If you are a regular Kick user, you've probably come across korekore_ch—also known as Koretan—a Japanese content creator who is gaining significant attention. With a unique format focused on "dark news," he addresses real-time social media controversies, offers live advice, and even assists viewers in resolving online disputes during his streams.
In April 2025 alone, he pulled an average of 46,000 viewers in each stream, with a peak of 55,744 views, the highest Kick has seen in Japan. Koretan, who is currently the top Japanese kickboxing-themed broadcaster and current #3 overall on Kick, is quickly establishing himself as a force to be dealt with in the live streaming field.
Koretan started his content journey on platforms like YouTube and TwitCasting, gaining a reputation for digging into internet drama and scandals. He built up an audience from standard gaming or variety material, thanks to his investigative flair and eccentric personality. In the early years, he faced platform restrictions and content pushback due to the sensitive nature of his topics, but this only added to his appeal as an unfiltered voice in Japanese streaming.
The breakout in his career came with a viral broadcast resolving a messy influencer feud in real time. The video was extensively shared on Japanese Twitter and Reddit, showcasing Koretan's fast-paced commentary, live caller format, and sharp humor. As users flocked to his streams to hear the latest scandal unravel, Kick surged with Japanese users tuning in just for him. This incident helped push his Kick following to over 44,000, resulting in 17,000+ new followers in just 30 days.
