Little Kuriboh

LittleKuriboh (aka Martin Billany) is a youtube user commonly known for the creation of the Yugioh Abridged series of videos.

LittleKuriboh's Yugioh The Abridged Series is most well known for being the first ever abridged series to be recognised by the online world, and has grown to become simultaneously one of the most popular and most influential abridged series on the interet. Abridging itself involves taking the original film of a show (typically anime), editing and redubbing it with an actors own voice to change the genre to comedy and shorten the average episode length. Not to be confused with Youtube Poop, where videos are edited to alter the dialogue for humourous purposes, this style of youtube video typically revolves around loosely retelling the original narrative of the show whilst incorporating humour through exaggerating individual character types or catchphrases whilst all the dialogue is delivered by the shows creators.

LittleKuriboh has also worked on various side projects and other abridged series, the most well known of which are Dragon Ball Z Abridged, a series created by fellow abridgers KaiserNeko, Lanipator and Takahata101, and the Naruto Spoof Show, Billany's repsonse to the official Naruto Abridged Series which he feels lacks any form of creative or humourous talent. As of April 2012 53 episodes of Yugioh The Abridged Series have been released on Youtube, as well as several abridged movies and parody music videos all created by Little Kuriboh.
