I’m Kai Sonoda from Japan, also known as Ani-Q. My work in video has spanned planning, performing, filming, and editing. These days, I’m making apps on my own.

I launched the client YouTube channel Hey!Ani-Q from zero and reached 1M subscribers during my involvement. My mom and I handled planning, performing, and editing as a two-person crew. I’m no longer involved; the channel is now called sup? Meows. I also launched and produced a celebrity’s channel and my mom’s channel, handling filming and editing. I shared my own videos as Ani-Q, too. I’m grateful to everyone who watched — those experiences still shape what I make today.
