014 and 2017 marked the introduction of its very first original characters in existence: Fumi, Alyssa, Youko, Asahi and many others.

However, YunokiRoom Generation 0 went downfall in late 2017, when the original Naoko Usami channel was terminated and since then, multiple channels were created to upload random videos, with the Mountain of Mokou channel, which made it to early 2018 and was used to upload new episodes for Doki Doki Sakuya until its eventual demise in March 2018, that resulted in the creation of Masumi Yoshida and her own YouTube channel in March 17th, and of the current YouTube channel a mere 4 days later, under the Naoko Usami name, which marked the introduction of YunokiRoom Generation 1.

Unlike Masumi's channel, the current Naoko Usami channel primarily focused on creating MapleStory-related content as well as parody videos until most of the videos were purged due to the May-June 2018 drama that resulted in the eventual deletion of the KannaisWaifu account and since then the entire project managed to recover from the damages it had done, this time renamed to SEANaoko and introduced one of its very first mascots Naoki, then its former mascot Purple along with the creation of the MapuruCafe group chat on the now-defunct Google Hangouts and DeviantArt account, before introducing its very first VTubers Naoko and Yukino, collectively referred to as the Kawasaki Sisters on a separate channel, before introducing its second VTuber project and mascot Yunoki a month after their debut and a day after the video titled "Elsword In A Nutshell", which was simply about Sayori eating potato chips, was uploaded on YouTube, and the name of Yunoki's project being Asakusa Girl Yunoki's Room (浅草ガールユノキのお部屋), which was later shortened to YunokiRoom in October 2018 and since then it became the name of the entire YouTube channel and project itself as well as one of Zunko's aliases, to this day.

### 2019-2024

In early 2019, a mere hours before "Elsword Gets Hornty" was uploaded on YouTube, the YunokiRoom Wiki was created along with Yunoki's own article, and later expanded to include the entire YunokiRoom project's history, from its inception in 2018 to the present-day. April 2019 marked the debut of YunokiRoom Online, which was set in the cyber world of Nyanza along with the concept of its unreleased video game sequel YunokiRoom Online 2, which focused on three teams joining forces with each other to save the world of Nyanza from Black Lord in May of the same year along with the debut of YunokiStory.

However, things came to an abrupt end, when the old computer Zunko was using succumbed from water damage and was later replaced with the current computer in September 2019, which resulted in the creation of the R.E.S.T.A.R.T series. Around that time, the aforementioned wiki was formerly cluttered with unofficial content that didn't happen in YunokiRoom lore, and things were doing quite well for the entire wiki, along with a video that marked the introduction of YunokiRoom NT in September 2020 as an expansion pack for YunokiRoom Generation 1 and had its release date delayed throughout the early 2020s, until it was eventually released in July 2022. Additionally, since August 2020, YunokiRoom has been on multiple temporary hiatuses, with the most notable ones being on October 2022 and June 2023.

However, like the entire project itself, the YunokiRoom Wiki has its own fair share of internet drama, including the Dabber Fred incident in October 2020, caused by an individual from the Philippines, who called themselves "Dabber Fred", venting on their own message wall about their inability to handle criticism over their YouTube channel which resulted in them deleting their Google account as well as the YouTube channel in question by the end of that month and the cancellations of YunokiRoom Bullshit and YunokiStory the following month, and the April 2022 incident occurred, that resulted in the mass purge to delete and modify multiple articles written by an former administrator and former online friend of Zunko's between 2019 and 2022, along with the cancellations of YunokiRoom RPG, YunokiRoom Web Anime and ChibiTales. Since then, the YunokiRoom Wiki is currently recovering from the incident, to this day. However, in January 2024, the current computer ran into memory issues related to a video game that it took 3 days to repair the issues on its own and since then has recovered.
