Biography

Kato was born in Tateyama, Chiba.[2]

On 5 July 2009, Kato posted his first Let's Play video on Niconico.[2] At the time of posting "Complete Pokémon video games on 6 screens at once" (ポケモン6画面で一気にクリアしてやんよ)[5] on 12 July, his Niconico's username was "Unko-chan", so he called himself "Unko-chan".

While Kato worked as a health professional, he continued to stream Let's Play videos as Unko-chan. On 2015, Kato announced that his real name is Junichi Kato, and since then he has been active mainly under this name.[6] In the summer of 2016, Kato retired from the health professional,[7] and he joined MURASH.[8] As of 2022, Kato is popular as a streamer due to live streaming on YouTube, Niconico and Twitch, and performs on many web streams and at events.[9]
