About Dr. Hoshiken channel

Dr. Hoshiken is a Japan-based YouTube channel run by a creator who posts Japanese-language video game content. The channel covers live commentary for the World Computer Shogi Championship, combo videos for SNK fighting games such as Samurai Shodown III and The King of Fighters '94, and educational puzzle game coverage. Most uploads are short vertical clips, with a few long livestream recordings.

The channel has about 1,280 subscribers and 374 videos. Median views are around 2,400 per video, and the audience is estimated to be mostly Japanese-speaking retro fighting game and shogi fans. The website also lists the creator's work on HOSHIKEN GAMES, which covers game development and team pages. Those website pages describe the creator's game projects, though they do not state a profession beyond that.

Rate estimate: $150 to $250 per sponsored video, based on median views and the Shorts share. Compared with paid ads at a $10 to $30 CPM, this creator's $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views on long-form content is not the relevant benchmark, since Shorts are priced lower at $4 to $8 per 1,000 views. Brands targeting Japanese retro gaming fans should consider this channel.
