One member of the Philippine gaming community to look out for on TikTok is professional esports talent, JJ-kun. A huge anime enthusiast, his name is actually a combination of "JJ", the initials of his first name, and "-kun", which is a Japanese honorific used for males.
JJ-kun is a multi-genre esports caster, with fighting games like Tekken and Pokémon as his genre of specialization. He also covers racing, first-person shooter, and multiplayer online battle arena games. Before becoming an esports caster, JJ-kun was an aspiring esports player. However, he was quick to realize that he could do better as a caster than a player, and soon landed big projects as part of casting teams in the Philippines and abroad. He even became one of the Valorant casters for TikTok's recent GGPH Creator Cup Tournament!
"I first thought that TikTok was only for short dancing and singing clips, but when I found out that TikTok started to support gaming, I dove into TikTok for content creation purposes," shares JJ-kun, who joined the platform in late 2020. "In the early months, I made a lot of Valorant content but I figured, I am not enjoying it as much since I generally have a distaste for repetitive games that goes for a long period of time per game, only to lose," he adds. "I tried incorporating what I actually want to do - Anime and gaming, and Pokémon! My recent videos are literally me playing Pokémon Smile, a game that requires you to brush your teeth to be able to catch Pokémon." - JJKun.
A gamer at heart, JJ-kun has been playing video games for as long as he can remember. Follow JJ-Kun on TikTok for more awesome gaming gameplay.
