Hajime Syacho (はじめしゃちょー, Hajime Shachō, born 14 February 1993) is a Japanese YouTuber who, as of March 2019, had the largest number of YouTube channel subscribers in Japan. He is part of the multi-channel network UUUM. He is nicknamed Hajimen (はじめん) and Moyashi (もやし). In March 2012, he and his university classmate set up his video team "Hajime Company" and started posting videos on YouTube. His first video only had three recorded views. After that, he opened a personal channel and changed his YouTube name from "Hajime-shachō" (はじめ社長, President Hajime) to Hajime Syacho (はじめしゃちょー). From September 2013 until March 2014, he studied English in the United Kingdom. After returning to Japan on April 1, 2014, he announced his affiliation with the group UUUM. He appeared in the YouTube Japan television advertisement "Suki na koto de, Ikite iku" in June 2015. Along with this, his full-page ads were posted in Weekly Shōnen Jump and Shibuya 109, and his exposure on media other than YouTube also increased. Shooting commercials interfered with his university studies, so after consideration he decided not to worry about school and focus most of his energy on making videos, saying, "you only live once, so you should make your life interesting" In March 2016, in addition to gaining the most subscribers on YouTube Japan, he graduated from university. In February 2017, he opened a fee-based fan site "Hajimeno." In March 2017, Mizunyan, a webcaster, exposed Hajime Syacho's cheating scandal with Yuka Kinoshita, who also belongs to UUUM. In addition, he was suspected of having a relationship with a female model who stayed overnight at his home. In response, he released a video admitting to cheating, but denying a relationship with the model. On March 30 of the same year, he announced his suspension of activities on his fan club site. He later resumed his activities on YouTube on 12 May.
