Agnes Yulo Diego (born February 16, 1993), known online as Akidearest, is an American YouTuber. She started her youtube channel by discussing anime, manga, otaku culture and Japanese-related content on her YouTube channel.[3][4][5]

Early life

Diego was born in Bakersfield, California, on February 16, 1993, to parents of Filipino descent, and was raised in Virginia and eventually moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. Growing-up, Diego got into creating Anime music videos (AMV) and had a prior YouTube channel that hosted some of her work. She completed a degree in psychology at university, and later went to college again for graphic design. However, after her channel blew up, Diego decided to pursue YouTube as her career instead.[3][5]

Career

Diego created her second and current YouTube channel "Akidearest" on December 18, 2014, with a focus on discussing anime, manga, and otaku culture; her first video, "REACTION: DMMD Love Scene," in which Diego reacts to a scene in Dramatical Murder, was released on December 26, 2014.[6] Considered as her break-out video, "5 Songs That Will Change The Way You See Vocaloid," was released on January 12, 2016; the video delves into serious topics that fans or causal listeners of Vocaloid might not expect.[3][5] On August 21, 2017, Akidearest hit one million subscribers.[7] From 2017 to 2018, Diego co-hosted a weekly SBS podcast titled, The Anime Show, with Joseph Bizinger (The Anime Man), which ran for 68 episodes that discussed about anime, manga, and otaku culture.[8][9]

In January 2019, Diego moved to Japan, at which time her channel expanded to include her experiences while living in Japan.[5][10][11] In same year, Diego also made an in-game cameo appearance in The World Next Door, by Rose City Games.[12]

In her most recent videos she is seen talking more about crime, controversies, and horror topics relating to Japan but still posts some of her old content and short vlogs every now and then on her channel. One of the first times that she dived into crime was by making a playlist titled "ON THE CASE - Detective Aki" where she talks about controversial murders and crimes committed in Japan, she has also traveled to "haunted" and/or "banned" places around Japan and talking about her experience.

Personal life

On November 4, 2016, both she and fellow YouTuber Joey Bizinger announced that they were in a relationship.[13][14]
