"S-S-S-S-SAMURAI SLICE THAT LIKE BUTTON!"

- Cory the "ankle-breaker"

CoryxKenshin is a YouTuber with (as of December 2021) 12 million subscribers. He's been a YouTuber for about 12 years now, starting in 2009, and is known for being friends with other popular YouTubers, like POiiSED, 8-Bit Ryan, BangBangBrandon, YuB, MavAttack, Dashie, OGChan, runJDrun, Tear of Grace, RaisiM1222, Krptic Unknown, iBerleezy, and JAY SAVAGE. He's known for being an ankle-breaking samurai due to his first victim, Ao Oni. He says "slice that like button" because the like button has a part of the sleeve missing, therefore making it look like a samurai sliced it off.

Starting YouTube
Cory was that one anime kid that everyone thought was weird, but in 2009, Cory made his first YouTube video. From that day on, he decided his channel would be one filled with comedy, starting with one subscriber to 10 million subscribers by June 2021. The man is a naturally funny and very positive person.

He played his first horror game, "White Finger". Cory started to play more horror like cheeser and gained 1,000 subscribers overnight. We would very often see him play a series of games as well.

On Dec 15, 2016, Cory finally hit 1 million subscribers and made a special upload on his YouTube channel for it. When he hit 6 million subscribers on Apr 25, 2020, he posted a new video titled "How I Got 6,000,000 subscribers on YouTube".

As of Aug 22, 2020, he has announced he will be going into retirement when he reaches 10 million subscribers. In "Among Us" he always samurai slices when he is the killer.

On March 6, 2021, Cory uploaded a video called "9 million subscriber milestone video"

After uploading his 9 million subscriber milestone video on March 6, 2021, Cory has not posted on YouTube, Twitter, or Instagram, marking this as his 11th hiatus. On June 23, 2021, Cory reached 10 million subscribers. On August 26, 2021, Cory released a video titled "Regarding My Retirement" in which he announces he is not retiring, he also announced that he will be going back to school while still uploading videos, and unboxes his new Diamond Play Button for hitting 10 million subscribers.

Personal Life
We know a little bit about Cory's personal life. Cory lives in his own house while his dog Samson lives with his brother Anthony due to a developed allergy to Samson. (Fun fact, he agreed on the name because of his Fallout 4 lets play when he called Dogmeat-a companion in the game-Samson The Savage. More listed below). He lives in his $400,000 house in South Lyon, Michigan. His dog, named Samson the Savage, is Cory's first pet. Sam joined the Samurai community in May of 2016.

Cory was involved in a car accident in May 2016 with his best friend Brandon. Both were unharmed, but Cory's vehicle was badly wrecked.

Cory also has a condition called Ectodermal Dysplasia, which is a rare genetic disorder he had inherited from his father. It caused him to have 24 teeth instead of 36.

Hiatuses
On Cory's channel, he is known for his long hiatuses, where he goes for months without uploading content. This first happened in Feb of 2016 where Cory did not upload for 2 months but came back on April 29, apologizing for his absence.

2 years later, in Jan 2018, Cory took yet another hiatus for 4 months. He returned on May 2018 saying he just didn't feel like he wasn't 100% and he wasn't taking care of himself as much as he wanted. In November, he took a short hiatus after that where he came back 1 month later.

In May of 2019, a year later, Cory did a 100 uploading challenge where he would upload videos for 100 days in a row with NO BREAKS. He uploaded a video 1 month later saying he would take a break and come back on June 16 but did not. The hiatus was the longest ever on his channel, lasting 9 months.

Cory came back April 3, 2020, from his hiatus with a video titled "hey, been a while" stating he has come back to YouTube which became his first video to reach #1 on trending ever. From then on, he had posted consistent videos of him playing games and other things on his channel. His latest video uploaded is called “Regarding my Retirement"

Nicknames/Alter Egos
Cory not only has a couple of nicknames, but a few aliases used in his skits and/or select series.


 * "CK" - Used as a nickname in most every game he plays that he has to type in names and such.

 * "BambiKilla69" - First seen in Cory's Finding Bigfoot gameplay. Cory (as BambiKilla69) started off the gameplay video with a 4-min skit (One of his longest skits) where he wore leafy camouflage hunting gear and had an Australian accent. He also sported a Nerf® "rifle" which he used to hunt down "Bigfoot." We BambiKilla69 made a second appearance in Cory's COD: WWII gameplay. The last time BambiKilla69 has been seen is in Cory's Sirenhead gameplay where he is hunting him down.

Cory set him up by asking him to dress up in a gillie suit, artificially reconstruct his face in his likeness and then head down the I94 West highway. He was arrested on arrival by the police for the murder of the family that Cory killed. Shortly thereafter, however, Edward managed to escape from prison, and later began hiding messages at the beginning of a few of the latest episodes of Spooky Scary Sundays. It has been revealed in the latest episode that Edward will return in episode 30 (the next episode), stating "Episode 30, it's all over". But in episode 32, Cory states that Edward Norton was dealt with and done for, but this may not be true as he says it in a suspicious tone.
